Item 1. Security and Issuer:

	This statement relates to the Deferred Participation Units (the "DPUs") 
and Common Limited Partnership Units (the "Common Units") of Enron Liquids 
Pipeline, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the "MLP"), whose principal 
executive offices are located at 1400 Smith Street, Houston, Texas 77002-7369.

Item 2. Identity and Background:

	This statement is being filed by Enron Corp., a Delaware corporation 
("Enron"), which is an integrated natural gas company that engages, primarily 
through subsidiaries, in the transportation and wholesale marketing of natural 
gas, the exploration for and production of natural gas and crude oil, the 
production, purchase, transportation and worldwide marketing and trading of 
natural gas liquids, crude oil and refined petroleum products, the production 
and sale of cogenerated electricity and steam and the purchasing and marketing 
of long-term energy-related commitments.  Enron may be deemed a control person 
of Enron Liquids Pipeline Company ("ELPC"), a Delaware corporation and an 
indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Enron.  ELPC serves as the sole general 
partner of the MLP and owns a 12.9% limited partner interest in the MLP.  
Beneficial ownership of ELPC's 12.9% limited partner interest may be 
attributed to Enron due to Enron's sole ownership of ELPC.  Concurrent with 
this filing, ELPC is filing a separate Schedule 13D regarding its 12.9% 
limited partner interest in the MLP.  
	
	This filing refers to a 12.9% limited partner interest in the MLP that 
is currently in the form of 860,000 DPUs.  ELPC received these DPUs  as 
consideration for its initial contribution to the MLP.  During the deferral 
period, no voting or distribution rights were attributed to the DPUs.  The 
deferral period ended September 30, 1994.  From that date forward, the DPUs 
have been accorded voting and distribution rights equal to the MLP's Common 
Units.  Furthermore, the DPUs will automatically convert into Common Units 
when ELPC, as general partner of the MLP, determines that the DPUs and Common 
Units have like intrinsic economic and federal income tax characteristics.  
Under the Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of Enron 
Liquids Pipeline, L.P. (the "Partnership Agreement") dated August 6, 1992, 
ELPC may take all reasonable steps to achieve uniformity between the DPUs and 
the Common Units of the MLP.  Since ELPC has the authority to bring the DPUs' 
economic characteristics into conformity with the Common Units, thus causing 
the conversion of the DPUs into Common Units, beneficial ownership of 860,000 
Common Units may be attributed to ELPC and to Enron, a control person of ELPC.
	
	The address of the principal business office of Enron is 1400 Smith 
Street, Houston, Texas 77002.  Schedule I attached hereto sets forth certain 
additional information with respect to each director and each executive 
officer of Enron.  The filing of this statement on Schedule 13D shall not be 
construed as an admission that Enron or any person listed on Schedule I hereto 
is, for the purposes of Section 13(d) or 13(g) of the Securities Exchange Act 
of 1934, the beneficial owner of any securities covered by this statement.

	Neither Enron, nor, to its knowledge, any person listed on Schedule I 
hereto has been, during the last five years (a) convicted of any criminal 
proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or (b) a 
party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent 
jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a 
judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting 
or mandating activities subject to, U.S. federal or state securities laws or 
finding any violations with respect to such laws.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds:

	On August 6, 1992, Enron transferred to ELPC assets consisting of 
three pipeline systems.  ELPC transferred these assets to the MLP in return 
for 860,000 DPUs, which represent a 12.9% limited partner interest in the MLP.  
As stated above, ELPC's right to receive distributions on its limited partner 
interest in the MLP was initially deferred, and the deferral period ended on 
September 30, 1994.  The assets contributed to the MLP through ELPC consisted 
of assets that had been owned by Enron and its subsidiaries for several years 
prior to the transfer.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction:

	On August 6, 1992, the date upon which ELPC obtained its DPUs 
representing a 12.9% deferred limited partner interest in the MLP, Enron 
intended to retain its ownership interest in ELPC indefinitely.  At the end of 
the deferral period, Enron's intention had not changed.

	At the time of this filing, Enron is contemplating the sale of ELPC.  
Enron has entered into an agreement to sell all of the capital stock of ELPC.  
Enron's sale of ELPC, if and when it occurs, will result in the termination of 
Enron's beneficial ownership of ELPC's limited partner interest in the MLP.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer:

	By virtue of its ownership of DPUs, Enron may be deemed to own 
beneficially and to have the sole power to vote and dispose of 860,000 Common 
Units (12.9% of the MLP's outstanding Common Units).

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With 
Respect to Securities of the Issuer:

      Several provisions regarding the transfer, conversion, distribution and 
voting rights of the DPUs are set forth in the Partnership Agreement. ELPC is 
granted certain registration rights in Section 6.13 of the Partnership 
Agreement.  Restrictions on transfer of MLP interests in general are contained 
in Article 11 of the Partnership Agreement; restrictions on transfer of DPUs 
are found in Section 11.7 of the Partnership Agreement.  Section 17.1 of the 
Partnership Agreement gives ELPC the right, in certain circumstances, to 
acquire all of the outstanding securities in a class.  Section 1.6 of the 
Partnership Agreement gives ELPC the right to restrict transfer of any or all 
partnership interests in order to avoid certain adverse tax consequences.

Item 7. Material to be Filed as Exhibits:

	Exhibit A:      Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership
              			of Enron Liquids Pipeline, L.P., as amended 
              			(incorporated by reference to Exhibits 3.1, 3.2 
              			and 3.3 of the Enron Liquids Pipeline, L.P. Annual
              			Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
              			1993).

	After reasonable inquiry and to the best knowledge and belief of the 
undersigned, the undersigned certify that the information set forth in this 
statement is true, complete and correct.
