NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Except per unit amounts, or as noted within the context of each footnote disclosure, the dollar amounts presented in the tabular data within these footnote disclosures are stated in thousands of dollars.

Note 1. Partnership Organization

Partnership Organization

Enterprise Products Partners L.P. is a publicly traded Delaware limited partnership, the common units of which are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the ticker symbol “EPD.” Unless the context requires otherwise, references to “we,” “us,” “our” or “Enterprise Products Partners” are intended to mean the business and operations of Enterprise Products Partners L.P. and its consolidated subsidiaries.

We were formed in April 1998 to own and operate certain natural gas liquids (“NGLs”) related businesses of EPCO, Inc. (“EPCO”). We conduct substantially all of our business through our wholly owned subsidiary, Enterprise Products Operating LLC (“EPO”). We are owned 98% by our limited partners and 2% by Enterprise Products GP, LLC (our general partner, referred to as “EPGP”). EPGP is owned 100% by Enterprise GP Holdings L.P. (“Enterprise GP Holdings”), a publicly traded affiliate, the units of which are listed on the NYSE under the ticker symbol “EPE.” The general partner of Enterprise GP Holdings is EPE Holdings, LLC (“EPE Holdings”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Dan Duncan LLC, the membership interests of which are owned by Dan L. Duncan. We, EPGP, Enterprise GP Holdings, EPE Holdings and Dan Duncan LLC are affiliates and under common control of Dan L. Duncan, the Group Co-Chairman and controlling shareholder of EPCO.

References to “TEPPCO” mean TEPPCO Partners, L.P., a publicly traded affiliate, the common units of which are listed on the NYSE under the ticker symbol “TPP.” References to “TEPPCO GP” refer to Texas Eastern Products Pipeline Company, LLC, which is the general partner of TEPPCO and is wholly owned by Enterprise GP Holdings.

References to “Energy Transfer Equity” mean the business and operations of Energy Transfer Equity, L.P. and its consolidated subsidiaries. References to “LE GP” mean LE GP, LLC, which is the general partner of Energy Transfer Equity. On May 7, 2007, Enterprise GP Holdings acquired non-controlling interests in both LE GP and Energy Transfer Equity. Enterprise GP Holdings accounts for its investments in LE GP and Energy Transfer Equity using the equity method of accounting.

References to “Employee Partnerships” mean EPE Unit L.P. (“EPE Unit I”), EPE Unit II, L.P. (“EPE Unit II”), EPE Unit III, L.P. (“EPE Unit III”) and Enterprise Unit L.P. (“Enterprise Unit”), collectively, which are private company affiliates of EPCO.

On February 5, 2007, a consolidated subsidiary of ours, Duncan Energy Partners L.P. (“Duncan Energy Partners”), completed an initial public offering of its common units (see Note 12). Duncan Energy Partners owns equity interests in certain of our midstream energy businesses. References to “DEP GP” mean DEP Holdings, LLC, which is the general partner of Duncan Energy Partners and is wholly owned by EPO.

For financial reporting purposes, we consolidate the financial statements of Duncan Energy Partners with those of our own and reflect its operations in our business segments. We control Duncan Energy Partners through our ownership of its general partner. Also, due to common control of the entities by Dan L. Duncan, the initial consolidated balance sheet of Duncan Energy Partners reflects our historical carrying basis in each of the subsidiaries contributed to Duncan Energy Partners. Public ownership of Duncan Energy Partners’ net assets and earnings are presented as a component of minority interest in our consolidated financial statements. The borrowings of Duncan Energy Partners are presented as part of our

consolidated debt; however, we do not have any obligation for the payment of interest or repayment of borrowings incurred by Duncan Energy Partners.

Basis of Presentation

Our results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of results expected for the full year.

Essentially all of our assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses are recorded at EPO’s level in our consolidated financial statements. Enterprise Products Partners L.P. acts as guarantor of certain of EPO’s debt obligations. See Note 17 for condensed consolidated financial information of EPO.

In our opinion, the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include all adjustments consisting of normal recurring accruals necessary for fair presentation. Although we believe the disclosures in these financial statements are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). These Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 (Commission File No. 1-14323).

Note 2. General Accounting Policies and Related Matters

Consolidation Policy

We evaluate our financial interests in companies to determine if they represent variable interest entities where we are the primary beneficiary. If such criteria are met, we consolidate the financial statements of such businesses with those of our own. Our financial statements include our accounts and those of our majority-owned subsidiaries in which we have a controlling financial or equity interest, after the elimination of intercompany accounts and transactions.

If an investee is organized as a limited partnership or limited liability company and maintains separate ownership accounts, we account for our investment using the equity method if our ownership interest is between 3% and 50% and we exercise significant influence over the investee’s operating and financial policies. For all other types of investments, we apply the equity method of accounting if our ownership interest is between 20% and 50% and we exercise significant influence over the investee’s operating and financial policies. In consolidation, we eliminate our proportionate share of profits and losses from transactions with our equity method unconsolidated affiliates to the extent such amounts are material and remain on our balance sheet (or those of our equity method investees) in inventory or similar accounts.

If our ownership interest in an investee does not provide us with either control or significant influence over the investee, we account for the investment using the cost method.

Dixie Employee Benefit Plans

Dixie Pipeline Company (“Dixie”), a consolidated subsidiary of EPO, directly employs the personnel that operate its pipeline system. Certain of these employees are eligible to participate in Dixie’s defined contribution plan and pension and postretirement benefit plans.

Defined Contribution Plan. Dixie contributed $0.1 million to its company-sponsored defined contribution plan during each of the three month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007. During each of the six month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, Dixie contributed $0.2 million to its company-sponsored defined contribution plan.

Pension and Postretirement Benefit Plans. Dixie’s net pension benefit costs were $0.1 million for each of the three month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007. For each of the six month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, Dixie’s net pension benefit costs were $0.3 million. Dixie’s net postretirement benefit costs were $0.1 million for each of the three month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007. For each of the six month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, Dixie’s net postretirement benefit costs were $0.2 million. During the remainder of 2008, Dixie expects to contribute approximately $0.2 million to its postretirement benefit plan and approximately $0.5 million to its pension plan.

Environmental Costs

Environmental costs for remediation are accrued based on estimates of known remediation requirements. Such accruals are based on management’s best estimate of the ultimate cost to remediate a site and are adjusted as further information and circumstances develop. Those estimates may change substantially depending on information about the nature and extent of contamination, appropriate remediation technologies and regulatory approvals. Ongoing environmental compliance costs are charged to expense as incurred. In accruing for environmental remediation liabilities, costs of future expenditures for environmental remediation are not discounted to their present value, unless the amount and timing of the expenditures are fixed or reliably determinable. Expenditures to mitigate or prevent future environmental contamination are capitalized.

At June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, our accrued liabilities for environmental remediation projects totaled $22.9 million and $26.5 million, respectively. These amounts were derived from a range of reasonable estimates based upon studies and site surveys. Unanticipated changes in circumstances and/or legal requirements could result in expenses being incurred in future periods in addition to an increase in actual cash required to remediate contamination for which we are responsible.

Estimates

Preparing our financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts presented in the financial statements (i.e. assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses) and disclosures about contingent assets and liabilities. Our actual results could differ from these estimates. On an ongoing basis, management reviews its estimates based on currently available information. Changes in facts and circumstances may result in revised estimates.

We revised the remaining useful lives of certain assets, most notably the assets that constitute our Texas Intrastate System, effective January 1, 2008. This revision adjusted the remaining useful life of such assets to incorporate recent data showing that proved natural gas reserves supporting throughput and processing volumes for these assets have changed since our original determination made in September 2004. These revisions will prospectively reduce our depreciation expense on assets having carrying values totaling $2.72 billion at January 1, 2008. For additional information regarding this change in estimate, see Note 6.

Minority Interest

As presented in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, minority interest represents third-party and affiliate ownership interests in the net assets of our consolidated subsidiaries. For financial reporting purposes, the assets and liabilities of our controlled subsidiaries, including Duncan Energy Partners, are consolidated with those of our own, with any third-party or affiliate ownership interests in such amounts presented as minority interest.

At June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, minority interest includes $285.4 million and $288.6 million, respectively, attributable to third party owners of Duncan Energy Partners. Minority interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 includes $4.8 million and $3.3 million, respectively, attributable to third party owners of Duncan Energy Partners. For the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 minority interest expense attributable to third party owners of Duncan Energy Partners

was $9.1 million and $6.1 million, respectively. The remaining minority interest expense amounts for 2008 and 2007 are attributable to our other consolidated affiliates.

Contributions from minority interests for the six months ended June 30, 2007 includes approximately $291 million received from third parties in connection with the initial public offering of Duncan Energy Partners in February 2007.

Recent Accounting Developments

The following information summarizes recently issued accounting guidance since those reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 that will or may affect our future financial statements.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133. Issued in March, 2008, SFAS 161 changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities with the intent to provide users of financial statements with an enhanced understanding of (i) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (ii) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and its related interpretations, and (iii) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS 161 requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of and gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. This statement has the same scope as SFAS 133, and accordingly applies to all entities. SFAS 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. This Statement encourages, but does not require, comparative disclosures for earlier periods at initial adoption. SFAS 161 only affects disclosure requirements; therefore, our adoption of this statement effective January 1, 2009 will not impact our financial position or results of operations.

SFAS 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS 162, which establishes a consistent framework, or hierarchy, for selecting the accounting principles used to prepare financial statements of nongovernmental entities in conformity with GAAP. SFAS 162 is effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) amendments to its Interim Auditing Standards. We do not expect SFAS 162 to have a material impact on the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

EITF 07-4, Application of the Two Class Method Under FASB Statement No. 128, Earnings Per Share, to Master Limited Partnerships ("MLP"). EITF 07-4 was issued during the first quarter of 2008 and prescribes the manner in which a MLP should allocate and present earnings per unit using the two-class method set forth in SFAS 128, “Earnings Per Share.” Under the two-class method, current period earnings are allocated to the general partner (including earnings attributable to any embedded incentive distribution rights) and limited partners according to the distribution formula for available cash set forth in the MLP’s partnership agreement. EITF 07-4 is effective for us on January 1, 2009. Management is currently evaluating the impact that EITF 07-4 will have on our earnings per unit computations and disclosures.

FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) No. EITF 03-6-1, Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities. FSP EITF 03-6-1 was issued in June 2008. FSP EITF 03-6-1 clarifies that unvested share-based payment awards constitute participating securities, if such awards include nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents. Consequently, awards that are deemed to be participating securities must be allocated earnings in the computation of earnings per share under the two-class method. FSP EITF 03-6-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. We intend to adopt FSP EITF 03-6-1 effective January 1, 2009 and are currently evaluating the impact of adoption on our consolidated financial statements.

FSP No. FAS 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157. FSP 157-2 defers the effective date of SFAS 157 to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years, for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). As allowed under FSP 157-2, we have not applied the provisions of SFAS 157 to our nonfinancial assets and liabilities measured at fair value, which include certain assets and liabilities acquired in business combinations. We are currently evaluating the impact of our adoption of FSP 157-2 effective January 1, 2009 on our consolidated financial statements.

On January 1, 2008, we adopted the provisions of SFAS 157 that apply to financial assets and liabilities. See Note 4 for these fair value disclosures.

FSP No. FAS 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets. In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP 142-3, which amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. This change is intended to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under SFAS 141(R) and other GAAP. FSP 142-3 is effective for us on January 1, 2009. The requirement for determining useful lives must be applied prospectively to intangible assets acquired after January 1, 2009 and the disclosure requirements must be applied prospectively to all intangible assets recognized as of, and subsequent to, January 1, 2009. We are evaluating the impact that FSP 142-3 will have on our future financial statements.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash represents amounts held in connection with our commodity financial instruments portfolio and physical natural gas purchases made on the New York Mercantile Exchange. In addition, at December 31, 2007, restricted cash included amounts held by a third party trustee charged with disbursing proceeds from our Petal GO Zone bond offering. The following table presents the components of our restricted cash balances at the periods indicated:

	June 30,		December 31,
	2008		2007
Amounts held in brokerage accounts related to
commodity hedging activities and physical natural gas purchases	$	--	$	53,144
Proceeds from Petal GO Zone bonds reserved for construction costs		--		17,871
Total restricted cash	$	--	$	71,015

Due to market conditions at June 30, 2008, no cash was restricted to meet commodity exchange deposit requirements with respect to our commodity risk hedging activities and physical natural gas purchases; however, cash may be restricted in the future to maintain our positions as commodity prices fluctuate or deposit requirements change. As of June 30, 2008, all proceeds from the Petal GO Zone bonds had been released by the trustee to fund construction costs associated with the expansion of our Petal, Mississippi storage facility. See Note 4 for information about our hedging activities and related changes in restricted cash balances subsequent to June 30, 2008.

Note 3. Accounting for Unit-Based Awards

We account for unit-based awards in accordance with SFAS 123(R), “Share-Based Payment.” SFAS 123(R) requires us to recognize compensation expense related to unit-based awards based on the fair value of the award at grant date. The fair value of restricted unit awards is based on the market price of the underlying common units on the date of grant. The fair value of other unit-based awards is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value of an equity-classified award (such as a restricted unit award) is amortized to earnings on a straight-line basis over the requisite service or vesting period. Compensation expense for liability-classified awards (such as unit appreciation rights (“UARs”)) is

recognized over the requisite service or vesting period of an award based on the fair value of the award remeasured at each reporting period. Liability-type awards are cash settled upon vesting.

The following table summarizes our unit-based compensation amounts by plan during each of the periods indicated:

	For the Three Months				For the Six Months
	Ended June 30,				Ended June 30,
	2008		2007		2008		2007

(1) Amounts presented for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 include $4.6 million associated with the resignation of our former chief executive officer.

1998 Plan

The 1998 Plan provides for the issuance of up to 7,000,000 of our common units. After giving effect to outstanding option awards at June 30, 2008 and the issuance and forfeiture of restricted unit awards through June 30, 2008, a total of 768,154 additional common units could be issued under the 1998 Plan.

Unit option awards. Under the 1998 Plan, non-qualified incentive options to purchase a fixed number of our common units may be granted to key employees of EPCO who perform management, administrative or operational functions for us. The following table presents unit option activity under the 1998 Plan for the periods indicated:

						Weighted-
				Weighted-		Average
				Average		Remaining		Aggregate
	Number of			Strike Price		Contractual		Intrinsic
	Units			(dollars/unit)		Term (in years)		Value (1)
Outstanding at December 31, 2007 (2)		2,315,000		$	26.18
Exercised		(47,500	)	$	20.25
Forfeited or terminated		(85,000	)	$	26.72
Outstanding at June 30, 2008		2,182,500		$	26.29		5.68	$	4,260
Options exercisable at:
June 30, 2008		517,500		$	21.31		4.42	$	4,260

(1) Aggregate intrinsic value reflects fully vested unit options at June 30, 2008. (2) During 2008, we amended the terms of certain of our outstanding unit options. In general, the expiration dates of these awards were modified from May and August 2017 to December 2012.

The total intrinsic value of unit options exercised during the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 was $0.4 million and $0.5 million, respectively. At June 30, 2008, there was an estimated $2.2 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested unit options granted under the 1998 Plan. We expect to recognize our share of this cost over a weighted-average period of 2.6 years in accordance with the EPCO administrative services agreement.

During the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, we received cash of $0.6 million and $7.3 million, respectively, from the exercise of unit options. Conversely, our option-related reimbursements to EPCO were $0.5 million and $2.8 million, respectively.

Restricted unit awards. Under the 1998 Plan, we may also issue restricted common units to key employees of EPCO and directors of our general partner. The following table summarizes information regarding our restricted common units for the periods indicated:

				Weighted-
				Average Grant
	Number of			Date Fair Value
	Units			per Unit (1)
Restricted units at December 31, 2007		1,688,540
Granted (2)		718,800		$	25.64
Forfeited		(72,177	)	$	25.88
Vested		(70,000	)	$	19.35
Restricted units at June 30, 2008		2,265,163

(1) Determined by dividing the aggregate grant date fair value of awards (including an allowance for forfeitures) by the number of awards issued. (2) Aggregate grant date fair value of restricted common unit awards issued during 2008 was $18.4 million based on a grant date market price of our common units ranging from $30.38 to $32.31 per unit and an estimated forfeiture rate of 17%.

