Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--With Canada's massive Trans Mountain expansion facing delays, Enbridge Incorporated (NYSE:ENB) (Calgary, Alberta) is upping its game with its own proposed capacity additions. An executive recently told Reuters the company could add as much as 200,000 barrels per day (BBL/d) of capacity to its Canadian Mainline, which currently is Canada's largest oil export pipeline system. The proposal joins a series of expansions across Enbridge's North American portfolio. Industrial Info is tracking nearly US$14 billion worth of active and planned projects from Enbridge across the U.S. and Canada, including about US$9.5 billion worth that have a medium-to-high likelihood (70% or more) of moving forward as planned.

The 3 million-BBL/d Mainline System carries oil from Alberta to Wisconsin, where it then splits to go back into Canada or south toward the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. Its biggest competitor is the government-owned, 300,000-BBL/d Trans Mountain line, which will carry another 590,000 BBL/d of capacity to the Pacific Coast once the current expansion is complete. But with the Trans Mountain expansion facing delays in British Columbia, where residents are requesting a route change, Enbridge sees an opportunity to boost its own capacity on Mainline, which is "essentially full right now," according to Marc Weil, a senior vice president in Enbridge's Liquids Pipelines division, who spoke to Reuters.
Enbridge already is planning a series of tank inspections and upgrades at five terminals along its Canadian Mainline System, which are expected to run through the end of 2024. The terminals are based in Alberta, Manitoba, Ontario and Wisconsin.

If approved, the Mainline proposal would join Enbridge undertakings like the Sunrise expansion program, which is designed to bolster the Westcoast pipeline system, British Columbia's major infrastructure for natural gas transmission. Sunrise would add 27 miles of line from Peace River to Summit Lake, British Columbia, and 36 miles of line from Summit Lake to One Hundred Mile House, British Columbia, as well as several new compressor stations. Enbridge says the expansion would add 300 million standard cubic feet per day of capacity to the 3.6 billion-cubic-foot-per-day system.

In eastern Canada, Enbridge started construction earlier this year on its Dawn Corunna Project in the St. Clair Township area of Ontario, which sits on the border with Michigan. Enbridge aims to replace older natural gas storage and transmission assets, including seven of its 11 natural gas compressors, which are approaching the end of their lifecycles, while it constructs a 20-mile, US$77 million pipeline between Mooretown and the Township of Dawn-Euphemia. The new line will connect the system's operational center to the Corunna Compressor Station, where Enbridge is preparing for US$22 million in replacements and additions. Subscribers can read detailed reports on the pipeline and compressor station projects.
Along the project-intensive U.S. Gulf Coast, Enbridge is preparing to begin construction in the coming months on the 277-mile, US$285 million Rio Bravo Pipeline from Nueces County to Brownsville, Texas. The two-phase line is designed to carry up to 4.5 billion cubic feet per day of natural gas from the Agua Dulce Hub in Nueces County, which serves as the supply point for several pipelines that cross the U.S.-Mexico border, to NextDecade Corporation's (NASDAQ:NEXT) (Houston, Texas) Rio Grande LNG Liquefaction and Export Terminal in Brownsville. Subscribers can read detailed project reports on the 137.5-mile Phase I and a 139.5-mile Phase II.
