The deal would add a 460,000-barrel-per-day pipeline, 8.4 million barrels of storage and a crude marketing business, Bloomberg News reported.
On Wednesday, Enbridge announced it will acquire Blackstone-owned Tallgrass Energy's crude oil business for US$2.55 billion in cash, expanding its U.S. liquids pipeline network with majority stakes in key assets.
Strengthening its reach into U.S. crude-producing regions, the deal targets the Bakken, Powder River, and Denver-Julesburg basins while creating operational synergies with Enbridge's existing Express-Platte pipeline system.
The acquisition includes a 75 per cent interest in the Pony Express Pipeline, a 460,000-barrel-per-day system connecting the Rockies to Cushing, Okla., plus 51 per cent interest in the Powder River Gateway with 8.4 million barrels of storage capacity.
CEO Greg Ebel announced plans to retire at the end of the year, handing leadership to Michele Harradence, the current head of Enbridge's gas utilities business.
Expected to close later in 2026, the transaction remains subject to antitrust provisions, as Enbridge maintains U.S. crude production will remain critical to global energy demand for decades.
