Enterprise Products' $6B Capital Projects Secure Incremental Cash Flows

Read MoreHide Full Article

Key Takeaways

  • Enterprise Products is building $6B in midstream projects to boost future cash flows.
  • The partnership's 50,000-mile pipeline network supports fee-based income stability.
  • EPD has raised distributions for 27 straight years, rewarding unitholders consistently.

Enterprise Products Partners LP (EPD - Free Report) is a leading midstream player that earns consistent fee-based income from its extensive portfolio of pipeline and storage assets. Additionally, the partnership has likely secured extra cash flows from its $6 billion worth of key capital midstream projects that are currently under construction.  

EPD has a pipeline network across more than 50,000 miles, transporting crude oil, natural gas, natural gas liquids and refined products. The partnership also has a storage capacity of more than 300 million barrels (MMBbls). The asset portfolio generating steady cash flows indicates a stable business model, which is less vulnerable to volatility in commodity prices. This is because the pipelines are booked by shippers for a long term, providing stability from volume and price risks.

On top of that, the under-construction, $6 billion worth of capital midstream projects will ensure further stability in generating incremental cash flows for unit holders. EPD, which already hiked distribution for 27 consecutive years, will thus be able to reward unitholders with additional distributions.

KMI & ENB Also Have Huge Project Backlog

Kinder Morgan Inc. (KMI - Free Report) and Enbridge Inc. (ENB - Free Report) also have strong project backlogs to support their incremental future cash flows.

As of June 30, 2025, Kinder Morgan had a project backlog of $9.3 billion. KMI boasted that it has been successfully increasing its backlog while confirming the projects will generate handsome returns.

Enbridge stated that its secured capital program totals C$32 billion. ENB mentioned that its capital program comprises projects associated with liquid pipelines, gas transmission, renewables and gas distribution & storage activities.
