Enbridge Inc. and Enterprise Products Partners L.P. said in a news release they are proceeding with an expansion of the Seaway Pipeline that will more than double its capacity to 850,000 bpd by mid-2014, after having secured additional commitments from shippers.
“Based on the tremendous response to the open commitment period, shippers have recognized the advantages Seaway offers in being able to provide a timely, economic and complete solution for relieving not only the bottleneck at Cushing but facilitating the development and delivery of North American energy reserves,” said Michael A. Creel, president and CEO of Enterprise’s general partner.
