NGL Marine Terminal Volume measures NGL volumes loaded through Enterprise's marine terminals.

Enterprise Products Partners reported 970 thousand barrels per day in 2025.

NGLs represented about 47.0% of aggregate marine terminal volume

Enterprise reported Marine Terminal Volume of 2.063 million barrels per day.

The 970 thousand barrel NGL lane therefore represented about 47.0% of the aggregate marine total.

Marine loading was about 20.9% of NGL pipeline volume as a stage comparison

NGL Pipeline Transportation Volume was 4.646 million barrels per day.

Dividing 970 thousand by 4.646 million gives about 20.9%. The comparison shows the relative scale of the marine stage, not the share of pipeline barrels that were necessarily exported.

Loading activity is not export price or margin

Marine terminal volume says how much product moved through loading assets. It does not tell investors the commodity selling price, whether Enterprise owned the NGLs, the terminal fee per barrel, destination economics, or profit.

Those boundaries matter when export activity rises during a period of changing commodity prices.

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.
