Enterprise Products Partners L.P., a leading North American provider of midstream energy services, has announced that it received a notice from the U.S. Department of Commerce's Bureau of Industry and Security $(BIS.AU)$ regarding the intent to deny applications for licenses to export three ethane cargoes to China. This decision, announced on June 3, 2025, affects approximately 2.2 million barrels of ethane. The company has up to twenty days to respond with comments or rebuttals. These licensing requirements were newly implemented as of May 23, 2025, necessitating approvals for exports of ethane and butane with high purity levels to China, although the requirement for butane was later withdrawn. The review is part of an ongoing regulatory process impacting U.S. ethane exports, with significant implications for Enterprise, given its substantial involvement in ethane exports to China. No other organizations are mentioned in relation to this regulatory review.
