Enbridge has commitments to expand line

Enbridge Inc. said June 28 that it has shipper commitments totaling 229,000 barrels per day of capacity on the Waupisoo Pipeline, part of Enbridge’s Regional Oil Sands System.

Enbridge said that based on those commitments it will undertake to expand the Waupisoo Pipeline to its maximum capacity, a project estimated to cost some $400 million.

The expansion includes commitments announced in February, the company said.

Enbridge said the Waupisoo Pipeline expansion will provide some 65,000 bpd of additional capacity in the second half of 2012 and a further approximately 190,000 bpd when fully in service in the second half of 2013.
