US EditionTrump Grants Nine Pipeline Permits to Enbridge
The permits cover a new Bakken Pipeline Company link and maintenance for existing Enbridge lines, adding 150,000 barrels per day of capacity.
- On Wednesday, President Donald Trump issued pipeline permits for Enbridge and the Bakken Pipeline Company, allowing them to "construct, connect, operate and maintain" facilities in North Dakota and Michigan.
- Enbridge's expansion follows a US$1.4-billion plan approved last year to increase crude shipments to the U.S. despite trade tensions between the countries. The company aims to expand its cross-Canada oil transport infrastructure.
- Phase one of the Mainline Optimization project adds 150,000 barrels per day to the Midwest system, while the Flanagan South system adds 100,000 barrels; a future phase could add 250,000 barrels by 2028 using the Dakota Access Pipeline.
- Last January, the Alberta government formed a working group with Enbridge to explore expanding pipeline capacity, targeting greater volumes of heavy oilsands crude to U.S. Gulf Coast refineries.
- Enbridge continues to prioritize expanding existing pipeline capacity over constructing new lines from scratch to serve the world's largest refining complex equipped to process heavy oilsands crude.