The total fair value of our restricted unit awards that vested during the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 was $1.3 million and $1.4 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2008, there was $37.8 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to restricted common units. We will recognize our share of such costs in accordance with the EPCO administrative services agreement. At June 30, 2008, these costs are expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.6 years.

Phantom unit awards. The 1998 Plan also provides for the issuance of phantom unit awards. These liability awards are automatically redeemed for cash based on the vested portion of the fair market value of the phantom units at redemption dates in each award. No phantom unit awards have been issued to date under the 1998 Plan.

2008 LTIP

On January 29, 2008, our unitholders approved the 2008 LTIP, which provides for awards of our common units and other rights to our non-employee directors and to consultants and employees of EPCO and its affiliates providing services to us. Awards under the 2008 LTIP may be granted in the form of restricted units, phantom units, unit options, UARs and distribution equivalent rights. The 2008 LTIP is administered by EPGP’s Audit, Conflicts and Governance (“ACG”) Committee. The 2008 LTIP provides for the issuance of up to 10,000,000 of our common units. After giving effect to option awards outstanding at June 30, 2008, a total of 9,205,000 additional common units could be issued under the 2008 LTIP.

The 2008 LTIP may be amended or terminated at any time by the Board of Directors of EPCO or EPGP’s ACG Committee; however, the rules of the NYSE require that any material amendment, such as a significant increase in the number of common units available under the plan or a change in the types of awards available under the plan, would require the approval of our unitholders. The ACG Committee is also authorized to make adjustments in the terms and conditions of, and the criteria included in, awards under the plan in specified circumstances. The 2008 LTIP is effective until the earlier of January 29, 2018 or the time which all available units under the incentive plan have been delivered to participants or the time of termination of the plan by EPCO or EPGP’s ACG Committee.

Unit option awards. The exercise price of unit options awarded to participants is determined by the ACG Committee (at its discretion) at the date of grant and may be no less than the fair market value of our common units at the date of grant. The following table presents unit option activity under the 2008 LTIP for the periods indicated:

(1) Aggregate grant date fair value of these unit options issued during the second quarter of 2008 was $1.6 million based on a grant date market price of our common units of $30.93 per unit and an estimated forfeiture rate of 17.0%.

At June 30, 2008, there was an estimated $1.5 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested unit options granted under the 2008 LTIP. We expect to recognize our share of this cost over a weighted-average period of 3.9 years in accordance with the EPCO administrative services agreement.

Employee Partnerships

EPCO formed the Employee Partnerships to serve as an incentive arrangement for key employees of EPCO by providing them a “profits interest” in the Employee Partnerships. Currently, there are four Employee Partnerships: EPE Unit I, EPE Unit II, EPE Unit III and Enterprise Unit. EPE Unit I was formed in August 2005 in connection with Enterprise GP Holdings’ initial public offering and EPE Unit II was formed in December 2006. EPE Unit III was formed in May 2007 and Enterprise Unit was formed in February 2008. For a detailed description of EPE Unit I, EPE Unit II and EPE Unit III, see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007. See Note 18 regarding amendments to EPE Unit I, EPE Unit II and EPE Unit III, which were effective July 2008.

As of June 30, 2008, there was $26.1 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to the four Employee Partnerships. We will recognize our share of these costs in accordance with the EPCO administrative services agreement over a weighted-average period of 3.7 years.

On February 20, 2008, EPCO formed Enterprise Unit to serve as an incentive arrangement for certain employees of EPCO through a “profits interest” in Enterprise Unit. On that date, EPCO Holdings, Inc. (“EPCO Holdings”) agreed to contribute $18.0 million in the aggregate (the “Initial Contribution”) to Enterprise Unit and was admitted as the Class A limited partner. Certain key employees of EPCO, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, were issued Class B limited partner interests and admitted as Class B limited partners of Enterprise Unit without any capital contributions. EPCO Holdings may make capital contributions to Enterprise Unit in addition to its Initial Contribution. Through July 31, 2008, EPCO Holdings has contributed a total of $51.5 million to Enterprise Unit. EPCO Holdings has no legal obligation to make additional contributions.

As with the awards granted in connection with the other Employee Partnerships, these awards are designed to provide additional long-term incentive compensation for certain employees. The profits interest awards (or Class B limited partner interests) in Enterprise Unit entitle the holder to participate in the appreciation in value of Enterprise GP Holdings’ units and our common units and are subject to early vesting or forfeiture upon the occurrence of certain events.

An allocated portion of the fair value of these equity awards will be charged to us under the EPCO administrative services agreement as a non-cash expense. We will not reimburse EPCO, Enterprise Unit or

any of their affiliates or partners, through the administrative services agreement or otherwise, in cash for any expenses related to Enterprise Unit, including the Initial Contribution by EPCO Holdings.

The Class B limited partner interests in Enterprise Unit that are owned by EPCO employees are subject to forfeiture if the participating employee’s employment with EPCO and its affiliates is terminated prior to February 20, 2014, with customary exceptions for death, disability and certain retirements that will result in early vesting. The risk of forfeiture associated with the Class B limited partner interests in Enterprise Unit will also lapse (i.e. the interests will become vested) upon certain change of control events.

Unless otherwise agreed to by EPCO, EPCO Holdings and a majority in interest of the Class B limited partners of Enterprise Unit, Enterprise Unit will terminate at the earlier of February 20, 2014 (six years from the date of the agreement) or a change in control of us or Enterprise GP Holdings. Enterprise Unit has the following material terms regarding its quarterly cash distribution to partners:

Distributions of cash flow – Each quarter, 100% of the cash distributions received by Enterprise Unit from Enterprise GP Holdings and us will be distributed to the Class A limited partner until EPCO Holdings has received an amount equal to the Class A preferred return (as defined below), and any remaining distributions received by Enterprise Unit will be distributed to the Class B limited partners. The Class A preferred return equals the Class A capital base (as defined below) multiplied by 5.0% per annum. The Class A limited partner’s capital base equals the amount of any contributions of cash or cash equivalents made by the Class A limited partner to Enterprise Unit, plus any unpaid Class A preferred return from prior periods, less any distributions made by Enterprise Unit of proceeds from the sale of units owned by Enterprise Unit (as described below).

Liquidating Distributions – Upon liquidation of Enterprise Unit, units having a fair market value equal to the Class A limited partner capital base will be distributed to EPCO Holdings, plus any accrued and unpaid Class A preferred return for the quarter in which liquidation occurs. Any remaining units will be distributed to the Class B limited partners.

§	Sale Proceeds – If Enterprise Unit sells any units that it beneficially owns, the sale proceeds will be distributed to the Class A limited partner and the Class B limited partners in the same manner as liquidating distributions described above.

DEP GP UARs

The non-employee directors of DEP GP, the general partner of Duncan Energy Partners, have been granted UARs in the form of letter agreements. These liability awards are not part of any established long-term incentive plan of EPCO, Enterprise GP Holdings or us. These UARs entitle each non-employee director to receive a cash payment on the vesting date equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of Enterprise GP Holdings’ units (determined as of a future vesting date) over the grant date fair value. These UARs are accounted for similar to liability awards under SFAS 123(R) since they will be settled with cash. At June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, we had a total of 90,000 outstanding UARs granted to non-employee directors of DEP GP that cliff vest in 2012. If a director resigns prior to vesting, his UAR awards are forfeited.

Note 4. Financial Instruments

We are exposed to financial market risks, including changes in commodity prices, interest rates and foreign exchange rates. We may use financial instruments (i.e., futures, forwards, swaps, options and other financial instruments with similar characteristics) to mitigate the risks of certain identifiable and anticipated transactions. In general, the types of risks we attempt to hedge are those related to (i) the variability of future earnings, (ii) fair values of certain debt instruments and (iii) cash flows resulting from changes in applicable interest rates, commodity prices or exchange rates.

Interest Rate Risk Hedging Program

Our interest rate exposure results from variable and fixed interest rate borrowings under various debt agreements. We manage a portion of our interest rate exposures by utilizing interest rate swaps and similar arrangements, which allow us to convert a portion of fixed rate debt into variable rate debt or a portion of variable rate debt into fixed rate debt.

Fair Value Hedges – Interest Rate Swaps. As summarized in the following table, we had six interest rate swap agreements outstanding at June 30, 2008 that were accounted for as fair value hedges.

	Number	Period Covered	Termination	Fixed to	Notional
Hedged Fixed Rate Debt	of Swaps	by Swap	Date of Swap	Variable Rate (1)	Value
Senior Notes C, 6.375% fixed rate, due Feb. 2013	1	Jan. 2004 to Feb. 2013	Feb. 2013	6.38% to 5.08%	$100.0 million
Senior Notes G, 5.6% fixed rate, due Oct. 2014	5	4th Qtr. 2004 to Oct. 2014	Oct. 2014	5.60% to 3.64%	$500.0 million
(1) The variable rate indicated is the all-in variable rate for the current settlement period.

The aggregate fair value of the six interest rate swaps at June 30, 2008 was an asset of $8.9 million, with an offsetting decrease in the fair value of the underlying debt. There were eleven interest rate swaps outstanding at December 31, 2007 having an aggregate fair value of $14.8 million (an asset). Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 includes a $2.2 million benefit and a $2.3 million loss, respectively, resulting from these interest rate swap agreements. For the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, interest expense reflects a benefit of $1.3 million and a loss of $4.6 million, respectively, from these interest rate swap agreements.

The following table summarizes the termination of our interest rate swaps during 2008 (dollars in millions):

	Notional			Cash
	Value			Gains (1)
Interest rate swap portfolio, December 31, 2007	$	1,050.0		$	--
First quarter of 2008 terminations		(200.0	)		6.3
Second quarter of 2008 terminations		(250.0	)		12.0
Interest rate swap portfolio, June 30, 2008	$	600.0		$	18.3

(1) Cash gains resulting from the termination, or monetization, of interest rate swaps will be amortized to earnings as a reduction to interest expense over the remaining life of the underlying debt.

Cash Flow Hedges – Interest Rate Swaps. Duncan Energy Partners had three floating-to-fixed interest rate swap agreements outstanding at June 30, 2008 that were accounted for as cash flow hedges.

	Number	Period Covered	Termination	Variable to	Notional
Hedged Variable Rate Debt	of Swaps	by Swap	Date of Swap	Fixed Rate (1)	Value
Duncan Energy Partners’ Revolver, due Feb. 2011	3	Sep. 2007 to Sep. 2010	Sep. 2010	2.80% to 4.62%	$175.0 million

(1) Amounts receivable from or payable to the swap counterparties are settled every three months (the “settlement period”).

We recognized losses of $0.9 million and $0.8 million from these swap agreements during the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively. The aggregate fair value of these interest rate swaps at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 was a liability of $4.1 million and $3.8 million, respectively. As cash flow hedges, any increase or decrease in fair value of the financial instrument (to the extent effective) would be recorded as other comprehensive income and amortized into earnings based on the settlement period being hedged. Over the next twelve months, we expect to reclassify $2.4 million of losses to earnings as an increase in interest expense.

Cash Flow Hedges – Treasury Locks. We occasionally use treasury lock financial instruments to hedge the underlying U.S. treasury rates related to our anticipated issuances of debt. Cash gains or losses on the termination, or monetization, of such instruments are amortized to earnings using the effective interest method over the estimated term of the underlying fixed-rate debt. Each of our treasury lock transactions were designated as a cash flow hedge. The following table summarizes changes in our treasury lock portfolio since December 31, 2007 (dollars in millions).

	Notional			Cash
	Value			Losses (1)
Treasury lock portfolio, December 31, 2007	$	600.0		$	--
First quarter of 2008 terminations		(350.0	)		27.7
Second quarter of 2008 terminations		(250.0	)		12.7
Treasury lock portfolio, June 30, 2008	$	--		$	40.4

(1) Cash losses are included in net interest rate financial instrument losses on Unaudited Condensed Statements of Consolidated Comprehensive Income.

We expect to reclassify $2.1 million of cumulative net gains from the monetization of treasury lock financial instruments to earnings (as a decrease in interest expense) over the next twelve months. This includes financial instruments that were settled in years prior to 2008.

Commodity Risk Hedging Program

The prices of natural gas, NGLs and certain petrochemical products are subject to fluctuations in response to changes in supply, market uncertainty and a variety of additional factors that are beyond our control. In order to manage the price risks associated with such products, we may enter into commodity financial instruments.

The primary purpose of our commodity risk management activities is to reduce our exposure to price risks associated with (i) natural gas purchases, (ii) the value of NGL production and inventories, (iii) related firm commitments, (iv) fluctuations in transportation revenues where the underlying fees are based on natural gas index prices and (v) certain anticipated transactions involving either natural gas, NGLs or certain petrochemical products. From time to time, we inject natural gas into storage and may utilize hedging instruments to lock in the value of our inventory positions. The commodity financial instruments we utilize may be settled in cash or with another financial instrument.

We have segregated our commodity financial instruments portfolio between those financial instruments utilized in connection with our natural gas marketing activities and those used in connection with our NGL and petrochemical operations.

Natural gas marketing activities. At June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the aggregate fair value of those financial instruments utilized in connection with our natural gas marketing activities was an asset of $9.6 million and a liability of $0.3 million, respectively. Our natural gas marketing business and its related use of financial instruments has increased significantly since December 31, 2007. We utilize mark-to-market accounting for substantially all of the instruments utilized in connection with our natural gas marketing activities.

The following table presents gains and losses recognized in earnings from this portion of the commodity financial instruments portfolio for the periods indicated (dollars in millions):

Three months ended June 30, 2008	Losses	$	(6.1	)
Three months ended June 30, 2007	Gains	$	0.9
Six months ended June 30, 2008	Losses	$	(5.4	)
Six months ended June 30, 2007	Gains	$	0.5

NGL and petrochemical operations. At June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the aggregate fair value of those financial instruments utilized in connection with our NGL and petrochemical operations was an asset of $82.1 million and a liability of $19.0 million, respectively. The change in fair value between December 31, 2007 and June 30, 2008 is primarily due to an increase in the price of natural gas and volumes hedged . Almost all of the financial instruments within this portion of the commodity financial instruments portfolio are accounted for as cash flow hedges, with a lesser number accounted for using mark-to-market accounting.

The following table presents gains and losses recognized in earnings from this portion of the commodity financial instruments portfolio for the periods indicated (dollars in millions):

Three months ended June 30, 2008	Gains	$	13.4
Three months ended June 30, 2007	Gains	$	0.2
Six months ended June 30, 2008 (1)	Gains	$	8.9
Six months ended June 30, 2007	Losses	$	(1.8	)

(1) Includes ineffectiveness of $2.7 million (a benefit).

The fair value of the NGL and petrochemical portfolio was a liability of $95.4 million as of August 5, 2008. The change in fair value of this portfolio is primarily due to a decrease in natural gas prices. A significant number of the financial instruments in this portfolio hedge the purchase of physical natural gas. If natural gas prices fall below the price stipulated in such financial instruments, we recognize a liability for the difference; however, if prices partially or fully recover, this liability would be reduced or eliminated, as appropriate. Our restricted cash balance increased from none at June 30, 2008 to $191.2 million as of August 5, 2008 in order to meet commodity exchange deposit requirements and the negative change in the fair value of our commodity positions.

Foreign Currency Hedging Program

We are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk primarily through our Canadian NGL marketing subsidiary. As a result, we could be adversely affected by fluctuations in the foreign currency exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the Canadian dollar. We attempt to hedge this risk using foreign exchange purchase contracts to fix the exchange rate. Mark-to-market accounting is utilized for these contracts, which typically have a duration of one month. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, we recorded minimal gains from these financial instruments.

Adoption of SFAS 157 - Fair Value Measurements

On January 1, 2008, we adopted the provisions of SFAS 157 that apply to financial assets and liabilities. We will adopt the provisions of SFAS 157 that apply to nonfinancial assets and liabilities on January 1, 2009. SFAS 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at a specified measurement date.

Our fair value estimates are based on either (i) actual market data or (ii) assumptions that other market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. These assumptions include estimates of risk. Recognized valuation techniques employ inputs such as product prices, operating costs, discount factors and business growth rates. These inputs may be either readily observable, corroborated by market data, or generally unobservable. In developing our estimates of fair value, we endeavor to utilize the best information available and apply market-based data to the extent possible. Accordingly, we utilize valuation techniques (such as the market approach) that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

SFAS 157 established a three-tier hierarchy that classifies fair value amounts recognized or disclosed in the financial statements based on the observability of inputs used to estimate such fair values. The hierarchy considers fair value amounts based on observable inputs (Levels 1 and 2) to be more reliable and predictable than those based primarily on unobservable inputs (Level 3). At each balance sheet reporting date, we categorize our financial assets and liabilities using this hierarchy. The characteristics of fair value amounts classified within each level of the SFAS 157 hierarchy are described as follows:

Level 1 fair values are based on quoted prices, which are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the measurement date. Active markets are defined as those in which transactions for identical assets or liabilities occur in sufficient frequency so as to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis (e.g., the NYSE or New York Mercantile Exchange). Level 1 primarily consists of financial assets and liabilities such as exchange-traded financial instruments, publicly-traded equity securities and U.S. government treasury securities.

