Offshore Natural Gas Pipelines

Enterprise owns or has an interest in approximately 1,544 miles of offshore natural gas pipelines that provide gathering and transmission services for natural gas developments located in the Gulf of Mexico, primarily offshore Louisiana and Texas. These systems receive natural gas from production facilities and other pipelines through system interconnects and transport the natural gas to our processing plants and pipelines, as well as other downstream natural gas processing plants and pipelines that serve markets throughout the eastern half of the United States.

In general, these pipelines generate revenue based on transportation fees charged per unit of volume (typically in MMBtus) transported. These agreements tend to be long-term in nature, often involving life-of-reserve commitments with firm and interruptible fees. Our offshore natural gas pipeline systems do not take title to the natural gas volumes they transport; rather, the shipper retains title and the associated commodity price risk.
