News highlights gathered by Industrial Info and IIR Energy (Sugar Land, Texas) dealing with the energy markets.
PIPELINES
Enbridge to Restart Closed Michigan Pipeline Section - Enbridge (NYSE:ENB) intends to resume operations on a closed section of the Line 5 Pipeline in northern Michigan, after getting approvals from a federal agency and a Michigan judge. The approvals came from the U.S. Department of Transportation's Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration and Ingham County Circuit Court Judge James Jamo. The decisions affect the east segment of Line 5 at the Straits of Mackinac that separate Michigan's Upper and Lower peninsulas. The lines had been shut down last June after concerns were raised about the east segment's anchor system. The western line was later allowed to resume operations. Line 5 carries 540,000 barrels of liquids per day from Superior, Wisconsin, to Sarnia, Ontario. (Pipeline 3506883) (Kallanish Energy)

Infrastructure related to delivering oil to the market, such as oil caverns, pumps, pipes and valves, are "intact and in a safe idle condition," the department said in a release. (Reuters)
