Enterprise Products New Facility
Enterprise Products Partners L.P. announced today its west storage facility at its Mont Belvieu complex, located approximately 35 miles east of Houston, Texas experienced a fire. One worker is presently unaccounted for at this time. Once the fire is extinguished, Enterprise will be able more fully to assess damage to the facility.
The partnership’s main facilities at Mont Belvieu were not damaged and remain operational, which includes the natural gas liquids fractionators, the propylene fractionators, the butane isomerization units, the octane enhancement facility, north and east facilities and the import/export terminals located on the Houston Ship Channel. We do not believe the fire poses any immediate danger to the community.
Enterprise will provide a further update once the impact of the fire has been more fully assessed.