Level 2 fair values are based on pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets (as reflected in Level 1 fair values) and are either directly or indirectly observable as of the measurement date. Level 2 fair values include instruments that are valued using financial models or other appropriate valuation methodologies. Such financial models are primarily industry-standard models that consider various assumptions, including quoted forward prices for commodities, time value of money, volatility factors for stocks, and current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, as well as other relevant economic measures. Substantially all of these assumptions are (i) observable in the marketplace throughout the full term of the instrument, (ii) can be derived from observable data or (iii) are validated by inputs other than quoted prices (e.g., interest rate and yield curves at commonly quoted intervals). Level 2 includes non-exchange-traded instruments such as over-the-counter forward contracts, options, and repurchase agreements.

Level 3 fair values are based on unobservable inputs. Unobservable inputs are used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own ideas about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability (including assumptions about risk). Unobservable inputs are based on the best information available in the circumstances, which might include the reporting entity’s internally-developed data. The reporting entity must not ignore information about market participant assumptions that is reasonably available without undue cost and effort. Level 3 inputs are typically used in connection with internally developed valuation methodologies where management makes its best estimate of an instrument’s fair value. Level 3 generally includes specialized or unique financial instruments that are tailored to meet a customer’s specific needs.

The following table sets forth, by level within the fair value hierarchy, our financial assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis at June 30, 2008. These financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment, and may affect the valuation of the fair value assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels. At June 30, 2008 there were no Level 1 financial assets or liabilities.

	Level 2		Level 3		Total
Financial assets:
Commodity financial instruments	$	149,905	$	--	$	149,905

Total	$	53,519	$	4,669	$	58,188

Fair values associated with our interest rate, commodity and foreign currency financial instrument portfolios were developed using available market information and appropriate valuation techniques in accordance with SFAS 157.

The following table sets forth a reconciliation of changes in the fair value of our Level 3 financial assets and liabilities for the periods indicated:

Balance, January 1, 2008	$	(4,660	)
Total gains (losses) included in:
Net income (1)		(2,254	)
Other comprehensive income		2,419
Purchases, issuances, settlements		1,861
Balance, March 31, 2008		(2,634	)
Total gains (losses) included in:
Net income (1)		322
Other comprehensive income		(2,428	)
Purchases, issuances, settlements		71
Ending balance, June 30, 2008	$	(4,669	)

(1) Net income includes commodity financial instrument gains of $0.3 million and losses of $1.9 million, respectively, recorded in revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008. There were no unrealized gains included in such amounts.

Note 5. Inventories

Our inventory amounts were as follows at the dates indicated:

	June 30,		December 31,
	2008		2007
Working inventory (1)	$	435,686	$	342,589
Forward-sales inventory (2)		28,035		11,693
Total inventory	$	463,721	$	354,282

(1) Working inventory is comprised of inventories of natural gas, NGLs and certain petrochemical products that are either available-for-sale or used in the provision for services. (2) Forward sales inventory consists of segregated NGL and natural gas volumes dedicated to the fulfillment of forward-sales contracts.

Our inventory values reflect payments for product purchases, freight charges associated with such purchase volumes, terminal and storage fees, vessel inspection costs, demurrage charges and other related costs. We value our inventories at the lower of average cost or market.

Operating costs and expenses, as presented on our Unaudited Condensed Statements of Consolidated Operations, include cost of sales amounts related to the sale of inventories. Our cost of sales amounts were $5.51 billion and $3.58 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, our cost of sales were $10.41 billion and $6.36 billion, respectively.

Due to fluctuating commodity prices in the NGL, natural gas and petrochemical industry, we recognize lower of cost or market (“LCM”) adjustments when the carrying value of our inventories exceed their net realizable value. These non-cash charges are a component of cost of sales in the period they are recognized. For the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, we recognized LCM adjustments of approximately $0.7 million and $2.1 million, respectively. We recognized LCM adjustments of $4.8 million and $13.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Note 6. Property, Plant and Equipment

Our property, plant and equipment values and related accumulated depreciation balances were as follows at the dates indicated:

	Estimated
	Useful Life		June 30,		December 31,
	in Years		2008		2007
Plants and pipelines (1)		3-35 (5)	$	11,703,858	$	10,884,819
Underground and other storage facilities (2)		5-35 (6)		730,391		720,795
Platforms and facilities (3)		20-31		634,820		637,812
Transportation equipment (4)		3-10		32,981		32,627
Land				50,305		48,172
Construction in progress				1,388,484		1,173,988
Total				14,540,839		13,498,213
Less accumulated depreciation				2,133,833		1,910,949
Property, plant and equipment, net			$	12,407,006	$	11,587,264

(1) Plants and pipelines include processing plants; NGL, petrochemical, oil and natural gas pipelines; terminal loading and unloading facilities; office furniture and equipment; buildings; laboratory and shop equipment; and related assets. (2) Underground and other storage facilities include underground product storage caverns; storage tanks; water wells; and related assets. (3) Platforms and facilities include offshore platforms and related facilities and other associated assets. (4) Transportation equipment includes vehicles and similar assets used in our operations. (5) In general, the estimated useful lives of major components of this category are as follows: processing plants, 20-35 years; pipelines, 18-35 years (with some equipment at 5 years); terminal facilities, 10-35 years; office furniture and equipment, 3-20 years; buildings, 20-35 years; and laboratory and shop equipment, 5-35 years. (6) In general, the estimated useful lives of major components of this category are as follows: underground storage facilities, 20-35 years (with some components at 5 years); storage tanks, 10-35 years; and water wells, 25-35 years (with some components at 5 years).

The following table summarizes our depreciation expense and capitalized interest amounts for the periods indicated:

	For the Three Months				For the Six Months
	Ended June 30,				Ended June 30,
	2008		2007		2008		2007
Depreciation expense (1)	$	113,972	$	99,086	$	223,815	$	194,066
Capitalized interest (2)	$	17,623	$	20,397	$	35,735	$	41,139

(1) Depreciation expense is a component of costs and expenses as presented in our Unaudited Condensed Statements of Consolidated Operations. (2) Capitalized interest increases the carrying value of the associated asset and reduces interest expense during the period it is recorded.

We reviewed assumptions underlying the estimated remaining useful lives of certain of our assets during the first quarter of 2008. As a result of our review, effective January 1, 2008, we revised the remaining useful lives of these assets, most notably the assets that constitute our Texas Intrastate System. This revision increased the remaining useful life of such assets to incorporate recent data showing that proved natural gas reserves supporting throughput and processing volumes for these assets have changed since our original determination made in September 2004. These revisions will prospectively reduce our depreciation expense on assets having carrying values totaling $2.72 billion as of January 1, 2008. On average, we extended the life of these assets by 3.1 years. As a result of this change in estimate, depreciation expense included in operating income and net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 decreased by approximately $5.0 million and $10.0 million, respectively, which increased our earnings per unit by $0.01 and $0.02, respectively, from what it would have been absent the change.

Asset retirement obligations

Asset retirement obligations (“AROs”) are legal obligations associated with the retirement of a tangible long-lived asset that results from its acquisition, construction, development or normal operation or a combination of these factors. The following table summarizes amounts recognized in connection with AROs since December 31, 2007:

ARO liability balance, December 31, 2007	$	40,614
Liabilities incurred		384
Liabilities settled		(5,473	)
Revisions in estimated cash flows		2,308
Accretion expense		1,169
ARO liability balance, June 30, 2008	$	39,002

Property, plant and equipment at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 includes $9.4 million and $10.6 million, respectively, of asset retirement costs capitalized as an increase in the associated long-lived asset.

(1) During the second quarter of 2008 we acquired a 50% ownership interest in White River Hub. (2) Refers to our ownership interests in Evangeline Gas Pipeline Company, L.P. and Evangeline Gas Corp., collectively. (3) Refers to our ownership interests in La Porte Pipeline Company, L.P. and La Porte GP, LLC, collectively.

On occasion, the price we pay to acquire a non-controlling ownership interest in a company exceeds the underlying book value of the net assets we acquire. Such excess cost amounts are included within the carrying values of our investments in and advances to unconsolidated affiliates. At June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, our investments in Promix, La Porte, Neptune, Poseidon, Cameron Highway and Jonah included excess cost amounts totaling $44.4 million and $43.8 million, respectively. These amounts are attributable to the excess of the fair value of each entity’s tangible assets over their respective

book carrying values at the time we acquired an interest in each entity. Amortization of such excess cost amounts was $0.5 million during each of the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007. For each of the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, amortization of such amounts was $1.0 million.

Enterprise Products Partners L.P. acts as guarantor of the consolidated debt obligations of EPO with the exception of Dixie’s revolving credit facility and Duncan Energy Partners’ revolving credit facility. If EPO were to default on any of its guaranteed debt, Enterprise Products Partners L.P. would be responsible for full repayment of that obligation.

We consolidate the debt of Dixie and Duncan Energy Partners; however, we do not have the obligation to make interest or debt payments with respect to such obligations.

With respect to debt agreements existing at December 31, 2007, there have been no significant changes in the terms of our consolidated debt obligations since December 31, 2007.

Senior Notes M and N. In April 2008, EPO sold $400.0 million in principal amount of 5-year senior unsecured notes (“Senior Notes M”) and $700.0 million in principal amount of 10-year senior unsecured notes (“Senior Notes N”) under its universal registration statement. Senior Notes M were issued at 99.906% of their principal amount, have a fixed interest rate of 5.65% and mature in April 2013. Senior Notes N were issued at 99.866% of their principal amount, have a fixed interest rate of 6.50% and mature in January 2019.

Senior Notes M pay interest semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year, beginning October 1, 2008. Senior Notes N pay interest semi-annually in arrears on January 31 and July 31

of each year, with the first payment made on July 31, 2008. Net proceeds from the issuance of Senior Notes M and N were used to temporarily reduce indebtedness outstanding under the EPO Revolver.

Senior Notes M and N rank equal with EPO’s existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. They are senior to any existing and future subordinated indebtedness of EPO. Senior Notes M and N are subject to make-whole redemption rights and were issued under indentures containing certain covenants, which generally restrict EPO’s ability, with certain exceptions, to incur debt secured by liens and engage in sale and leaseback transactions.

Covenants

We are in compliance with the covenants of our consolidated debt agreements at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007.

The credit agreements of our unconsolidated affiliates contain various affirmative and negative covenants, including financial covenants. These businesses were in compliance with such covenants at June 30, 2008. The credit agreements of our unconsolidated affiliates restrict their ability to pay cash

dividends if a default or an event of default (as defined in each credit agreement) has occurred and is continuing at the time such dividend is scheduled to be paid.

There have been no significant changes in the terms of the debt obligations of our unconsolidated affiliates since those reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.

Note 10. Partners’ Equity and Distributions

Our common units represent limited partner interests, which give the holders thereof the right to participate in distributions and to exercise the other rights or privileges available to them under our Fifth Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership (together with all amendments thereto, the “Partnership Agreement”). We are managed by our general partner, EPGP.

In accordance with the Partnership Agreement, capital accounts are maintained for our general partner and limited partners. The capital account provisions of our Partnership Agreement incorporate principles established for U.S. Federal income tax purposes and are not comparable to the equity accounts reflected under GAAP in our consolidated financial statements.

Our Partnership Agreement sets forth the calculation to be used in determining the amount and priority of cash distributions that our limited partners and general partner will receive. The Partnership Agreement also contains provisions for the allocation of net earnings and losses to our limited partners and general partner. For purposes of maintaining partner capital accounts, the Partnership Agreement specifies that items of income and loss shall be allocated among the partners in accordance with their respective percentage interests. Normal income and loss allocations according to percentage interests are done only after giving effect to priority earnings allocations in an amount equal to incentive cash distributions allocated to our general partner.

Equity Offerings and Registration Statements

In general, the Partnership Agreement authorizes us to issue an unlimited number of additional limited partner interests and other equity securities for such consideration and on such terms and conditions as may be established by EPGP in its sole discretion (subject, under certain circumstances, to the approval of our unitholders).

We have a universal shelf registration statement on file with the SEC registering the issuance of an unlimited amount of equity and debt securities. In April 2008, EPO sold $1.10 billion in principal amount of senior notes under our universal shelf registration statement. For additional information regarding this debt offering, see Note 9.

We also have on file with the SEC a registration statement authorizing the issuance of up to 25,000,000 common units in connection with our distribution reinvestment plan (“DRIP”). The DRIP provides unitholders of record and beneficial owners of our common units a voluntary means by which they can increase the number of common units they own by reinvesting the quarterly cash distributions they would otherwise receive into the purchase of additional common units of our partnership. An aggregate of 1,219,560 of our common units were issued in connection with the DRIP and the employee unit purchase plan (“EUPP”) during the six months ended June 30, 2008. The issuance of these units generated $37.4 million in net proceeds that we used for general partnership purposes.

The following table reflects the number of common units issued and the net proceeds received from other common unit offerings completed during the six months ended June 30, 2008:

	Net Proceeds from Sale of Common Units
	Number of		Contributed		Contributed by		Total

In May 2008, 67,500 restricted unit awards vested and were converted to common units. Of this amount, 21,413 were sold back to us by employees to cover related withholding tax requirements. The total cost of these treasury units was approximately $650 thousand, of which $637 thousand was allocated to limited partners and the remainder to our general partner. Immediately upon acquisition, we cancelled such treasury units.

Distributions to Partners

The percentage interest of EPGP in our quarterly cash distributions is increased after certain specified target levels of quarterly distribution rates are met. At current distribution rates, we are in the highest tier of such incentive targets. EPGP’s quarterly incentive distribution thresholds are as follows:

§	2% of quarterly cash distributions up to $0.253 per unit;

§	15% of quarterly cash distributions from $0.253 per unit up to $0.3085 per unit; and

§	25% of quarterly cash distributions that exceed $0.3085 per unit.

We paid incentive distributions of $30.9 million and $26.3 million to EPGP during the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, we paid incentive distributions of $60.8 million and $51.6 million, respectively, to EPGP.

We paid aggregate distributions to our unitholders and general partner of $509.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2008. These distributions pertained to the six month period ended March 31, 2008 (i.e., the fourth quarter of 2007 and first quarter of 2008). On August 7, 2008, we paid a quarterly cash distribution of $0.515 per unit with respect to the second quarter of 2008, to unitholders of record at the close of business on July 31, 2008.

Note 11. Business Segments

We have four reportable business segments: NGL Pipelines & Services, Onshore Natural Gas Pipelines & Services, Offshore Pipelines & Services and Petrochemical Services. Our business segments are generally organized and managed according to the type of services rendered (or technologies employed) and products produced and/or sold.

We evaluate segment performance based on the non-GAAP financial measure of gross operating margin. Gross operating margin (either in total or by individual segment) is an important performance measure of the core profitability of our operations. This measure forms the basis of our internal financial reporting and is used by senior management in deciding how to allocate capital resources among business segments. We believe that investors benefit from having access to the same financial measures that our management uses in evaluating segment results. The GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to total segment gross operating margin is operating income. Our non-GAAP financial measure of total segment gross operating margin should not be considered an alternative to GAAP operating income.

We define total segment gross operating margin as consolidated operating income before: (i) depreciation, amortization and accretion expense; (ii) operating lease expenses for which we do not have the payment obligation; (iii) gains and losses on the sale of assets; and (iv) general and administrative costs.

Gross operating margin is exclusive of other income and expense transactions, provision for income taxes, minority interest, extraordinary charges and the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principle. Gross operating margin by segment is calculated by subtracting segment operating costs and expenses (net of the adjustments noted above) from segment revenues, with both segment totals before the elimination of intersegment and intrasegment transactions.

Segment revenues include intersegment and intrasegment transactions, which are generally based on transactions made at market-related rates. Our consolidated revenues reflect the elimination of intercompany (both intersegment and intrasegment) transactions.

