Petrochemical and Refined Products Pipeline Volume measures pipeline transportation primarily for refined products and petrochemicals.

Enterprise Products Partners reported 1.040 million barrels per day in 2025.

This lane represented about 12.6% of aggregate liquids pipeline volume

Enterprise reported Liquids Pipeline Transportation Volume of 8.264 million barrels per day.

Dividing 1.040 by 8.264 gives about 12.6%.

NGL, crude, and petrochemical/refined-products lanes close the total exactly

The other disclosed components were 4.646 million barrels per day of NGL Pipeline Transportation Volume and 2.578 million barrels per day of crude-oil pipeline transportation.

Adding 4.646 + 2.578 + 1.040 gives exactly 8.264 million barrels per day, matching the aggregate liquids figure.

A mixed product lane is not one standardized tariff stream

Refined products and petrochemicals can use different systems, customers, origins, destinations, tariffs, and contract structures.

The 1.040 million barrel figure therefore establishes activity and mix, but not a single per-barrel economic yield.

Where this concept fits

Petrochemical throughput and margin conversionCurrent relationship
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.
Midstream Gross Operating MarginPetrochemical and Refined Products Pipeline VolumeCurrent conceptPropylene Production Volume
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
Pipeline, terminal, and storage network
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.
