Enbridge Inc., the biggest Canadian pipeline company, and Enterprise Products Partners LP plan to expand crude shipments to the U.S. Gulf Coast as supplies increase from Canada’s oil sands and the Bakken Shale in the Northern Plains.
Enbridge and Enterprise received enough shipper commitments to more than double capacity of the Seaway pipeline by mid-2014, according to a statement issued late yesterday. The companies will add 450,000 barrels a day to the system that links the U.S. oil trading hub at Cushing, Oklahoma, with the Gulf Coast. Enbridge also will expand its Flanagan South project linking Illinois and Cushing.