We include equity earnings from unconsolidated affiliates in our measurement of segment gross operating margin and operating income. Our equity investments with industry partners are a vital component of our business strategy. They are a means by which we conduct our operations to align our interests with those of our customers and/or suppliers. This method of operation enables us to achieve favorable economies of scale relative to the level of investment and business risk assumed versus what we could accomplish on a stand-alone basis. Many of these businesses perform supporting or complementary roles to our other business operations.

Our integrated midstream energy asset system (including the midstream energy assets of our equity method investees) provides services to producers and consumers of natural gas, NGLs, crude oil and certain petrochemicals. In general, hydrocarbons enter our asset system in a number of ways, such as an offshore natural gas or crude oil pipeline, an offshore platform, a natural gas processing plant, an onshore natural gas gathering pipeline, an NGL fractionator, an NGL storage facility, or an NGL transportation or distribution pipeline.

Many of our equity investees are included within our integrated midstream asset system. For example, we have ownership interests in several offshore natural gas and crude oil pipelines. Other examples include our use of the Promix NGL fractionator to process mixed NGLs extracted by our gas plants. The fractionated NGLs we receive from Promix can then be sold in our NGL marketing activities. Given the integral nature of our equity method investees to our operations, we believe the presentation of earnings from such investees as a component of gross operating margin and operating income is meaningful and appropriate.

Historically, substantially all of our consolidated revenues were earned in the United States and derived from a wide customer base. The majority of our plant-based operations are located in Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico, Colorado and Wyoming. Our natural gas, NGL and crude oil pipelines are located in a number of regions of the United States including (i) the Gulf of Mexico offshore Texas and Louisiana; (ii) the south and southeastern United States (primarily in Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama); and (iii) certain regions of the central and western United States, including the Rocky Mountains. Our marketing activities are headquartered in Houston, Texas and serve customers in a number of regions of the United States including the Gulf Coast, West Coast and Mid-Continent areas.

Consolidated property, plant and equipment and investments in and advances to unconsolidated affiliates are assigned to each segment on the basis of each asset’s or investment’s principal operations. The principal reconciling difference between consolidated property, plant and equipment and the total value of segment assets is construction-in-progress. Segment assets represent the net book carrying value of facilities and other assets that contribute to gross operating margin of that particular segment. Since assets under construction generally do not contribute to segment gross operating margin, such assets are excluded from segment asset totals until they are placed in service. Consolidated intangible assets and goodwill are assigned to each segment based on the classification of the assets to which they relate.

We consolidate the financial statements of Duncan Energy Partners with those of our own. As a result, our consolidated gross operating margin amounts include 100% of the gross operating margin amounts of Duncan Energy Partners.

The following table presents our measurement of total segment gross operating margin for the periods indicated:

We believe that the terms and provisions of our related party agreements are fair to us; however, such agreements and transactions may not be as favorable to us as we could have obtained from unaffiliated third parties.

Relationship with EPCO and affiliates

We have an extensive and ongoing relationship with EPCO and its affiliates, which include the following significant entities that are not part of our consolidated group of companies:

§	EPCO and its private company subsidiaries;

§	EPGP, our sole general partner;

§	Enterprise GP Holdings, which owns and controls our general partner;

§	TEPPCO, which is owned and controlled by Enterprise GP Holdings; and

§	the Employee Partnerships (see Note 3).

We also have an ongoing relationship with Duncan Energy Partners, the financial statements of which are consolidated with those of our own. Our transactions with Duncan Energy Partners are eliminated in consolidation. A description of our relationship with Duncan Energy Partners is presented within this Note 12.

EPCO is a private company controlled by Dan L. Duncan, who is also a Director and Chairman of EPGP, our general partner. At June 30, 2008, EPCO and its affiliates beneficially owned 149,167,842 (or 34.1%) of our outstanding common units, which include 13,454,498 of our common units owned by Enterprise GP Holdings. In addition, at June 30, 2008, EPCO and its affiliates beneficially owned 77.6% of the limited partner interests of Enterprise GP Holdings and 100% of its general partner, EPE Holdings. Enterprise GP Holdings owns all of the membership interests of EPGP. The principal business activity of EPGP is to act as our managing partner. The executive officers and certain of the directors of EPGP and EPE Holdings are employees of EPCO.

As our general partner, EPGP received cash distributions of $69.7 million and $59.9 million from us during the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. These amounts include incentive distributions of $60.8 million and $51.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

We and EPGP are both separate legal entities apart from each other and apart from EPCO, Enterprise GP Holdings and their respective other affiliates, with assets and liabilities that are separate from those of EPCO, Enterprise GP Holdings and their respective other affiliates. EPCO and its private company subsidiaries depend on the cash distributions they receive from us, Enterprise GP Holdings and other investments to fund their other operations and to meet their debt obligations. EPCO and its private company affiliates received $197.5 million and $168.1 million in cash distributions from us during the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

The ownership interests in us that are owned or controlled by Enterprise GP Holdings are pledged as security under its credit facility. In addition, substantially all of the ownership interests in us that are owned or controlled by EPCO and its affiliates, other than those interests owned by Enterprise GP Holdings, Dan Duncan LLC and certain trusts affiliated with Dan L. Duncan, are pledged as security under the credit facility of a private company affiliate of EPCO. This credit facility contains customary and other events of default relating to EPCO and certain affiliates, including Enterprise GP Holdings, TEPPCO and us.

We have entered into an agreement with an affiliate of EPCO to provide trucking services to us for the transportation of NGLs and other products. We also lease office space in various buildings from affiliates of EPCO. The rental rates in these lease agreements approximate market rates.

EPCO Administrative Services Agreement

We have no employees. All of our operating functions and general and administrative support services are provided by employees of EPCO pursuant to an administrative services agreement (the “ASA”). We, Duncan Energy Partners, Enterprise GP Holdings, TEPPCO and our respective general partners are parties to the ASA. The ACG Committees of each general partner have approved the ASA.

Under the ASA, we reimburse EPCO for all costs and expenses it incurs in providing management, administrative and operating services for us, including compensation of employees (i.e., salaries, medical benefits and retirement benefits). The ASA also addresses potential conflicts in business opportunities that may arise among us, Enterprise GP Holdings, Duncan Energy Partners and other affiliates of EPCO.

Relationship with TEPPCO

TEPPCO became a related party to us in February 2005 when its general partner was acquired by private company affiliates of EPCO. Our relationship with TEPPCO was further reinforced by the acquisition of TEPPCO’s general partner by Enterprise GP Holdings in May 2007. Enterprise GP Holdings also owns our general partner.

We received $26.3 million and $21.6 million from TEPPCO during the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, from the sale of hydrocarbon products. We received $44.7 million and $30.1 million from TEPPCO during the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, from the sale of hydrocarbon products. We paid TEPPCO $4.6 million and $2.8 million for NGL pipeline transportation and storage services during the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. We paid TEPPCO $16.0 million and $9.3 million for NGL pipeline transportation and storage services during the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

In August 2006, we formed a joint venture with TEPPCO involving Jonah, which owns the Jonah Gas Gathering System located in the Greater Green River Basin of southwestern Wyoming. The Jonah Gas Gathering System gathers and transports natural gas produced from the Jonah and Pinedale fields to

regional natural gas processing plants and major interstate pipelines that deliver natural gas to end-user markets. Currently, the gathering capacity of this system is 2.4 billion cubic feet per day (“Bcf/d”). We own an approximate 19.4% interest in Jonah and TEPPCO owns the remaining 80.6% interest. We account for our investment in the Jonah joint venture using the equity method of accounting.

During the first quarter of 2008, Jonah initiated a separate project to increase gathering capacity on that portion of its system that serves the Pinedale production field. This new project is expected to increase overall capacity of the Jonah Gas Gathering System by an additional 0.2 Bcf/d. The total anticipated cost of this new project is $125.0 million, of which we will be responsible for our share of the construction costs.

Relationship with Duncan Energy Partners

On February 5, 2007, Duncan Energy Partners completed its initial public offering of 14,950,000 common units. At June 30, 2008, Enterprise Products Partners beneficially owned 5,351,571 of Duncan Energy Partners’ common units. We also own the 2% general partner interest in Duncan Energy Partners. EPO directs the business operations of Duncan Energy Partners through its ownership and control of the general partner of Duncan Energy Partners. For financial reporting purposes, we consolidate the financial statements of Duncan Energy Partners with those of our own.

As a result of contributions EPO made at the time of Duncan Energy Partners’ initial public offering in February 2007, Duncan Energy Partners owns 66% of the equity interests in the following entities and EPO owns the remaining 34% of the equity interests:

§	Mont Belvieu Caverns, LLC (“Mont Belvieu Caverns”),

§	Acadian Gas, LLC (“Acadian Gas”),

§	Sabine Propylene Pipeline L.P. (“Sabine Propylene”),

§	Enterprise Lou-Tex Propylene Pipeline L.P. (“Lou-Tex Propylene”), and

§	South Texas NGL Pipelines, LLC (“South Texas NGL”).

We have significant involvement with all of the subsidiaries of Duncan Energy Partners, including the following types of transactions:

§	We utilize storage services provided by Mont Belvieu Caverns to support our Mont Belvieu fractionation and other businesses;

§	We buy natural gas from and sell natural gas to Acadian Gas in connection with its and our normal business activities; and

§	We are currently the sole shipper on the DEP South Texas NGL Pipeline System.

EPO may contribute or sell other equity interests in its subsidiaries, or other of its or its subsidiaries’ assets, to Duncan Energy Partners. EPO has no obligation or commitment to make such contributions or sales to Duncan Energy Partners.

Effective February 1, 2007, EPO is allocated all operational measurement gains and losses relating to Mont Belvieu Caverns’ underground storage activities. Operational measurement gains and losses are created when product is moved between storage wells and are attributable to pipeline and well connection measurement variances. As a result, EPO is required each period to contribute cash to Mont Belvieu Caverns for net operational measurement losses and is entitled to receive distributions from Mont Belvieu Caverns for net operational measurement gains. Mont Belvieu Caverns recorded operational measurement losses of $5.7 million and $4.9 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively.

For the three and five months ended June 30, 2007, Mont Belvieu Caverns recorded operational measurement gains of $2.8 million and $4.1 million, respectively. Operational measurement gains and losses are a component of gross operating margin for the NGL Pipelines & Services business segment; however, the related cash distributions from and contributions to Mont Belvieu Caverns are eliminated in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

Omnibus Agreement. In February 2007, EPO entered into an Omnibus Agreement with Duncan Energy Partners that governs the following matters:

§	indemnification by EPO of certain environmental liabilities, tax liabilities and right-of-way defects with respect to assets EPO contributed to Duncan Energy Partners in February 2007;

§	reimbursement by EPO of certain capital expenditures incurred by South Texas NGL and Mont Belvieu Caverns with respect to projects under construction at the time of Duncan Energy Partners’ initial public offering;

§	a right of first refusal to EPO in Duncan Energy Partners’ current and future subsidiaries and a right of first refusal on the material assets of such subsidiaries, other than sales of inventory and other assets in the ordinary course of business; and

§	a preemptive right with respect to equity securities issued by certain of Duncan Energy Partners’ subsidiaries, other than as consideration in an acquisition or in connection with a loan or debt financing.

Neither EPO nor any of its affiliates are restricted under the Omnibus Agreement from competing against Duncan Energy Partners. As provided for in the EPCO administrative services agreement, EPO and its affiliates may acquire, construct or dispose of additional midstream energy or other assets in the future without any obligation to offer Duncan Energy Partners the opportunity to acquire or construct such assets.

As noted previously, EPO indemnified Duncan Energy Partners for certain environmental liabilities, tax liabilities and right-of-way defects associated with the assets EPO contributed to Duncan Energy Partners in February 2007. These indemnifications terminate on February 5, 2010. There is an aggregate cap of $15.0 million on the amount of indemnity coverage and Duncan Energy Partners is not entitled to indemnification until the aggregate amount of claims it incurs exceeds $250 thousand. Environmental liabilities resulting from a change of law after February 5, 2007 are excluded from the indemnity. Duncan Energy Partners made no claims to EPO during the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 in connection with these indemnity provisions.

Under the Omnibus Agreement, EPO agreed to make additional cash contributions to South Texas NGL and Mont Belvieu Caverns to fund 100% of project costs in excess of (i) the $28.6 million of estimated costs to complete the Phase II expansion of the DEP South Texas NGL Pipeline System and (ii) the $14.1 million of estimated costs for additional Mont Belvieu brine production capacity and above-ground storage reservoir projects. These projects were in progress at the time of Duncan Energy Partners’ initial public offering. EPO made cash contributions of $36.7 million under the Omnibus Agreement to the subsidiaries of Duncan Energy Partners during the six months ended June 30, 2008. Of this amount, $36.6 million was contributed to South Texas NGL to fund costs of its Phase II pipeline project. We expect EPO to make contributions of approximately $6.7 million during the remainder of 2008 in satisfaction of its project funding obligations under the Omnibus Agreement.

EPO will not receive an increased allocation of earnings or cash flows as a result of these contributions to South Texas NGL and Mont Belvieu Caverns. EPO’s payments under the Omnibus Agreement are accounted for as additional investments by EPO in the underlying companies and are subsequently eliminated in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

Mont Belvieu Caverns’ LLC Agreement. The Mont Belvieu Caverns’ LLC Agreement (the “Caverns LLC Agreement”) states that if Duncan Energy Partners elects to not participate in certain

projects of Mont Belvieu Caverns, then EPO is responsible for funding 100% of such projects. To the extent such non-participated projects generate identifiable incremental earnings for Mont Belvieu Caverns in the future, the earnings and cash flows of Mont Belvieu Caverns will be adjusted to allocate such incremental amounts to EPO by special allocation or otherwise. Under the terms of the Caverns LLC Agreement, Duncan Energy Partners may elect to acquire a 66% share of these projects from EPO within 90 days of such projects being placed in-service.

EPO made cash contributions of $68.1 million under the Caverns LLC Agreement during the six months ended June 30, 2008. These expenditures are associated with storage-related projects sponsored by EPO’s NGL marketing activities and represent 100% of the costs of such projects to date. EPO expects that its NGL marketing activities will benefit from these projects. At present, Mont Belvieu Caverns is not expected to generate any identifiable incremental earnings in connection with these projects; thus, the sharing ratio for Mont Belvieu Caverns is not expected to change from the current ratio of 66% for Duncan Energy Partners and 34% for EPO. We expect EPO to make $23.8 million of contributions to Mont Belvieu Caverns in connection with these construction projects during the remainder of 2008. The constructed assets are the property of Mont Belvieu Caverns.

EPO’s payments under the Caverns LLC Agreement are accounted for as additional investments by EPO in Mont Belvieu Caverns and are subsequently eliminated in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

Relationship with Energy Transfer Equity

Enterprise GP Holdings acquired equity method investments in Energy Transfer Equity and its general partner in May 2007. As a result, Energy Transfer Equity and its consolidated subsidiaries became related parties to our consolidated businesses.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, we recorded $90.3 million and $313.4 million of revenues, respectively, from Energy Transfer Partners, L.P. (“ETP”), primarily from NGL marketing activities. For the two months ended June 30, 2007, we recorded $42.6 million of revenues from ETP. We incurred $29.1 million and $77.9 million in operating costs and expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, that were paid to ETP. For the two months ended June 30, 2007, we incurred $5.8 million in operating costs and expenses. We have a long-term revenue generating contract with Titan Energy Partners, L.P. (“Titan”), a consolidated subsidiary of ETP. Titan purchases substantially all of its propane requirements from us. We and Energy Transfer Company (“ETC OLP”) transport natural gas on each other’s systems and share operating expenses on certain pipelines. ETC OLP also sells natural gas to us.

Relationships with Unconsolidated Affiliates

Our significant related party revenue and expense transactions with unconsolidated affiliates consist of the sale of natural gas to Evangeline and the purchase of NGL storage, transportation and fractionation services from Promix. In addition, we sell natural gas to Promix and process natural gas at VESCO. For additional information regarding our unconsolidated affiliates, see Note 7.

See “Relationship with TEPPCO” within this Note 12 for a description of ongoing transactions involving our Jonah joint venture with TEPPCO.

Note 13. Earnings Per Unit

Basic earnings per unit is computed by dividing net income or loss allocated to limited partner interests by the weighted-average number of distribution-bearing units outstanding during a period. Diluted earnings per unit is computed by dividing net income or loss allocated to limited partner interests by the sum of (i) the weighted-average number of distribution-bearing units outstanding during a period (as used in determining basic earnings per unit); (ii) the weighted-average number of performance-based phantom units outstanding during a period; and (iii) the number of incremental common units resulting from the assumed exercise of dilutive unit options outstanding during a period (the “incremental option units”).

