Enbridge (NYSE:ENB) and partner Energy Transfer (ET) are gauging interest in increased pipeline capacity in Illinois that would carry more crude to markets on the U.S. Gulf Coast, Bloomberg reported Monday.
The companies are marketing their Southern Illinois Connector project that would transport as much as 200K bbl/day by reconfiguring and upgrading existing pipeline systems, Enbridge (NYSE:ENB) said; the project is a response to industry demand for more pipeline access from Flanagan, Illinois, to the Gulf Coast, Enbridge said.
The open season for the project, when potential shippers can indicate interest in taking space in the pipeline, is open until July 18, Enbridge (ENB) said.
