Liquids Pipeline Transportation Volume measures aggregate NGL, crude-oil, refined-products, and petrochemical pipeline transportation activity.

Enterprise Products Partners reported 8.264 million barrels per day in 2025.

Three disclosed lanes reconcile exactly to the aggregate liquids total

Enterprise reported:

NGL Pipeline Transportation Volume: 4.646 million barrels per day
Crude Oil Pipeline Transportation Volume: 2.578 million barrels per day
Petrochemical and Refined Products Pipeline Volume: 1.040 million barrels per day

Adding 4.646 + 2.578 + 1.040 gives exactly 8.264 million barrels per day.

NGLs supplied about 56.2% of the disclosed mix

On that decomposition, NGL transportation was about 56.2%, crude oil about 31.2%, and petrochemical/refined-products traffic about 12.6%.

This makes the aggregate useful as a network total while preserving the commodity mix underneath it.

Mix changes can matter even when total volume is flat

The three lanes can have different tariffs, assets, customers, contract structures, and operating costs. A shift among them can therefore change economics without a large change in aggregate liquids throughput.

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.