In a period of net losses, restricted units, phantom units and incremental option units are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per unit due to their antidilutive effect. The dilutive incremental option units are calculated using the treasury stock method, which assumes that proceeds from the exercise of all in-the-money options at the end of each period are used to repurchase common units at an average market value during the period. The amount of common units remaining after the proceeds are exhausted represents the potentially dilutive effect of the securities.

The amount of net income or loss allocated to limited partner interests is net of our general partner’s share of such earnings. The following table presents the allocation of net income to EPGP for the periods indicated:

	For the Three Months						For the Six Months
	Ended June 30,						Ended June 30,
	2008			2007			2008			2007

Net income	$	263,270		$	142,154		$	522,879		$	254,199

Additional earnings allocation to EPGP (1)		1,443			--			3,173			--
Net income available to EPGP	$	37,006		$	28,627		$	73,183		$	55,623

(1) For purposes of computing basic and diluted earnings per unit in periods when our aggregate net income exceeds the aggregate distributions for such periods, an increased amount of earnings is allocated to EPGP in applying Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 03-6, “Participating Securities and the Two-Class Method under FASB Statement No. 128” (“EITF 03-6”). Historically, our distributions to owners have exceeded earnings and as a result EITF 03-6 had no effect on our earnings per unit calculations.

The following table presents our calculation of basic and diluted earnings per unit for the periods indicated:

	For the Three Months						For the Six Months
	Ended June 30,						Ended June 30,
	2008			2007			2008			2007

Note 14. Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

On occasion, we or our unconsolidated affiliates are named as a defendant in litigation relating to our normal business activities, including regulatory and environmental matters. Although we are insured against various business risks to the extent we believe it is prudent, there is no assurance that the nature and amount of such insurance will be adequate, in every case, to indemnify us against liabilities arising from future legal proceedings as a result of our ordinary business activities. We are unaware of any significant litigation, pending or threatened, that could have a significant adverse effect on our financial position, cash flows or results of operations.

On September 18, 2006, Peter Brinckerhoff, a purported unitholder of TEPPCO, filed a complaint in the Court of Chancery of New Castle County in the State of Delaware, in his individual capacity, as a putative class action on behalf of other unitholders of TEPPCO, and derivatively on behalf of TEPPCO, concerning, among other things, certain transactions involving TEPPCO and us or our affiliates. Mr. Brinkerhoff filed an amended complaint on July 12, 2007. The complaint names as defendants (i) TEPPCO, certain of its current and former directors, and certain of its affiliates; (ii) us and certain of our affiliates; (iii) EPCO, Inc.; and (iv) Dan L. Duncan.

The amended complaint alleges, among other things, that the defendants caused TEPPCO to enter into certain transactions that were unfair to TEPPCO or otherwise unfairly favored Enterprise Products Partners or its affiliates over TEPPCO. These transactions are alleged to include: (i) the joint venture to further expand the Jonah system entered into by TEPPCO and Enterprise Products Partners in August 2006; (ii) the sale by TEPPCO of its Pioneer natural gas processing plant to Enterprise Products Partners in March 2006; and (iii) certain amendments to TEPPCO’s partnership agreement, including a reduction in the maximum tier of TEPPCO’s incentive distribution rights in exchange for TEPPCO common units. The amended complaint seeks (i) rescission of the amendments to TEPPCO’s partnership agreement; (ii) damages for profits and special benefits allegedly obtained by defendants as a result of the alleged wrongdoings in the amended complaint; and (iii) awarding plaintiff costs of the action, including fees and expenses of his attorneys and experts. We believe this lawsuit is without merit and intend to vigorously defend against it. See Note 12 for additional information regarding our relationship with TEPPCO.

On February 14, 2007, EPO received a letter from the Environment and Natural Resources Division (“ENRD”) of the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) related to an ammonia release in Kingman County, Kansas on October 27, 2004 from a pressurized anhydrous ammonia pipeline owned by a third party, Magellan Ammonia Pipeline, L.P. (“Magellan”) and a previous release of ammonia on September 27, 2004 from the same pipeline. EPO was the operator of this pipeline until July 1, 2008. The ENRD has indicated that it may pursue civil damages against EPO and Magellan as a result of these incidents. Based on this correspondence from the ENRD, the statutory maximum amount of civil fines that could be assessed against EPO and Magellan is up to $17.4 million in the aggregate. EPO is cooperating with the DOJ and is hopeful that an expeditious resolution of this civil matter acceptable to all parties will be reached in the near future. Magellan has agreed to indemnify EPO for the civil matter. At this time, we do not believe that a final resolution of the civil claims by the ENRD will have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, cash flows or results of operations.

On October 25, 2006, a rupture in the Magellan Ammonia Pipeline resulted in the release of ammonia near Clay Center, Kansas. The pipeline has been repaired and environmental remediation tasks related to this incident have been completed. At this time, we do not believe that this incident will have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Several lawsuits have been filed by municipalities and other water suppliers against a number of manufacturers of reformulated gasoline containing methyl tertiary butyl ether. In general, such suits have not named manufacturers of this product as defendants, and there have been no such lawsuits filed against our subsidiary that owns an octane-additive production facility. It is possible, however, that former manufacturers such as our subsidiary could ultimately be added as defendants in such lawsuits or in new lawsuits.

The Attorney General of Colorado on behalf of the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment filed suit against us and others on April 15, 2008 in connection with the construction of a pipeline near Parachute, Colorado. The State sought a temporary restraining order and an injunction to halt construction activities since it alleged that the defendants failed to install measures to minimize damage to the environment and to follow requirements for the pipeline’s stormwater permit and appropriate stormwater plan. The State’s complaint also seeks penalties for the above alleged failures. Defendants and the State agreed to certain stipulations that, among other things, require us to install specified environmental protection measures in the disturbed pipeline right-of-way to comply with regulations. We have complied with the stipulations and the State has dismissed the portions of the complaint seeking the temporary restraining order and injunction. The State has not yet assessed penalties and we are unable to predict the amount of penalties that may be assessed. At this time, we do not believe that this incident will have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Contractual Obligations

Operating Lease Obligations. We lease certain property, plant and equipment under noncancelable and cancelable operating leases. Our significant lease agreements involve (i) the lease of underground caverns for the storage of natural gas and NGLs, (ii) leased office space with affiliates of EPCO, (iii) a railcar unloading terminal in Mont Belvieu, Texas and (iv) land held pursuant to right-of-way agreements. In general, our material lease agreements have original terms that range from two to 28 years and include renewal options that could extend the agreements for up to an additional 20 years. Lease expense is charged to operating costs and expenses on a straight line basis over the period of expected economic benefit. Contingent rental payments are expensed as incurred.

Lease and rental expense included in operating costs and expenses was $9.4 million and $11.8 million during the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, lease and rental expense included in operating costs and expenses was $18.4 million and $19.9 million, respectively. There have been no material changes in our operating lease commitments since December 31, 2007.

Scheduled Maturities of Long-Term Debt. With the exception of the issuance of Senior Notes M and N by EPO in April 2008 and routine fluctuations in the balance of our consolidated revolving credit facilities, there have been no significant changes in our consolidated scheduled maturities of long-term debt since those reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007. See Note 9 for additional information regarding the issuance of senior notes by EPO.

Purchase Obligations. There have been no material changes in our consolidated purchase obligations since December 31, 2007, except for commitments associated with a long-term natural gas purchase agreement executed in May 2008 in connection with our natural gas marketing activities. Under this agreement, we will purchase 30,000 MMbtus of natural gas per day extending through March 2013, at market-related prices at the time we take delivery of the volumes. Our estimated future payment obligations under this agreement (based on market prices at June 30, 2008 applied to all future volume commitments) are $68.3 million in 2008, $135.5 million in each of the years 2009 through 2011, $135.8 million in 2012 and $33.4 million in 2013. Actual future payments obligations will vary depending on market prices at the time of delivery.

Other Claims

As part of our normal business activities with joint venture partners and certain customers and suppliers, we occasionally have claims made against us as a result of disputes related to contractual agreements or similar arrangements. As of June 30, 2008, claims against us totaled approximately $37.0 million. These matters are in various stages of assessment and the ultimate outcome of such disputes cannot be reasonably estimated. However, in our opinion, the likelihood of a material adverse outcome related to such disputes is remote. Accordingly, accruals for loss contingencies related to these matters, if any, that might result from the resolution of such disputes have not been reflected in our consolidated financial statements.

Note 15. Significant Risks and Uncertainties – Weather-Related Risks

The following table summarizes the proceeds we received from business interruption and property damage insurance claims with respect to certain named storms for the periods indicated:

(1) No such proceeds were received during the three months ended June 30, 2008.

At June 30, 2008, we have $24.6 million of estimated property damage claims outstanding related to these storms that we believe are probable of collection through 2009. To the extent we estimate the dollar value of such damages, please be aware that a change in our estimates may occur as additional information becomes available.

Note 16. Supplemental Cash Flow Information

Third parties may be obligated to reimburse us for all or a portion of expenditures on certain of our capital projects. The majority of such arrangements are associated with projects related to pipeline construction and production well tie-ins. We received $17.8 million and $48.6 million as contributions in aid of our construction costs during the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

The net effect of changes in operating assets and liabilities is as follows for the periods indicated:

Net effect of changes in operating accounts	$	(156,843	)	$	(4,225	)

We determine net cash provided by operating activities using the indirect method, which adjusts net income for items that did not affect cash. Under GAAP, we use the accrual basis of accounting to determine net income. This basis of accounting requires that we record revenue when earned and expenses when incurred. Earned revenues may include credit sales that have not been collected in cash and expenses incurred that may not have been paid in cash. The extent to which changes in operating accounts influence net cash provided by operating activities generally depends on the following:

The timing of cash receipts from revenue transactions and cash payments for expense transactions near the end of each reporting period. For example, if significant cash receipts are posted on the last day of the current reporting period, but subsequent payments on expense invoices are made on the first day of the next reporting period, cash provided by operating activities will reflect an increase in the current reporting period that will be reduced as payments are made in the next period. We employ prudent cash management practices and monitor our daily cash requirements to meet our ongoing liquidity needs.

If commodity or other prices increase between reporting periods, changes in accounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued expenses may appear larger than in previous periods; however, overall levels of receivables and payables may still reflect normal ranges. From a receivables standpoint, we monitor the amount of credit extended to customers.

Additions to inventory for forward sales transactions or other reasons or increased expenditures for prepaid items would be reflected as a use of cash and reduce overall cash provided by operating activities in a given reporting period. As these assets are charged to expense in subsequent periods, the expense amount is reflected as a positive change in operating accounts; however, there is no impact on operating cash flows.

In addition to the adjustments noted above, non-cash charges in the income statement are added back to net income and noncash credits are deducted to compute net cash provided by operating activities. Examples of noncash charges include depreciation and amortization.

Note 17. Condensed Financial Information of EPO

EPO conducts substantially all of our business. Currently, we have no independent operations and no material assets outside those of EPO. EPO consolidates the financial statements of Duncan Energy Partners with those of its own.

Enterprise Products Partners L.P. guarantees the debt obligations of EPO, with the exception of the Dixie revolving credit facility and the Duncan Energy Partners’ revolving credit facility. If EPO were to default on any of its guaranteed debt, Enterprise Products Partners L.P. would be responsible for full repayment of that obligation. See Note 9 for additional information regarding our consolidated debt obligations.

The reconciling items between our consolidated financial statements and those of EPO are insignificant. The following table presents condensed consolidated statements of operations data for EPO for the periods indicated:

Note 18. Subsequent Events

Acquisition of Remaining Interest in Dixie

In August 2008, we acquired the remaining 25.8% ownership interests in Dixie and a related terminals and storage business. Following this transaction, we own 100% of Dixie, which owns a 1,300-mile pipeline system that delivers propane to customers along the U.S. Gulf Coast and southeastern United States.

Amendments to certain Employee Partnership agreements

In July 2008, EPE Unit I, EPE Unit II and EPE Unit III each entered into a second amendment to agreement of limited partnership (“Second Amendment”). The Second Amendments for EPE Unit I and EPE Unit II provide for the reduction of the rate at which the Class A Limited Partner, DFI, earns a preferred return on its investment in EPE Unit I and EPE Unit II (“Class A Preference Return Rate”). The Class A Preference Return Rate in each of these two limited partnership agreements was reduced from 6.25% to a floating preference rate to be determined by EPCO, in its sole discretion, that will be between 4.50% and 5.725% per annum. The Second Amendment for EPE Unit I and EPE Unit II also provides that the liquidation date for these partnerships be extended to November 2012 and February 2014, respectively. The Second Amendment for EPE Unit III extends the liquidation date to May 2014.

Recent Developments

The following information highlights our significant developments since January 1, 2008 through the date of this filing.

Acquisition of Remaining Interest in Dixie

In August 2008, we acquired the remaining 25.8% ownership interests in Dixie Pipeline Company and a related terminals and storage business (collectively, “Dixie”). Following this transaction, we own 100% of Dixie, which owns a 1,300-mile pipeline system that delivers propane to customers along the U.S. Gulf Coast and southeastern United States.

Reorganization of Commercial Management Team

In July 2008, Mr. A. J. Teague, Executive Vice President, was elected as a Director to the boards of both our general partner and that of Duncan Energy Partners and as Chief Commercial Officer responsible for managing all of the commercial activities of the two partnerships. In connection with Mr. Teague’s appointment as Chief Commercial Officer, certain members of our senior management team were realigned to report to Mr. Teague. Mr. Teague will continue to report to Michael A. Creel, President and Chief Executive Officer of Enterprise Products Partners.

Independence Trail and Hub Resume Operations

In April 2008, production at the Independence Hub natural gas platform was shut-in due to a leak in the flex-joint assembly where the Independence Trail export pipeline connects to the platform. In June 2008, repairs were completed and the Independence Hub platform and Trail pipeline returned to operation. Our Independence Trail export pipeline recorded $14.2 million of expense associated with the flex-joint repairs. We have submitted a claim with our insurance carriers regarding the flex-joint repair costs. To the extent that we receive cash proceeds from this claim in the future, such amounts would be recorded as income in the period of receipt.

EPO Issues $1.10 Billion of Senior Notes

In April 2008, EPO sold $400.0 million in principal amount of 5.65% fixed-rate, unsecured senior notes due April 2013 (“Senior Notes M”) and $700.0 million in principal amount of 6.50% fixed-rate, unsecured senior notes due January 2019 (“Senior Notes N”). Net proceeds from this offering were used to temporarily reduce borrowings outstanding under EPO’s Multi-Year Revolving Credit Facility. For additional information regarding this issuance of debt, see Note 9 of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included under Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.

Duncan Energy Partners’ Shelf Registration Statement

In March 2008, Duncan Energy Partners filed a universal shelf registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) that authorized its issuance of up to $1.00 billion in debt

and equity securities. Duncan Energy Partners has not issued any securities under this registration statement through August 1, 2008.

Our Pioneer Cryogenic Natural Gas Processing Facility Commences Operations

In February 2008, we commenced operations at our recently completed Pioneer cryogenic natural gas processing facility. Located near the Opal Hub in southwestern Wyoming, this new facility is designed to process up to 750 MMcf/d of natural gas and extract as much as 30 MBPD of NGLs. We intend to maintain the operational capability of our Pioneer silica gel natural gas processing plant, which is located adjacent to the Pioneer cryogenic plant, as a back-up to provide producers with additional assurance of our processing capability at the complex. NGLs extracted at our Pioneer complex are transported on our Mid-America Pipeline System and ultimately to our Hobbs and Mont Belvieu NGL fractionators.

In late March 2008, operations at our Pioneer cryogenic natural gas processing facility were temporarily suspended following a release of natural gas and subsequent fire. No injuries resulted from the incident, which was restricted to a small area within the plant. The facility resumed operations in April 2008.

