Here's Where Things Went Wrong for Enterprise Products Partners L.P. in 2017

Midstream giant Enterprise Products Partners (NYSE: EPD) turned in a lackluster year in 2017. While the company outperformed most MLPs since the sector delivered a negative total return this year, Enterprise's meager 3.6% total return through mid-December fell well short of the best MLPs of 2017. Further, it was also well behind the red-hot S&P 500, which returned more than 22% this year.

Here's a look at why the company didn't deliver much value for investors this year and if that trend can reverse in 2018.
