ENRON LIQUIDS PIPELINE, L.P. REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 1996 NET INCOME PER UNIT OF $0.42

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Tuesday, April 23, 1996

HOUSTON -- Enron Liquids Pipeline, L.P. today reported first quarter 1996 net income of $2.8 million, or $0.42 per unit, compared to first quarter 1995 net income of $4.0 million, or $0.60 per unit. Net revenues were $16.9 million in the first quarter of 1996 as compared to $14.7 million in the same period of 1995.

Cash distributions to unitholders for the first quarter of 1996, totaling $0.63 per unit, were declared on March 21, 1996. The distribution is payable May 15, 1996 to unitholders of record as of April 30, 1996.

"The decline in earnings from the first quarter of 1995 was primarily due to lower earnings on our North System," said Raymond R. Kaskel, president of Enron Liquids Pipeline Company, the general partner of Enron Liquids Pipeline, L.P. "The decrease was a result of higher operations and maintenance (O&M) expenses in 1996 primarily due to a new storage agreement that went into effect January 1, 1996. These expenses are expected to be offset by future storage sublease and long-haul transportation revenues on the North System. In addition, O&M expenses in the first quarter of 1995 were reduced by product gains, which arise from inherent metering variances on the pipeline. We are very pleased to report that during the first quarter of 1996 we were able to replace volumes on the North System that were lost due to the closing of a synthetic natural gas facility during 1995. Equity earnings related to our Mont Belvieu NGL fractionation facility declined due to lower volumes processed as a result of higher natural gas prices relative to NGL prices which led customers to sell the gas rather than remove the liquids. In addition, results at our Cora coal terminal were negatively impacted due to downtime caused by the severe winter weather. These decreases were partially offset by significantly stronger earnings from the Central Basin Pipeline, where volumes increased 51 percent due to new enhanced oil recovery projects undertaken by our customers," said Kaskel.

Enron Liquids Pipeline, L.P. owns and operates two interstate common carrier natural gas liquids (NGL) pipeline systems and one carbon dioxide (CO2) pipeline system. The North System transports, stores and delivers a full range of NGLs and refined products from south central Kansas to markets in the Midwest and has interconnects, using third party pipelines, to the eastern United States. The Cypress Pipeline transports ethane from Mont Belvieu, Texas, to the Lake Charles, Louisiana area. The Central Basin Pipeline transports CO2 in West Texas. The Partnership also owns and operates the Cora Terminal, a modern, high-speed, rail-to-barge coal transfer facility and the Painter gas processing plant and related facilities, located in Uinta County, Wyoming and owns an indirect interest in an NGL fractionator. Enron Liquids Pipeline, L.P. trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol, "ENP".