Results of Operations

We define total segment gross operating margin as consolidated operating income before (i) depreciation, amortization and accretion expense; (ii) operating lease expenses for which we do not have the payment obligation; (iii) gains and losses on the sale of assets; and (iv) general and administrative costs. Gross operating margin is exclusive of other income and expense transactions, provision for income taxes, minority interest, extraordinary charges and the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principle. Gross operating margin by segment is calculated by subtracting segment operating costs and expenses (net of the adjustments noted above) from segment revenues, with both segment totals before the elimination of intersegment and intrasegment transactions. Intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

We include earnings from equity method unconsolidated affiliates in our measurement of segment gross operating margin and operating income. Our equity investments with industry partners are a vital component of our business strategy. They are a means by which we conduct our operations to align our interests with those of our customers and/or suppliers. This method of operation also enables us to achieve favorable economies of scale relative to the level of investment and business risk assumed versus what we could accomplish on a stand-alone basis. Many of these businesses perform supporting or complementary roles to our other business operations.

Our consolidated gross operating margin amounts include the gross operating margin amounts of Duncan Energy Partners on a 100% basis. Volumetric data associated with the operations of Duncan Energy Partners are also included on a 100% basis in our consolidated statistical data.

For additional information regarding our business segments, see Note 11 of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included under Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.

As noted in the following section, changes in our revenues and costs and expenses period-to-period are explained in part by changes in energy commodity prices.

Comparison of Three Months Ended June 30, 2008 with

Three Months Ended June 30, 2007

Revenues for the second quarter of 2008 were $6.34 billion compared to $4.21 billion for the second quarter of 2007. The quarter-to-quarter increase in consolidated revenues is primarily due to higher energy commodity sales volumes and prices during the second quarter of 2008 relative to the second quarter of 2007. These factors accounted for $1.83 billion of the quarter-to-quarter increase in consolidated revenues associated with our NGL, natural gas and petrochemical marketing activities. Consolidated revenues increased $217.1 million quarter-to-quarter due to the addition of revenues from newly constructed assets, principally our Meeker and Pioneer natural gas processing plants.

Operating costs and expenses were $5.96 billion for the second quarter of 2008 versus $3.96 billion for the second quarter of 2007. The $2.00 billion quarter-to-quarter increase in consolidated operating costs and expenses is primarily due to higher cost of sales associated with our marketing activities. The cost of sales of our marketing activities increased $1.62 billion quarter-to-quarter primarily due to higher energy commodity sales volumes and prices. Likewise, the operating costs and expenses of our natural gas processing plants increased $262.9 million quarter-to-quarter primarily due to higher processing volumes and energy commodity prices. Consolidated operating costs and expenses attributable to newly constructed assets increased $127.4 million quarter-to-quarter. General and administrative costs decreased $7.4 million quarter-to-quarter primarily due to the recognition of a severance obligation to our former Chief Executive Officer in the second quarter of 2007.

Changes in our revenues and costs and expenses quarter-to-quarter are explained in part by changes in energy commodity prices. The weighted-average indicative market price for NGLs was $1.70 per gallon during the second quarter of 2008 versus $1.13 per gallon during the second quarter of 2007. Our determination of the weighted-average indicative market price for NGLs is based on U.S. Gulf Coast prices for such products at Mont Belvieu, Texas, which is the primary industry hub for domestic NGL production. The market price of natural gas (as measured at Henry Hub) averaged $10.94 per MMBtu during the second quarter of 2008 versus $7.55 per MMBtu during the second quarter of 2007.

Equity earnings from our unconsolidated affiliates were $18.6 million for the second quarter of 2008 compared to a loss of $6.2 million for the second quarter of 2007. Equity earnings from our investment in Cameron Highway Oil Pipeline Company (“Cameron Highway”) increased $16.1 million quarter-to-quarter due to higher transportation volumes and lower interest expense resulting from the retirement of its project finance debt in 2007. Equity earnings from our investment in Jonah Gas Gathering Company (“Jonah”) increased $4.1 million quarter-to-quarter. Equity earnings from our investment in Nemo Gathering Company, LLC (“Nemo”) improved $5.8 million quarter-to-quarter due to a non-cash impairment charge recognized in the second quarter of 2007. Equity earnings from the remainder of our equity method investments decreased $1.2 million primarily due to pipeline repair expenses incurred by Neptune Pipeline Company, L.L.C. (“Neptune”).

Operating income for the second quarter of 2008 was $374.3 million compared to $214.6 million for the second quarter of 2007. Collectively, the aforementioned changes in revenues, costs and expenses and equity earnings contributed to the $159.7 million increase in operating income quarter-to-quarter.

Interest expense increased to $95.8 million for the second quarter of 2008 from $71.3 million for the second quarter of 2007. The $24.5 million quarter-to-quarter increase in interest expense is primarily due to our issuance of junior subordinated notes in the second quarter of 2007, Senior Notes L in the third quarter of 2007 and Senior Notes M and N in the second quarter of 2008. Average debt principle outstanding during the second quarter of 2008 was $7.60 billion compared to $5.89 billion during the second quarter of 2007. Minority interest expense increased $3.2 million quarter-to-quarter attributable to the public unit holders of Duncan Energy Partners and third-party ownership interests in the Independence Hub platform.

Provision for income taxes increased $8.8 million quarter-to-quarter primarily due to the recognition of a $6.1 million credit with respect to the Texas Margin Tax in the second quarter of 2007. The credit was associated with a reorganization of certain of our entities from partnerships to limited liability companies effective June 30, 2007.

As a result of items noted in the previous paragraphs, our consolidated net income increased $121.1 million quarter-to-quarter to $263.3 million for the second quarter of 2008 compared to $142.2 million for the second quarter of 2007.

The following information highlights significant quarter-to-quarter variances in gross operating margin by business segment:

NGL Pipelines & Services. Gross operating margin from this business segment was $317.6 million for the second quarter of 2008 compared to $208.8 million for the second quarter of 2007. Strong demand for NGLs from the petrochemical and motor gasoline refining industries contributed to the $108.8 million quarter-to-quarter increase in segment gross operating margin. The second quarter of 2007 includes $20.2 million of proceeds from business interruption insurance claims compared to none for the second quarter of 2008. The following paragraphs provide a discussion of segment results excluding proceeds from business interruption insurance claims.

Gross operating margin from our natural gas processing and related NGL marketing business was $196.5 million for the second quarter of 2008 compared to $102.0 million for the second quarter of 2007. The $94.5 million quarter-to-quarter increase in gross operating margin is largely due to contributions from

recently constructed assets. Our Meeker and Pioneer cryogenic natural gas processing facilities, which became operational during October 2007 and February 2008, respectively, contributed $73.6 million of the quarter-to-quarter increase in gross operating margin. These facilities contributed 47 MBPD of equity NGL production during the second quarter of 2008.

The remaining $20.9 million quarter-to-quarter increase in gross operating margin from our natural gas processing business is primarily due to improved natural gas processing margins in South Texas and the Permian Basin during the second quarter of 2008 relative to the second quarter of 2007. Total fee-based processing volumes increased to 2.7 Bcf/d during the second quarter of 2008 from 2.4 Bcf/d during the second quarter of 2007. Likewise, equity NGL production increased to 111 MBPD during the second quarter of 2008 from 67 MBPD during the second quarter of 2007.

Gross operating margin from our NGL pipelines and related storage business was $94.2 million for the second quarter of 2008 compared to $65.6 million for the second quarter of 2007. Total NGL transportation volumes increased to 1,776 MBPD during the second quarter of 2008 from 1,696 MBPD during the second quarter of 2007. The $28.6 million quarter-to-quarter increase in gross operating margin and 80 MBPD increase in transportation volumes is primarily due to improved results from our Mid-America Pipeline System. The Mid-America Pipeline System benefited from (i) higher transportation volumes, (ii) a system-wide tariff increase (iii) and acquisition-related settlements during the second quarter of 2008.

Gross operating margin from our NGL fractionation business was $26.9 million for the second quarter of 2008 compared to $21.0 million for the second quarter of 2007. Fractionation volumes increased from 370 MBPD during the second quarter of 2007 to 447 MBPD during the second quarter of 2008. The $5.9 million quarter-to-quarter increase in gross operating margin and 77 MBPD increase in fractionation volumes is largely attributable to our Hobbs fractionator, which became operational in August 2007. The Hobbs fractionator contributed $9.3 million of the increase in gross operating margin on 78 MBPD of NGL fractionation volumes during the second quarter of 2008. Gross operating margin from our other NGL fractionators decreased $3.4 million quarter-to-quarter primarily due to lower fractionation volumes and higher power costs at our Norco fractionator.

Onshore Natural Gas Pipelines & Services. Gross operating margin from this business segment was $123.2 million for the second quarter of 2008 compared to $83.2 million for the second quarter of 2007. Our onshore natural gas transportation volumes were 7,381 BBtus/d during the second quarter of 2008 compared to 6,325 BBtus/d during the second quarter of 2007. Gross operating margin from our onshore natural gas pipeline business was $115.4 million in the second quarter of 2008 compared to $77.1 million in the second quarter of 2007. The $38.3 million quarter-to-quarter increase in gross operating margin from this business is primarily due to (i) higher revenues from our San Juan Gathering System, (ii) higher transportation volumes and fees on our Texas Intrastate System, (iii) higher natural gas sales margins on our Acadian Gas System and Waha Gas Gathering System and (iv) increased equity earnings from our investment in Jonah. The Jonah Gathering System contributed 396 BBtus/d of natural gas transportation volumes net to our interest during the second quarter of 2008.

Gross operating margin from our natural gas storage business was $7.8 million in the second quarter of 2008 compared to $6.1 million in the second quarter of 2007. The $1.7 million quarter-to-quarter increase in gross operating margin is primarily due to increased storage activity at our Petal natural gas storage facility. We placed an additional natural gas storage cavern having 1.6 Bcf of subscribed capacity in operation at the Petal facility during the third quarter of 2007.

Offshore Pipelines & Services. Gross operating margin from this business segment was $35.3 million for the second quarter of 2008 compared to $31.0 million for the second quarter of 2007. The second quarter of 2007 includes $1.3 million of proceeds from business interruption insurance claims compared to none for the second quarter of 2008. The following paragraphs provide a discussion of segment results excluding proceeds from business interruption insurance claims.

Gross operating margin from our offshore crude oil pipeline business was $14.8 million for the second quarter of 2008 versus a loss of $1.0 million for the second quarter of 2007. The $15.8 million increase in gross operating margin quarter-to-quarter is primarily due to increased equity earnings from Cameron Highway. Cameron Highway benefited from higher crude oil transportation volumes and lower interest expense in the second quarter of 2008 relative to the second quarter of 2007. The second quarter of 2007 includes a one-time expense of $8.8 million associated with the early retirement of Cameron Highway’s debt. Crude oil transportation volumes on the Cameron Highway Oil Pipeline System net to our ownership interest were 97 MBPD in the second quarter of 2008 compared to 45 MBPD in the second quarter of 2007. Total offshore crude oil transportation volumes were 216 MBPD during the second quarter of 2008 versus 175 MBPD during the second quarter of 2007.

Gross operating margin from our offshore platform services business was $31.6 million for the second quarter of 2008 compared to $26.8 million for the second quarter of 2007. The $4.8 million quarter-to-quarter increase in gross operating margin is primarily due to processing revenues earned by our Independence Hub platform, which received first production in July 2007. In April 2008, production at the Independence Hub natural gas platform was shut-in as a result of a leak on the Independence Trail export pipeline. In June 2008, repairs to the flex-joint assembly of the pipeline were completed and the Independence Hub platform and Trail pipeline returned to normal operations. While the Independence Hub platform did not earn volumetric fees during the period of suspended operations, the platform continued to earn its fixed demand revenues of approximately $5.0 million per month. Our net platform natural gas processing volumes increased to 353 MMcf/d during the second quarter of 2008 compared to 188 MMcf/d during the second quarter of 2007.

Gross operating margin from our offshore natural gas pipeline business was a loss of $11.1 million for the second quarter of 2008 compared to $4.0 million of earnings for the second quarter of 2007. The $15.1 million quarter-to-quarter decrease in gross operating margin from this business is primarily due to (i) repair costs incurred during the second quarter of 2008 on the Independence Trail Pipeline, (ii) lower revenues on our HIOS system and (iii) lower throughput volumes during the second quarter of 2008 relative to the second quarter of 2007.

Our Independence Trail export pipeline, which received first production in July 2007, reported a loss of $7.7 million for the second quarter of 2008 primarily due to 66 days of downtime and $14.2 million of costs associated with repairs to a flex-joint where the pipeline connects to the Independence Hub platform. We have placed our insurance carriers on notice of a claim for repairs associated with the flex-joint repair costs. To the extent that we receive cash proceeds from this claim in the future, such amounts would be recorded as income in the period of receipt. Gross operating margin from our HIOS system decreased $6.1 million quarter-to-quarter primarily due to our recognition of $5.5 million of deferred revenues during the second quarter of 2007 associated with the uncontested status of a rate case filing. Gross operating margin from our investment in Nemo improved $5.8 million quarter-to-quarter due to a non-cash impairment charge that was recognized in the second quarter of 2007. Collectively, gross operating margin from our other offshore natural gas pipelines decreased $7.1 million quarter-to-quarter primarily due to lower transportation volumes on our Viosca Knoll Gas Gathering and Phoenix Gas Gathering systems and lower equity earnings from our investment in Neptune resulting from pipeline repair expenses. Offshore natural gas transportation volumes were 1,170 BBtus/d during the second quarter of 2008 compared to 1,314 BBtus/d during the second quarter of 2007.

Petrochemical Services. Gross operating margin from this business segment was $58.2 million for the second quarter of 2008 compared to $50.3 million for the second quarter of 2007. Gross operating margin from our butane isomerization business was $30.9 million for the second quarter of 2008 compared to $22.3 million for the second quarter of 2007. The $8.6 million quarter-to-quarter increase in gross operating margin is primarily due to strong demand for high-purity isobutane and higher NGL prices, which resulted in higher by-product sales revenues during the second quarter of 2008 relative to the second quarter of 2007.

Gross operating margin from our propylene fractionation and pipeline business was $17.9 million for the second quarter of 2008 compared to $13.6 million for the second quarter of 2007. The $4.3 million

quarter-to-quarter increase in gross operating margin is largely due to higher propylene fractionation and transportation volumes during the second quarter of 2008 relative to the second quarter of 2007. Propylene fractionation volumes were 61 MBPD for the second quarter of 2008 compared to 55 MBPD for the second quarter of 2007. Petrochemical pipeline transportation volumes were 119 MBPD during the second quarter of 2008 compared to 103 MBPD during the second quarter of 2007.

Gross operating margin from our octane enhancement business was $9.4 million for the second quarter of 2008 compared to $14.4 million for the second quarter of 2007. Gross operating margin from this business decreased $5.0 million quarter-to-quarter primarily due to higher maintenance and power costs.

Comparison of Six Months Ended June 30, 2008 with

Six Months Ended June 30, 2007

Revenues for the first six months of 2008 were $12.02 billion compared to $7.54 billion for the first six months of 2007. The $4.48 billion period-to-period increase in consolidated revenues is primarily due to higher energy commodity sales volumes and prices during the first six months of 2008 relative to the first six months of 2007. These factors accounted for $3.99 billion of the period-to-period increase in consolidated revenues associated with our NGL, natural gas and petrochemical marketing activities. Consolidated revenues increased $414.6 million period-to-period due to the addition of revenues from newly constructed assets, principally our Meeker and Pioneer natural gas processing plants and our Independence Hub and Trail projects.

Operating costs and expenses were $11.27 billion for the first six months of 2008 compared to $7.09 billion for the first six months of 2007. The $4.18 billion period-to-period increase in consolidated operating costs and expenses is primarily due to higher costs of sales associated with our marketing activities. The cost of sales of our natural gas, NGL and petrochemical products increased $3.48 billion period-to-period primarily due to higher energy commodity sales volumes and prices. Operating costs and expenses associated with our natural gas processing plants increased $444.2 million period-to-period as a result of higher energy commodity prices and processing volumes during the first six months of 2008 compared to the first six months of 2007. Consolidated operating costs and expenses attributable to newly constructed assets increased $252.5 million period-to-period. General and administrative costs decreased $2.8 million period-to-period.

Changes in our revenues and costs and expenses period-to-period are explained in part by changes in energy commodity prices. The weighted-average indicative market price for NGLs was $1.60 per gallon for the six months ended June 30, 2008 versus $1.04 per gallon during the six months ended June 30, 2007. The Henry Hub market price for natural gas averaged $9.49 per MMBtu for the first six months of 2008 versus $7.16 per MMBtu during the first six months of 2007. For additional historical energy commodity pricing information, please see the table on page 50.

