overview of business we are 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 . ” we were formed in april 1998 to own and operate certain natural gas liquids ( “ ngls ” ) related businesses of epco and are a leading north american provider of midstream energy services to producers and consumers of natural gas , ngls , crude oil , petrochemicals and refined products . our integrated midstream energy asset network links producers of natural gas , ngls and crude oil from some of the largest supply basins in the u.s. , canada and the gulf of mexico with domestic consumers and international markets . our midstream energy operations currently include : natural gas gathering , treating , processing , transportation and storage ; ngl transportation , fractionation , storage , and export and import terminals ( including those used to export liquefied petroleum gases , or “ lpg , ” and ethane ) ; crude oil gathering , transportation , storage , and export and import terminals ; petrochemical and refined products transportation , storage , export and import terminals , and related services ; and a marine transportation business that operates primarily on the u.s. inland and intracoastal waterway systems . our assets currently include approximately 50,000 miles of pipelines ; 260 mmbbls of storage capacity for ngls , crude oil , petrochemicals and refined products ; and 14 bcf of natural gas storage capacity . the safe operation of our assets is a top priority . we are committed to protecting the environment and the health and safety of the public and those working on our behalf by conducting our business activities in a safe and environmentally responsible manner . for additional information , see “ environmental , safety and conservation ” within the regulatory matters section of part i , items 1 and 2 of this annual report . we conduct substantially all of our business through epo and are owned 100 % by our limited partners from an economic perspective . enterprise gp manages our partnership and owns a non-economic general partner interest in us . we , enterprise gp , epco and dan duncan llc are affiliates under the collective common control of the dd llc trustees and the epco trustees . like many publicly traded partnerships , we have no employees . all of our management , administrative and operating functions are performed by employees of epco pursuant to an administrative services agreement ( the “ asa ” ) or by other service providers . our operations are reported under four business segments : ( i ) ngl pipelines & services , ( ii ) crude oil pipelines & services , ( iii ) natural gas pipelines & services , and ( iv ) petrochemical & refined products services . our business segments are generally organized and managed according to the types of services rendered ( or technologies employed ) and products produced and or sold . 67 each of our business segments benefits from the supporting role of our related marketing activities . the main purpose of our marketing activities is to support the utilization and expansion of assets across our midstream energy asset network by increasing the volumes handled by such assets , which results in additional fee-based earnings for each business segment . in performing these support roles , our marketing activities also seek to participate in supply and demand opportunities as a supplemental source of gross operating margin , a non-generally accepted accounting principle ( “ non-gaap ” ) financial measure , for the partnership . the financial results of our marketing efforts fluctuate due to changes in volumes handled and overall market conditions , which are influenced by current and forward market prices for the products bought and sold . our results of operations and financial condition are subject to certain significant risks . factors that can affect the demand for our products and services include domestic and international economic conditions , the market price and demand for energy , the cost to develop natural gas and crude oil reserves in the u.s. , federal and state regulation , the cost and availability of capital to energy companies to invest in upstream exploration and production activities and the credit quality of our customers . story_separator_special_tag 71 in light of growing international demand for pgp , we also announced in july 2019 an expansion project at eht that is currently expected to increase its export capability for semi- or fully-refrigerated pgp by 3,500 barrels per hour , or approximately 84 mbpd . our current loading capacity at eht for pgp is approximately 2,500 barrels per hour , or 60 mbpd , of semi-refrigerated product . with the addition of fully refrigerated volumes due to t he expansion project , eht will be able to co-load fully refrigerated pgp and lpg volumes onto the same vessel . this expansion project is expected to be placed into service during the second half of 2021. general outlook for 2020 we provide midstream energy services to producers and consumers of natural gas , ngls , crude oil , petrochemicals and refined products . our financial position , results of operations and cash flows are contingent on the supply of , and demand for the energy commodities we handle across our integrated midstream energy asset network . the following information presents our views on key midstream energy supply and demand fundamentals going into 2020. supply side observations the upstream energy industry , led by the efforts of major oil companies , continues to shift resources to shale supply basins . domestic shale resources continue to play a key role in both u.s. and global markets , further supporting that the u.s. is a major oil supplier on par with the organization of petroleum exporting countries ( “ opec ” ) and russia . the u.s. became a net natural gas exporter on an annual basis in 2017 , and it continued to export more natural gas than it imported in both 2018 and 2019. we believe that a significant portion of the expected growth in u.s. crude oil , natural gas and ngl production in 2020 will be destined for export markets . as measured by new york mercantile exchange ( “ nymex ” ) , wti oil prices started 2019 at $ 45.41 per barrel but rapidly increased to $ 66.30 per barrel on april 23 , 2019 as opec and russia maintained their supply cuts and the u.s. imposed sanctions on iran , which restricted crude oil exports from that country to a minimum . however , prices subsequently softened as a result of continued trade disputes between the u.s. and other countries , with china in particular . counteracting these “ trade headwinds ” was the fact that crude oil production growth in the u.s. was slowing in response to producers cutting back on drilling activities in an effort to preserve cash and enhance their financial condition in a capital-constrained environment . consequently , wti prices fluctuated between $ 51 and $ 66 per barrel for the rest of 2019. the wti oil price finished 2019 at $ 61.06 per barrel and averaged $ 57.03 per barrel for all of 2019 compared to an average of $ 64.77 per barrel for 2018. wti prices in 2020 have ranged from a high of $ 63.27 per barrel to a low of $ 49.57 per barrel through february 10 , 2020. the forward commodity markets for wti ( as reported by the nymex ) currently indicate monthly pricing in the range of $ 51.17 to $ 52.11 per barrel for periods extending through february 2021. as reported by the eia , u.s. crude oil production , having finished 2018 at 12 mmbpd , spent the first seven months of 2019 between 11.7 mmbpd and 12.1 mmbpd . nevertheless , u.s. crude oil production accelerated during the latter part of the year at a record high of 12.9 mmbpd in november 2019. in addition , as reported by the eia , u.s. production of ngls increased steadily throughout 2019 and averaged a record 4.8 mmbpd for the year . for 2018 , u.s. production of ngls averaged 4.4 mmbpd . the focus of u.s. exploration and production companies in 2019 was more on exercising capital discipline than increasing production . rig counts ( as reported by baker hughes ) reflect this emphasis , declining 26 % over the course of 2019 from 1,083 in december 2018 to 805 in december 2019. however , not all regions slowed equally . the permian basin rig count fell 17 % while the haynesville shale rig count fell 6 % , whereas the cana woodford rig count fell 64 % . as rig counts declined and fewer wells were drilled in 2019 , producers gradually began to work off their inventory of drilled but uncompleted wells ( “ ducs ” ) . as reported by the eia , the duc count declined to approximately 7,600 in november 2019 from 8,000 in december 2018. of the current ducs , approximately 3,600 are in the permian basin . ducs represent a significant potential volume that will continue to be brought into production . 72 near-term global economic growth has been adversely impacted by the emergence of the coronavirus , officially designated as covid-19 , in china , and then in several other countries and regions including the u.s. , japan and europe . as a result of this public health concern , a significant amount of global commerce has been affected due to travel restrictions , quarantines , and similar measures . analysts from s & p recently estimated that the virus could lower china 's gross domestic product by approximately 1 % in 2020 , with a peak effect in the first quarter of 2020 before rebounding in the third quarter of 2020. overall , economists estimate that headwinds from the virus could reduce global economic growth in 2020 by 0.2 % to 0.3 % , while in the u.s. first quarter of 2020 growth could be reduced by 0.2 % to 0.4 % . the impact of reduced hydrocarbon demand in asia due to the virus has been felt in the price of crude oil

per barrel to a low of $ 49.57 per barrel through february 10 , 2020. the forward commodity markets for wti ( as reported by the nymex ) currently indicate monthly pricing in the range of $ 51.17 to $ 52.11 per barrel for periods extending through february 2021. as reported by the eia , u.s. crude oil production , having finished 2018 at 12 mmbpd , spent the first seven months of 2019 between 11.7
