Crude Oil Marine Terminal Volume measures crude oil loaded through marine terminal assets.

Enterprise Products Partners reported 763 thousand barrels per day in its 2025 operating disclosures.

Marine loading was about 29.6% of reported crude pipeline volume

Enterprise reported Crude Oil Pipeline Transportation Volume of 2.578 million barrels per day. Dividing 763 thousand by 2.578 million gives about 29.6%.

That is a stage-to-stage scale check, not a throughput reconciliation. Crude can enter, leave, or bypass different parts of an integrated network, and the pipeline and terminal populations do not have to contain the same barrels.

Terminal activity has different economics from pipeline transportation

Marine terminals add loading, storage, dock, and export-facing services. Pipeline systems monetize transportation under different tariff and contract structures.

A higher terminal volume can therefore change the network's service mix even when total crude pipeline throughput is unchanged.

Throughput is not export revenue

The 763 thousand barrels per day figure measures physical loading activity. It does not disclose the commodity selling price, export revenue, terminal fee per barrel, or terminal margin.

Use the pipeline measure to study inland transportation and this terminal measure to study the downstream loading stage.

Where this concept fits

Pipeline, terminal, and storage networkCurrent relationship
Commodity-specific pipeline and marine-terminal volumes show throughput by service layer, equivalent pipeline volume provides a network-wide energy-equivalent view, and pipeline mileage plus liquids and gas storage capacity describe the physical footprint that supports those flows.

Gas processing and NGL conversion
Processing inlet volume shows physical rich-gas flow, fee-based processing volume isolates service activity, equity NGL-equivalent production captures commodity-linked processing exposure, and fractionation volume shows the downstream separation of mixed NGLs into purity products.

Petrochemical throughput and margin conversion
Propylene production and petrochemical/refined-products pipeline volumes add manufacturing and specialty-product activity, while gross operating margin shows the issuer-defined non-GAAP operating contribution produced across the integrated network.
