HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Enterprise Products Partners L.P. (NYSE: EPD) (“Enterprise”) today announced the start of service at its 12th natural gas liquids (“NGL”) fractionator in Chambers County, Texas, adding an incremental 150,000 barrels per day (“BPD”) of nameplate capacity. Supported by long-term customer agreements, the new facility increases Enterprise’s NGL fractionation capacity to 1.2 million BPD at the Chambers County complex. Companywide, Enterprise now has approximately 1.7 million BPD of NGL fractionation capacity. The new fractionator is among $3.8 billion of major growth projects beginning service in 2023.
