Enterprise Products Partners LP received a notice saying the US intends to deny licenses for three proposed cargoes of ethane heading to China as the Trump administration doubles down on security for exports to the country.
The Houston-based midstream energy company has up to 20 days to issue a rebuttal to the notice from the Bureau of Industry and Security at the US Department of Commerce, Enterprise said in a statement Wednesday. The cargoes contain about 2.2 million barrels of ethane.
