     Item 1:  Security and Issuer.

     This  Statement  relates to  431,000  Common  Units of Limited  Partnership
Interest (the "Common Units") of Kinder Morgan Energy Partners,  L.P. (formerly,
Enron Liquids  Pipeline,  L.P.), a Delaware limited  partnership (the "Issuer"),
whose  principal  executive  office is located  at 1301  McKinney,  Suite  3450,
Houston, Texas 77010. This Statement is Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D filed on
January 23, 1997.

     Item 2:  Identity and Background.

     This  Statement  is filed by Kinder  Morgan  G.P.,  Inc.  (formerly,  Enron
Liquids Pipeline Company),  a Delaware corporation  ("KMGP").  This Statement is
the First Amendment to Schedule 13D filed by Enron Liquids  Pipeline  Company on
January 23, 1997 (the "Prior  Statement").  The Prior Statement  reflected Enron
Liquids Pipeline Company as the owner of 860,000 Deferred  Participation  Units.
The Deferred Participation Units automatically converted into Common Units on or
about February 14, 1997 when Enron Liquids Pipeline Company  determined that the
Deferred  Participation  Units and the Common Units had like intrinsic  economic
and federal  income tax  characteristics.  On February 14, 1997,  Enron  Liquids
Pipeline  Company  sold 429,000  Common  Units for an  aggregate  sales price of
$15,135,135  (approximately  $35.28 per Common Unit).  Following  such sale, the
name of Enron Liquids Pipeline Company was changed to Kinder Morgan G.P., Inc.

     KMGP remains the sole general partner of the Issuer.  On February 14, 1997,
following  the sale of 429,000  Common  Units  described  above,  Enron  Liquids
Holding  Corp.,  a Delaware  corporation  and  wholly-owned  subsidiary of Enron
Corp.,  sold all of the issued and  outstanding  capital stock of KMGP to Kinder
Morgan,  Inc., a Delaware corporation ("KMI"). As a result, KMGP is now a wholly
owned  subsidiary  of KMI.  At or about  the  same  time as the  filing  of this
Statement,  KMI will file a separate  Amendment to its Statement on Schedule 13D
describing its acquisition of KMGP.

     KMGP maintains its principal executive office at 1301 McKinney, Suite 3450,
Houston,  Texas 77010.  Schedule I attached hereto sets forth  information  with
respect to each director and officer of KMGP.

     None of KMGP or, to the best of the  undersigned's  knowledge,  any  person
listed on Schedule I hereto,  has been (a) convicted in any criminal  proceeding
during  the  last  five  years   (excluding   traffic   violations   or  similar
misdemeanors),  or (b) subject to a civil  decree,  final order or judgment of a
court or  administrative  body enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or
mandating  activities  subject to, federal or state  securities laws, or finding
any violation with respect to such laws.

     Item 3:  Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

     No funds or other  consideration  were required by KMGP in connection  with
the transaction which is the subject of this Statement.

     Item 4:  Purpose of Transaction.

     The  429,000  Common  Units were sold in order to issue a cash  dividend to
Enron Liquids Pipeline  Company's sole shareholder,  Enron Liquids Holding Corp.
KMGP intends to review on a continuing  basis its  investment  in the Issuer and
the Issuer's  business and  prospects.  KMGP is not  currently  considering  the
acquisition or disposition of additional Common Units.

     Except as  described  above,  KMGP has no  present  plan or  proposal  with
respect to any action that would relate to or result in the occurrence of any of
the matters enumerated under Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

     Item 5:  Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

     (a) The  aggregate  number and  percentage of the Common Units deemed to be
beneficially owned by KMGP is described on the cover page.

     (b) The aggregate number and percentage of the Common Units over which each
of KMGP has sole voting power,  shared voting power, sole dispositive power, and
shared dispositive power is described on the cover page.

     (c) KMGP has not participated in any transaction in the Common Units in the
past sixty days, except as described herein.

     KMI owns all of the issued and  outstanding  capital  stock of KMGP,  which
owns 431,000 Common Units.

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

     Several provisions  regarding the transfer,  distribution and voting rights
of the Common  Units are set forth in the  Amended  and  Restated  Agreement  of
Limited Partnership (the "Partnership  Agreement").  Pursuant to the Partnership
Agreement,  KMGP holds certain  registration  rights pursuant to Section 6.13 of
the  Partnership  Agreement.  Restrictions  on transfer  of limited  partnership
interests in general are contained in Article 11 of the  Partnership  Agreement.
Section 17.1 of the Partnership  Agreement  gives KMGP, as the general  partner,
the  right,  in  certain  circumstances,  to  acquire  all  of  the  outstanding
securities in a class.  Section 1.6 of the Partnership  Agreement gives KMGP, as
the

                             4

<PAGE>


general  partner,  the right to restrict  transfer of any or all partnership
interests in order to avoid certain adverse tax consequences.

     KMGP  has  pledged  431,000  Common  Units  which  it  continues  to own as
additional  security for  indebtedness  of KMI incurred in connection with KMI's
acquisition  of KMGP  pursuant to a Credit  Agreement  (the "Credit  Agreement")
dated as of February 14, 1997 between KMI and First Union National Bank of North
Carolina  ("First Union").  The Credit Agreement  requires First Union's consent
for, among other things, (i) the merger or consolidation of the Partnership with
any  other  person,  (ii)  the  sale,  lease  or  other  disposition  of  all or
substantially all of the Partnership's property or assets to any other person or
(iii) the issuance of any additional Common Units. The documents evidencing such
pledge  contain  customary  default and  similar  provisions  contained  in loan
agreements and do not otherwise  contain any provision or contingency that would
give another person voting power or investment power over the Common Units owned
by KMGP.

     Item 7:  Material to be Filed as Exhibits.

     None.
