Business Wire
Enterprise Products Partners L.P. (NYSE: EPD) is investigating
the cause of a fire that occurred yesterday at its natural gas
processing facility in Pascagoula, Mississippi. There were no
injuries nor impacts to the surrounding community and the fire was
restricted to inside the facility. The situation is under control
and the plant has been shut down. Enterprise personnel have been
working closely with local emergency responders and the company has
notified all appropriate regulatory authorities.
The Pascagoula plant receives natural gas from third party
pipelines. The plant is comprised of three trains with
approximately 1.5 billion cubic feet per day of capacity. The
facility was averaging approximately 400 million cubic feet per day
of inlet volumes. Enterprise is working with its customers and
third party facility operators to keep them apprised of the
situation and help determine other available options while the
Pascagoula plant is out of service.
Enterprise assumed 100 percent ownership of the Pascagoula plant
when it purchased the outstanding interest from BP during the first
quarter of 2016.
