Enterprise Announces Projects to Expand NGL and Petrochemical Storage Services at its Mont Belvieu Facility.

HOUSTON -- Enterprise Products Partners L.P. (NYSE:EPD) today announced plans to expand its natural gas liquids ("NGL") and petrochemical storage services at its complex in Mont Belvieu, Texas. The partnership announced two projects to expand brine handling capacity to improve its ability to receive and deliver NGLs and petrochemicals at its underground storage facilities in Mont Belvieu. The increased storage rate capacity will further enable Enterprise to enhance product storage services and movement to transportation and distribution pipelines which serve the Gulf Coast region, as well as to its import and export facilities on the Houston Ship Channel.

Enterprise, which currently owns and operates 94 million barrels of usable storage capacity at Mont Belvieu, will more than double its brine storage capabilities to 19 million barrels. Additionally, it will increase its capacity to produce brine for injection service by drilling two new brine production wells. These expansion projects are scheduled to be placed in service in 2006. Enterprise expects the additional brine handling and production capacity will result in increased revenues from its storage services business beginning in the second half of 2006.

Brine, a mixture of salt and water, is injected into underground storage caverns in order to displace and deliver NGLs and petrochemicals from the storage cavern to pipelines. Brine is primarily stored in above ground reservoirs.

"Increasing our brine storage capacity and adding two new production wells will provide added flexibility to meet the growing demand for NGL and petrochemical transportation and storage services at Mont Belvieu, which is the largest NGL hub in the U.S.," said Robert G. Phillips, president and chief executive officer of Enterprise. "This will allow for the most efficient utilization of our systems to deliver NGLs into the major transportation pipelines and for receipts of NGLs from the major producing regions of the country and from imports."
