Marine Terminal Volume measures aggregate NGL, crude-oil, refined-products, and petrochemical loading activity through Enterprise's marine terminals.

Enterprise Products Partners reported 2.063 million barrels per day in 2025.

NGL and crude explain about 84% of aggregate marine volume

Enterprise separately reported NGL Marine Terminal Volume of 970 thousand barrels per day and Crude Oil Marine Terminal Volume of 763 thousand barrels per day.

Together they equal 1.733 million barrels per day, about 84.0% of the 2.063 million aggregate total.

The remaining roughly 330 thousand barrels per day, or about 16.0%, is the residual across the other product categories included in the aggregate measure.

NGLs were about 47% and crude about 37% of the total

The disclosed mix puts NGL marine activity at roughly 47.0% of aggregate terminal volume and crude at roughly 37.0%.

That decomposition is more informative than treating all terminal barrels as one homogeneous flow.

Terminal throughput is not export revenue

The measure tracks physical loading. It does not disclose commodity prices, ownership of the product, terminal fee rates, destination economics, or margin.

Use the commodity-specific terminal measures to understand mix before drawing conclusions from the aggregate volume.

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.
Crude Oil Marine Terminal Volume Crude Oil Pipeline Transportation Volume Equivalent Pipeline Transportation Volume Liquids Pipeline Transportation Volume Midstream Liquids Storage CapacityMarine Terminal VolumeCurrent conceptNatural Gas Pipeline Transportation Volume Midstream Natural Gas Storage Capacity NGL Marine Terminal Volume NGL Pipeline Transportation Volume Midstream Pipeline Mileage
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.
Equity NGL-Equivalent Production Volume Fee-Based Natural Gas Processing Volume Natural Gas Processing Inlet Volume NGL Fractionation Volume
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.
