Mont Belvieu Bus Tour

Mont Belvieu NGL Facilities Bus Tour

Wednesday, November 5, 2026

Buses will depart The Westin Galleria Houston at 10:00 am and return by 4:00 pm.

This guided bus tour offers a rare opportunity to visit several key facilities at the Mont Belvieu Natural Gas Liquids (NGL) complex—one of the most important hubs in the U.S. energy infrastructure but conveniently located only 40 miles from the conference. Designed for those interested in the technical, operational, and logistical aspects of NGL processing and storage, the tour provides a comprehensive overview of how raw NGLs are separated, converted, stored, and quality-tested.

Tour stops include:

• Fractionation Units – Observe large-scale fractionators in action as they separate mixed NGL streams into individual components like ethane, propane, and butane.
• Propane Dehydrogenation (PDH) Plants – See how propane is converted into propylene, a key feedstock for plastics and industrial chemicals.
• The Salt Dome – Learn about the extensive underground storage system, where NGLs are held in solution-mined salt caverns beneath the surface.
• Quality Control Laboratories – Visit labs where technicians analyze product streams to ensure they meet industry and regulatory specifications.

Throughout the tour, knowledgeable guides will offer context and commentary on the processes, technologies, and infrastructure that make Mont Belvieu central to the NGL supply chain. Time for questions and discussion will be included throughout the tour.

Space on the tour is extremely limited, so be sure to add this to your registration today for only $75.00 to reserve your seat!
