What Enterprise Products Partners L.P does

US midstream MLP gathering, processing, transporting and storing natural gas, NGLs, crude oil and petrochemicals.

Charges fees for moving, storing, processing and exporting oil, gas and gas liquids, mostly under long-term contracts, so cash flow depends more on volumes than on commodity prices. As a master limited partnership, a tax structure that passes income to unit holders, it pays out most of its cash. Founder Dan Duncan's family still holds a large stake.

Products and services
