BIS requires export license for EPD ethane/butane to China; ~85k BPD at risk
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

- BIS notified EPD that a license is required for exports of ethane/butane (purity >=95%) to China or Chinese military end users.
- EPD's Houston Ship Channel terminal loaded ~213k BPD ethane in 2024; ~85k BPD (40%) went to China, representing ~37% of total US ethane exports to China.
- EPD cannot determine if it can obtain licenses timely or the impact on financial position, results, or cash flows.
- The restriction is based on BIS concern over use in China's military-civil fusion strategy.