Equity earnings from our unconsolidated affiliates were $33.2 million for the first six months of 2008 compared to a $32 thousand loss in equity earnings for the first six months of 2007. Equity earnings from our investment in Cameron Highway increased $24.5 million period-to-period due to higher transportation volumes and lower interest expense. On a 100% basis, Cameron Highway had crude oil transportation volumes of 193 MBPD during the first six months of 2008 compared to 78 MBPD during the first six months of 2007. Equity earnings from our investment in Jonah increased $8.8 million period-to-period. We earned a fixed 19.4% interest in Jonah during the third quarter of 2007 upon completion of certain achievements with respect to the Phase V Expansion of the Jonah Gathering System.

Operating income for the first six months of 2008 was $741.0 million compared to $402.5 million for the first six months of 2007. Collectively, the aforementioned changes in revenues, costs and expenses and equity earnings contributed to the $338.5 million increase in operating income period-to-period.

Interest expense increased to $187.8 million for the first six months of 2008 from $134.6 million for the first six months of 2007. The $53.2 million period-to-period increase in interest expense is

primarily due to our issuance of junior subordinated notes in the second quarter of 2007, Senior Notes L in the third quarter of 2007 and Senior Notes M and N in the second quarter of 2008. Our average debt principal outstanding was $7.38 billion for the first six months of 2008 compared to $5.67 billion for the first six months of 2007.

Provision for income taxes increased $3.7 million period-to-period primarily due to the recognition of a $6.1 million credit with respect to the Texas Margin Tax in the second quarter of 2007. The credit was associated with a reorganization of certain of our entities from partnerships to limited liability companies effective June 30, 2007.

Minority interest expense increased $9.9 million period-to-period attributable to the public unitholders of Duncan Energy Partners and third-party ownership interests in the Independence Hub platform.

As a result of the items noted in previous paragraphs, our consolidated net income increased $268.7 million to $522.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to $254.2 million for the first six months of 2007.

The following information highlights the significant period-to-period variances in gross operating margin by business segment:

NGL Pipelines & Services. Gross operating margin from this business segment was $607.4 million for the first six months of 2008 compared to $399.5 million for the first six months of 2007, a period-to-period increase of $207.9 million. The first six months of 2008 include $1.1 million of proceeds from business interruption insurance claims compared to $21.6 million of proceeds during the first six months of 2007. The following paragraphs provide a discussion of segment results excluding proceeds from business interruption insurance claims.

Gross operating margin from our natural gas processing and related NGL marketing business was $374.2 million for the first six months of 2008 compared to $187.4 million for the first six months of 2007. The $186.8 million period-to-period increase in gross operating margin is largely due to higher natural gas processing volumes and increased equity NGL production during the first six months of 2008 relative to the first six months of 2007. Collectively, gross operating margin from our Meeker and Pioneer facilities increased $105.5 million period-to-period. These facilities contributed 43 MBPD of equity NGL production during 2008. Gross operating margin from our NGL Marketing business increased $24.8 million period-to-period primarily due to higher NGL sales margins and volumes. Our NGL Marketing business benefited from the additional equity NGL production at the Pioneer and Meeker cryogenic natural gas facilities.

Our natural gas processing business also benefited from improved natural gas processing margins in South Texas and the Permian Basin during the first six months of 2008 relative to the first six months of 2007. Gross operating margin from our South Texas processing plants and Chaco facility experienced a period-to-period increase of $31.3 million and $27.9 million, respectively. Total fee-based processing volumes increased to 2.7 Bcf/d during the first six months of 2008 from 2.4 Bcf/d during the first six months of 2007.

Total NGL transportation volumes increased to 1,803 MBPD during the first six months of 2008 from 1,652 MBPD during the first six months of 2007. The $36.0 million period-to-period increase in gross operating margin and 151 MBPD increase in transportation volumes from this business is primarily due to higher NGL transportation volumes and a system-wide tariff increase on our Mid-America Pipeline System.

Gross operating margin from our NGL fractionation business was $51.8 million for the first six months of 2008 compared to $46.2 million for the first six months of 2007. Fractionation volumes were

435 MBPD during the first six months of 2008 compared to 361 MBPD during the first six months of 2007. The $5.6 million period-to-period increase in gross operating margin and 74 MBPD increase in fractionation volumes is due to contributions from our Hobbs fractionator. The Hobbs fractionator contributed $13.8 million of gross operating margin on 75 MBPD of NGL fractionation volumes during the first six months of 2008. Collectively, gross operating margin from our other NGL fractionators decreased $8.2 million primarily due to lower volumes at our Mont Belvieu and Norco fractionators. Our Mont Belvieu fractionator experienced downtime during the first quarter of 2008 for scheduled maintenance activities.

Onshore Natural Gas Pipelines & Services. Gross operating margin from this business segment was $233.1 million for the first six months of 2008 compared to $159.7 million for the first six months of 2007. Our onshore natural gas transportation volumes were 7,181 BBtus/d during the first six months of 2008 compared to 6,206 BBtus/d during the first six months of 2007. Gross operating margin from our onshore natural gas pipeline business was $214.8 million for the first six months of 2008 compared to $148.4 million for the first six months of 2007. The $66.4 million period-to-period increase in gross operating margin from this business segment is primarily due to (i) higher revenues from our San Juan Gathering System, (ii) higher transportation activity on our Texas Intrastate System, (iii) higher natural gas sales margins on our Acadian Gas System and Carlsbad and Waha Gas Gathering Systems and (iv) increased equity earnings from our investment in Jonah. The Jonah Gathering System contributed 395 BBtus/d of natural gas transportation volumes net to our interest during the first six months of 2008.

Gross operating margin from our natural gas storage business was $18.3 million in the first six months of 2008 compared to $11.3 million for the first six months of 2007. The $7.0 million period-to-period increase in gross operating margin is primarily due to increased storage activity at our Petal natural gas storage facility and improved results at our Wilson facility. We placed an additional natural gas storage cavern having 1.6 Bcf of subscribed capacity in operation at the Petal facility during the third quarter of 2007.

Offshore Pipelines & Services. Gross operating margin from this business segment was $116.9 million for the first six months of 2008 compared to $50.8 million for the first six months of 2007. The first six months of 2008 include $0.2 million of proceeds from business interruption insurance claims compared to $1.3 million of proceeds during the first six months of 2007. The following paragraphs provide a discussion of segment results excluding proceeds from business interruption insurance.

Gross operating margin from our offshore platform services business was $75.2 million for the first six months of 2008 compared to $40.7 million for the first six months of 2007. The $34.5 million period-to-period increase in gross operating margin is primarily due to our completion of the Independence Hub platform in March 2007. As noted previously on page 55, the Independence Hub platform was shut-in for 66 days during the second quarter of 2008 due to a leak on the Independence Trail export pipeline. In June 2008, repairs to the flex-joint assembly of the pipeline were completed and the Independence Hub platform and Trail pipeline returned to normal operations. While the Independence Hub platform did not earn volumetric fees during the period of suspended operations, the platform continued to earn its fixed demand revenues of approximately $5.0 million per month. Our net platform natural gas processing volumes increased to 591 MMcf/d during the first six months of 2008 compared to 175 MMcf/d during the first six months of 2007.

Gross operating margin from our offshore crude oil pipeline business was $27.0 million for the first six months of 2008 versus $3.0 million for the first six months of 2007. The $24.0 million period-to-period increase in gross operating margin is primarily due to increased equity earnings from Cameron Highway. Cameron Highway benefited from higher crude oil transportation volumes and lower interest expense in the first six months of 2008 relative to the first six months of 2007. Crude oil transportation volumes on the Cameron Highway Oil Pipeline System net to our ownership interest were 96 MBPD in the first six months of 2008 compared to 39 MBPD in the first six months of 2007. Total offshore crude oil transportation volumes were 211 MBPD during the first six months of 2008 versus 164 MBPD during the first six months of 2007.

Gross operating margin from our offshore natural gas pipeline business was $14.5 million for the first six months of 2008 compared to $5.8 million for the first six months of 2007. Offshore natural gas transportation volumes were 1,553 BBtus/d during the first six months of 2008 versus 1,348 BBtus/d during the first six months of 2007. The $8.7 million period-to-period increase in gross operating margin and the 205 BBtus/d increase in volumes are primarily due to contributions from our Independence Trail export pipeline. Despite 66 days of downtime and $14.2 million of costs associated with flex-joint repairs, our Independence Trail pipeline earned $14.1 million of gross operating margin on 567 BBtus/d of transportation volumes during the first six months of 2008. Collectively, gross operating margin from our other offshore natural gas pipelines decreased $5.4 million period-to-period primarily due to lower volumes on our Viosca Knoll and Phoenix Gas Gathering systems.

Petrochemical Services. Gross operating margin from this business segment was $99.2 million for the first six months of 2008 compared to $87.9 million for the first six months of 2007. Gross operating margin from our butane isomerization business was $58.8 million for the first six months of 2008 compared to $43.1 million for the first six months of 2007. The $15.7 million period-to-period increase in gross operating margin is primarily due to strong demand for high-purity isobutane and higher NGL prices, which resulted in higher by-product sales revenues during the first six months of 2008 relative to the first six months of 2007. Butane isomerization volumes were 92 MBPD for the first six months of 2008 and 2007.

Gross operating margin from our propylene fractionation business was $33.2 million for the first six months of 2008 versus $31.6 million for the first six months of 2007. The $1.6 million period-to-period increase in gross operating margin is largely due to higher propylene fractionation and transportation volumes during the first six months of 2008 relative to the first six months of 2007. Propylene fractionation volumes were 60 MBPD for the first six months of 2008 compared to 58 MBPD for the first six months of 2007. Petrochemical pipeline transportation volumes were 117 MBPD during the first six months of 2008 compared to 102 MBPD during the first six months of 2007.

Gross operating margin from our octane enhancement business was $7.2 million for the first six months of 2008 compared to $13.2 million for the first six months of 2007. The $6.0 million period-to-period decrease in gross operating margin from this business is primarily due to higher power-related operating costs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary cash requirements, in addition to normal operating expenses and debt service, are for working capital, capital expenditures, business acquisitions and distributions to partners. We expect to fund our short-term needs for such items as operating expenses and sustaining capital expenditures with operating cash flows and short-term revolving credit arrangements. Capital expenditures for long-term needs resulting from business expansion projects and acquisitions are expected to be funded by a variety of sources (either separately or in combination) including net cash flows provided by operating activities, borrowings under credit facilities, the issuance of additional equity and debt securities, and proceeds from divestitures of ownership interests in assets to affiliates or third parties. We expect to fund cash distributions to partners primarily with operating cash flows. Our debt service requirements are expected to be funded by operating cash flows and/or refinancing arrangements.

At June 30, 2008, we had $24.7 million of unrestricted cash on hand and approximately $1.28 billion of available credit under EPO’s Multi-Year Revolving Credit Facility. Duncan Energy Partners had approximately $90.9 million of borrowing capacity under its Revolving Credit Facility on this date. In total, we had approximately $7.75 billion in principal outstanding under consolidated debt agreements at June 30, 2008. In total, our liquidity at June 30, 2008 was approximately $1.30 billion.

As a result of our growth objectives, we expect to access debt and equity capital markets from time-to-time and that financing arrangements to support our growth activities can be obtained on reasonable terms. Furthermore, we believe that maintenance of an investment grade credit rating, combined with ready access to debt and equity capital at reasonable rates and sufficient trade credit to

operate our businesses efficiently provides a solid foundation to meet our long and short-term liquidity and capital resource requirements.

For additional information regarding our growth strategy, see “Capital Spending” included within this Item 2.

Registration Statements

We may issue equity or debt securities to assist us in meeting our liquidity and capital spending requirements. We have a universal shelf registration statement on file with the SEC registering the issuance of an unlimited amount of equity and debt securities. In April 2008, EPO issued $1.10 billion in principal amount of fixed-rate, unsecured senior notes under this registration statement. Net proceeds from these senior note offerings were used to temporarily reduce borrowings outstanding under EPO’s Multi-Year Revolving Credit Facility.

We also have on file with the SEC a registration statement authorizing the issuance of up to 25,000,000 common units in connection with our distribution reinvestment plan (“DRIP”). The DRIP provides unitholders of record and beneficial owners of our common units a voluntary means by which they can increase the number of common units they own by reinvesting the quarterly cash distributions they would otherwise receive into the purchase of additional common units of our partnership. An aggregate of 1,219,560 of our common units were issued in connection with the DRIP and a related plan during the six months ended June 30, 2008. The issuance of these units generated $37.4 million in net proceeds that we used for general partnership purposes.

In March 2008, Duncan Energy Partners filed a universal shelf registration statement with the SEC that authorized its issuance of up to $1.00 billion in debt and equity securities. Duncan Energy Partners has not issued any securities under this registration statement through June 30, 2008.

At August 1, 2008, the investment grade credit ratings of EPO’s senior unsecured debt securities were Baa3 by Moody’s Investor Services and BBB- by Fitch Ratings and Standard and Poor’s. Such ratings reflect only the view of the rating agency and should not be interpreted as a recommendation to buy, sell or hold our securities. These ratings may be revised or withdrawn at any time by the agencies at their discretion.

Cash Flows from Operating, Investing and Financing Activities

The following table summarizes our cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities for the periods indicated (dollars in thousands). For information regarding the individual components of our cash flow amounts, see our Unaudited Condensed Statements of Consolidated Cash Flows included under Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.

	For the Six Months Ended June 30,
	2008		2007
Net cash flows provided by operating activities	$	696,708	$	552,049
Cash used in investing activities		1,032,048		1,387,187
Cash provided by financing activities		320,202		876,272

Net cash flows provided by operating activities are largely dependent on earnings from our business activities. As a result, these cash flows are exposed to certain risks. We operate predominantly in the midstream energy industry. We provide services for producers and consumers of natural gas, NGLs, crude oil and certain petrochemicals. The products that we process, sell or transport are principally used as fuel for residential, agricultural and commercial heating; feedstocks in petrochemical manufacturing; and in the production of motor gasoline. Reduced demand for our services or products by industrial customers,

whether because of a decline in general economic conditions, reduced demand for the end products made with our products, or increased competition from other service providers or producers due to pricing differences or other reasons, could have a negative impact on our earnings and operating cash flows.

We use the indirect method to compute net cash flows provided by operating activities. See Note 16 of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included under Item 1 of this Quarterly Report for information regarding this method of presentation.

Cash used in investing activities primarily represents expenditures for additions to property, plant and equipment, business combinations and investments in unconsolidated affiliates. Cash provided by financing activities generally consists of borrowings and repayments of debt, distributions to partners and proceeds from the issuance of equity securities. Amounts presented in our Unaudited Condensed Statements of Consolidated Cash Flows for borrowings and repayments under debt agreements are influenced by the magnitude of cash receipts and payments under our revolving credit facilities.

The following information highlights the significant period-to-period variances in our cash flow amounts:

Comparison of Six Months Ended June 30, 2008 with

Six Months Ended June 30, 2007

Operating activities. Net cash flow provided by operating activities was $696.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to $552.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The $144.7 million increase in operating cash flows was primarily due to the following:

Net cash flows from consolidated businesses (excluding cash payments for interest) increased $188.4 million period-to-period. This improvement in operating cash flow is generally due to an increase gross operating margin between the two six-months periods (see “Results of Operations” discussion within this Item 2) adjusted for the timing of related cash receipts and disbursements.

§	Cash payments for interest increased $43.7 million period-to-period primarily due to increased borrowings to finance our capital spending program.

Investing activities. Cash used in investing activities was $1.03 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to $1.39 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The $355.1 million period-to-period decrease was primarily due to the following:

§	a $70.7 million decrease in restricted cash (a cash inflow) due to a reduction in margin account requirements and the release of proceeds held in connection with the Petal GO Zone bonds; and

a $282.0 million decrease in cash outlays for investments in unconsolidated affiliates. During the second quarter of 2007, we contributed $216.5 million to an unconsolidated affiliate, Cameron Highway Oil Pipeline Company (“Cameron Highway”). In return, Cameron Highway used these funds, along with an equal contribution from our 50% joint venture partner in Cameron Highway, to repay its $430.0 million in outstanding debt. In addition, cash contributions to Jonah decreased $63.1 million period-to-period as a result of the timing of construction expenditures related to the Jonah Phase V expansion, which was completed in June 2008.

Capital spending for property, plant and equipment, net of contributions in aid of construction costs, decreased by $7.3 million period-to-period. For additional information related to our capital spending program, see “Capital Spending” included within this Item 2.

