Read MoreHide Full Article

Key Takeaways

  • EPD plans to generate more cash from $5.1B in capital projects under construction.
  • Mentone West 2 and Athena gas processing plants each add 300 MMcf/d of planned capacity.
  • Units gained 4.1% in a year as EPD trades at a slightly lower EV/EBITDA than its industry.

Enterprise Products Partners LP (EPD - Free Report) is a leading midstream player that generates stable cash flows and is not highly vulnerable to the volatility in oil and natural gas prices. The partnership has a pipeline network that covers more than 50,000 miles, transporting natural gas, crude, petrochemicals, NGLs and refined products.

EPD is also well-positioned to generate additional cash flows from its major capital projects worth $5.1 billion that are under construction, as mentioned in its recent investor deck. Some of the notable projects that are not yet in service are Mentone West 2 and Athena, among others.

The Mentone West 2 project signifies the partnership’s natural gas processing plant in Delaware with a daily capacity of 300 MMcf/d. Enterprise Products expects the development to come into service by the first half of 2026. The Athena project reflects gas processing in Midland with a capacity of 300 MMcf/d.

KMI & ENB Also Have Huge Capital Backlogs

Like EPD, both Kinder Morgan, Inc. (KMI - Free Report) and Enbridge Inc. (ENB - Free Report) have a handsome backlog of capital projects.

KMI highlighted that it had a growth capital backlog of $9.3 billion as of Sept. 30, 2025. ENB stated that its total secured capital project is worth C$35 billion. Hence, KMI and ENB are also well-poised to generate additional cash flows in the coming days.
