In liquids pipelines, Enbridge’s Mainline system and related assets move Canadian crude oil to key refining markets in the U.S. Midwest and Gulf Coast. The company has announced the Mainline Optimization Phase 1 project to add capacity on its Mainline network and the Flanagan South Pipeline to increase deliveries of Canadian heavy oil to U.S. refining markets. It has also described projects such as the Southern Illinois Connector, which is designed to connect existing pipelines and provide contracted long-haul service from Western Canada to Gulf Coast markets.

Natural gas distribution and storage

Enbridge identifies Gas Distribution & Storage as a distinct area of its business. It operates regulated natural gas utilities in both the United States and Canada.