Our restricted cash balance increased from none at June 30, 2008 to $191.2 million as of August 5, 2008 in order to meet commodity exchange deposit requirements and a negative change in the fair value of our commodity positions. See Item 3 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for information regarding our commodity risk hedging program.

Financing activities. Cash provided by financing activities was $320.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 versus $876.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The $556.1 million period-to-period decrease in cash provided by financing activities was primarily due to the following:

Net borrowings under our consolidated debt agreements were $851.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to $985.4 million during the same period in 2007. The 2007 period includes Duncan Energy Partners’ initial borrowings of $190.0 million. The remaining difference is attributable to increased period-to-period borrowings to fund our capital spending program. For additional information regarding our consolidated debt obligations, see Note 9 of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included under Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.

§	Contributions from minority interests decreased $303.5 million period-to-period primarily due to the initial public offering of Duncan Energy Partners in February 2007, which generated net proceeds of approximately $291 million.

§	Cash distributions to our partners and minority interests increased $58.1 million period-to-period due to an increase in common units outstanding and our quarterly cash distribution rates.

The early termination and settlement of interest rate hedging financial instruments during the first six months of 2008 resulted in net cash payments of $22.1 million compared to net cash receipts of $42.3 million during the same period in 2007, which resulted in a $64.4 million decrease in financing cash flows between periods.

Capital Spending

An integral part of our business strategy involves expansion through business combinations, growth capital projects and investments in joint ventures. We believe that we are positioned to continue to grow our system of assets through the construction of new facilities and to capitalize on expected increases in natural gas and/or crude oil production from resource basins such as the Piceance Basin of western Colorado, the Greater Green River Basin in Wyoming, the Barnett Shale in North Texas and the deepwater Gulf of Mexico.

Management continues to analyze potential acquisitions, joint ventures and similar transactions with businesses that operate in complementary markets or geographic regions. In past years, major oil and gas companies have sold non-strategic assets in the midstream energy sector in which we operate. We forecast that this trend will continue, and expect independent oil and natural gas companies to consider similar divestitures.

The following table summarizes our capital spending by activity on a cash basis for the periods indicated (dollars in thousands):

	For the Six Months Ended June 30,
	2008		2007
Capital spending for property, plant and equipment, net
of contributions in aid of construction costs	$	1,073,404	$	1,080,693
Capital spending for business combinations		1		785
Acquisition of intangible assets (1)		5,126		--
Investments in unconsolidated affiliates (2)		19,560		294,598
Total capital spending	$	1,098,091	$	1,376,076

(1) Represents the acquisition of permits for our Mont Belvieu storage facility. (2) Capital spending for the six months ended June 30, 2007 includes $216.5 million in cash contributions to Cameron Highway to fund our share of the repayment of its debt obligations.

Based on information currently available, we estimate our consolidated capital spending for the remainder of 2008 (i.e., the third and fourth quarters) will approximate $756.6 million, which includes estimated expenditures of $626.3 million for growth capital projects and acquisitions and $130.3 million for sustaining capital expenditures.

Our forecast of consolidated capital expenditures is based on our current announced strategic operating and growth plans, which are dependent upon our ability to generate the required funds from either operating cash flows or from other means, including borrowings under debt agreements, issuance of equity, and potential divestitures of certain assets to third and/or related parties. Our forecast of capital expenditures may change due to factors beyond our control, such as weather related issues, changes in supplier prices or adverse economic conditions. Furthermore, our forecast may change as a result of decisions made by management at a later date, which may include acquisitions or decisions to take on additional partners.

Our success in raising capital, including the formation of joint ventures to share costs and risks, continues to be a principal factor that determines how much capital we can invest. We believe our access to capital resources is sufficient to meet the demands of our current and future operating growth needs, and although we currently intend to make the forecasted expenditures discussed above, we may adjust the timing and amounts of projected expenditures in response to changes in capital markets.

At June 30, 2008, we had approximately $390.1 million in purchase commitments outstanding that relate to our capital spending for property, plant and equipment. These commitments primarily relate to construction of our Barnett Shale natural gas pipeline project and Meeker natural gas processing plant.

Spending Update Regarding Significant Ongoing Announced Growth Capital Projects

The following table summarizes information regarding selected significant announced growth capital projects as of August 1, 2008 (dollars in millions). The capital spending amount noted for each project at June 30, 2008 includes accrued expenditures and capitalized interest as of this date. The forecast amount noted for each project includes a provision for estimated capitalized interest.

		Actual	Current
	Estimated	Costs Through	Forecast

For a brief description of each of these projects, see “– Liquidity and Capital Resources – Capital Spending – Significant Ongoing Growth Capital Projects,” included under Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.

Pipeline Integrity Costs

Our NGL, petrochemical and natural gas pipelines are subject to pipeline safety programs administered by the U.S. Department of Transportation, through its Office of Pipeline Safety. The following table summarizes our pipeline integrity costs, net of indemnity payments received from El Paso, for the periods indicated (dollars in thousands):

	For the Three Months				For the Six Months
	Ended June 30,				Ended June 30,
	2008		2007		2008		2007
Expensed	$	12,079	$	15,349	$	23,840	$	23,672
Capitalized		17,289		15,445		22,775		25,864
Total	$	29,368	$	30,794	$	46,615	$	49,536

We expect our cash outlay for the pipeline integrity program, irrespective of whether such costs are capitalized or expensed, to approximate $75.9 million for the remainder of 2008. This amount includes $7.4 million attributable to pipeline integrity projects of Duncan Energy Partners.

Overview of Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

A summary of the significant accounting policies we have adopted and followed in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements is included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007. Certain of these accounting policies require the use of estimates. As more fully described therein, the following estimates, in our opinion, are subjective in nature, require the exercise of judgment and involve complex analysis: depreciation methods and estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment; measuring recoverability of long-lived assets and equity method investments; amortization methods and estimated useful lives of qualifying intangible assets; methods we employ to measure the fair value of goodwill; revenue recognition policies and use of estimates for revenues and expenses; reserves for environmental matters; and natural gas imbalances. These estimates are based on our current knowledge and understanding and may change as a result of actions we may take in the future. Changes in these estimates will occur as a result of the passage of time and the occurrence of future events. Subsequent changes in these estimates may have a significant impact on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

For additional information regarding our related party transactions, see Note 12 of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included under Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.

We have an extensive and ongoing relationship with EPCO and its affiliates, including TEPPCO. Our revenues from EPCO and affiliates are primarily associated with sales of NGL products. Our expenses with EPCO and affiliates are primarily due to (i) reimbursements we pay EPCO in connection with an administrative services agreement and (ii) purchases of NGL products.

TEPPCO became a related party to us in February 2005 when its general partner was acquired by private company affiliates of EPCO. Our relationship with TEPPCO was further strengthened by the acquisition of TEPPCO’s general partner by Enterprise GP Holdings in May 2007. Enterprise GP Holdings also owns our general partner.

Many of our unconsolidated affiliates perform supporting or complementary roles to our consolidated business operations. The majority of our revenues from unconsolidated affiliates are earned from our sale of natural gas to Evangeline. The majority of our expenses with unconsolidated affiliates pertain to (i) our purchase of natural gas from Jonah and (ii) NGL transportation, storage and fractionation services we receive from K/D/S Promix, L.L.C.

On February 5, 2007, our consolidated subsidiary, Duncan Energy Partners, completed an underwritten initial public offering of its common units. Duncan Energy Partners was formed in September 2006 as a Delaware limited partnership to, among other things, acquire ownership interests in certain of our midstream energy businesses.

EPCO subleases to us certain equipment located at our Mont Belvieu facility and 100 railcars for $1 per year (the “retained leases”). These subleases are part of the administrative services agreement that we executed with EPCO in connection with our formation in 1998. EPCO holds this equipment pursuant to operating leases for which it has retained the corresponding cash lease payment obligation. We record the full value of such lease payments made by EPCO as a non-cash related party operating expense, with the offset to partners’ equity recorded as a general contribution to our partnership. Apart from the partnership interests we granted to EPCO at our formation, EPCO does not receive any additional ownership rights as a result of its contribution to us of the retained leases.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

On January 1, 2008, we adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) 157 that apply to financial assets and liabilities. SFAS 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at a specified measurement date. See Note 4 of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included under Item 1 of this Quarterly Report for information regarding fair value disclosures pertaining to our financial assets and liabilities.

For information regarding accounting developments during the first and second quarters of 2008 that may affect our future financial statements, see Note 2 of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included under Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.

similar arrangements, which allow us to convert a portion of fixed rate debt into variable rate debt or a portion of variable rate debt into fixed rate debt.

Fair Value Hedges – Interest Rate Swaps

As summarized in the following table, we had six interest rate swap agreements outstanding at June 30, 2008 that were accounted for as fair value hedges.

	Number	Period Covered	Termination	Fixed to	Notional
Hedged Fixed Rate Debt	of Swaps	by Swap	Date of Swap	Variable Rate (1)	Value
Senior Notes C, 6.375% fixed rate, due Feb. 2013	1	Jan. 2004 to Feb. 2013	Feb. 2013	6.38% to 5.08%	$100.0 million
Senior Notes G, 5.6% fixed rate, due Oct. 2014	5	4th Qtr. 2004 to Oct. 2014	Oct. 2014	5.60% to 3.64%	$500.0 million
(1) The variable rate indicated is the all-in variable rate for the current settlement period.

The aggregate fair value of the six interest rate swaps at June 30, 2008 was an asset of $8.9 million, with an offsetting decrease in the fair value of the underlying debt. There were eleven interest rate swaps outstanding at December 31, 2007 having an aggregate fair value of $14.8 million (an asset). Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 includes a $2.2 million benefit and a $2.3 million loss, respectively, from interest rate swap agreements. For the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, interest expense reflects a benefit of $1.3 million and a loss of $4.6 million, respectively, from interest rate swap agreements.

The following table summarizes the termination of our interest rate swaps during 2008 (dollars in millions):

	Notional			Cash
	Value			Gains (1)
Interest rate swap portfolio, December 31, 2007	$	1,050.0		$	--
First quarter of 2008 terminations		(200.0	)		6.3
Second quarter of 2008 terminations		(250.0	)		12.0
Interest rate swap portfolio, June 30, 2008	$	600.0		$	18.3

(1) Cash gains resulting from the termination, or monetization, of interest rate swaps will be amortized to earnings as a reduction to interest expense over the remaining life of the underlying debt.

The following table shows the effect of hypothetical price movements on the estimated fair value of our interest rate swap portfolio and the related change in fair value (“FV”) of the underlying debt at the dates indicated (dollars in millions). Income is not affected by changes in the fair value of these swaps; however, these swaps effectively convert the hedged portion of fixed-rate debt to variable-rate debt. As a result, interest expense (and related cash outlays for debt service) will increase or decrease with the change in the periodic “reset” rate associated with the respective swap. Typically, the reset rate is an agreed upon index rate published for the first day of the six-month interest calculation period.

	Resulting	Portfolio Fair Value at
Scenario	Classification	June 30, 2008			July 22, 2008
FV assuming no change in underlying interest rates	Asset	$	8.9		$	4.4

FV assuming 10% decrease in underlying interest rates	Asset		21.9			17.9

Cash Flow Hedges – Interest Rate Swaps

Duncan Energy Partners had three floating-to-fixed interest rate swap agreements outstanding at June 30, 2008 that were accounted for as cash flow hedges.

	Number	Period Covered	Termination	Variable to	Notional
Hedged Variable Rate Debt	of Swaps	by Swap	Date of Swap	Fixed Rate (1)	Value
Duncan Energy Partners’ Revolver, due Feb. 2011	3	Sep. 2007 to Sep. 2010	Sep. 2010	2.80% to 4.62%	$175.0 million

(1) Amounts receivable from or payable to the swap counterparties are settled every three months (the “settlement period”).

We recognized losses of $0.9 million and $0.8 million from these swap agreements during the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively. The aggregate fair value of these interest rate swaps at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 were liabilities of 4.1 million and $3.8 million, respectively. As cash flow hedges, any increase or decrease in fair value of the financial instrument (to the extent effective) would be recorded as other comprehensive income and amortized into earnings based on the settlement period being hedged. Over the next twelve months, we expect to reclassify $2.4 million of losses to earnings as an increase in interest expense.

The following table shows the effect of hypothetical price movements on the estimated fair value of Duncan Energy Partners’ interest rate swap portfolio (dollars in millions).

	Resulting	Portfolio Fair Value at
Scenario	Classification	June 30, 2008			July 22, 2008

FV assuming 10% increase in underlying interest rates	Liability		(2.8	)		(2.5	)
FV assuming 10% decrease in underlying interest rates	Liability		(5.3	)		(5.0	)

Cash Flow Hedges – Treasury Locks

We occasionally use treasury lock financial instruments to hedge the underlying U.S. treasury rates related to our anticipated issuances of debt. Cash gains or losses on the termination, or monetization, of such instruments are amortized to earnings using the effective interest method over the estimated term of the underlying fixed-rate debt. Each of our treasury lock transactions were designated as a cash flow hedge. The following table summarizes changes in our treasury lock portfolio since December 31, 2007 (dollars in millions).

	Notional			Cash
	Value			Losses (1)
Treasury lock portfolio, December 31, 2007	$	600.0		$	--
First quarter of 2008 terminations		(350.0	)		27.7
Second quarter of 2008 terminations		(250.0	)		12.7
Treasury lock portfolio, June 30, 2008	$	--		$	40.4

(1) Cash losses are included in net interest rate financial instrument losses on Unaudited Condensed Statements of Consolidated Comprehensive Income.

Commodity Risk Hedging Program

We assess the risk of our commodity financial instrument portfolio using a sensitivity analysis model. The sensitivity analysis applied to the portfolio measures the potential income or loss (i.e., the change in fair value of the portfolio) based upon a hypothetical 10% movement in the underlying quoted market prices of the commodity financial instruments outstanding at the date indicated within the following table.

The following table presents gains and losses recognized in earnings from this portion of the commodity financial instruments portfolio for the periods indicated (dollars in millions):

Three months ended June 30, 2008	Losses	$	(6.1	)
Three months ended June 30, 2007	Gains	$	0.9
Six months ended June 30, 2008	Losses	$	(5.4	)
Six months ended June 30, 2007	Gains	$	0.5

The following table shows the effect of hypothetical price movements on the estimated fair value of this component of the overall portfolio at the dates presented (dollars in millions):

	Resulting	Portfolio Fair Value at
Scenario	Classification	June 30, 2008		July 22, 2008
FV assuming no change in underlying commodity prices	Asset	$	9.6	$	19.2
FV assuming 10% increase in underlying commodity prices	Asset		5.3		14.0
FV assuming 10% decrease in underlying commodity prices	Asset		13.8		24.5

The change in fair value of the instruments between June 30, 2008 and July 22, 2008 is primarily due to a decrease in natural gas prices.

The following table presents gains and losses recognized in earnings from this portion of the commodity financial instruments portfolio for the periods indicated (dollars in millions):

Three months ended June 30, 2008	Gains	$	13.4

The change in fair value of the NGL and petrochemical portfolio between June 30, 2008 and July 22, 2008 is primarily due to a decrease in natural gas prices. A significant number of the financial instruments in this portfolio hedge the purchase of physical natural gas. If natural gas prices fall below the price stipulated in such financial instruments, we recognize a liability for the difference; however, if prices partially or fully recover, this liability would be reduced or eliminated, as appropriate. As of August 5, 2008, the fair value of this portfolio was a liability of $95.4 million. The decrease in fair value between July 22, 2008 and August 5, 2008 is primarily due to a further decline in natural gas prices. Our restricted cash balance increased from none at June 30, 2008 to $191.2 million as of August 5, 2008 in order to meet commodity exchange deposit requirements and the negative change in the fair value of our commodity positions.

Fair Value Information

On January 1, 2008, we adopted the provisions of SFAS 157 that apply to financial assets and liabilities. SFAS 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at a specified measurement date. See Note 4 of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included under Item 1 of this Quarterly Report for information regarding fair value disclosures pertaining to our financial assets and liabilities.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Our management, with the participation of the chief executive officer (“CEO”) and chief financial officer (“CFO”) of Enterprise Products GP, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on their evaluation, the CEO and CFO of Enterprise Products GP have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e)) are effective at a reasonable assurance level.

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) during our last fiscal quarter that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, including to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as

appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all fraud. Based on the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.

The certifications of our general partner’s CEO and CFO required under Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 have been included as exhibits to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
