Enbridge to Provide Pipeline Transportation Services for Long Lake Oil Sands Project

CALGARY, Alberta, September 20, 2004 — Enbridge Inc. announced today it has entered into an interim agreement with Nexen Inc. and OPTI Canada Inc. (the Long Lake Shippers) to provide pipeline transportation services for the Long Lake oil sands project. The agreement will be replaced by definitive transportation agreements and, apart from cost reimbursement provisions, is subject to completion of such definitive agreements.

Under the terms of the agreement, Enbridge will prepare for construction of the pipeline and storage facilities required by the Long Lake Project, including one or more diluent laterals, a crude lateral, blending facilities, and tank storage facilities at a proposed terminal on the Athabasca Pipeline, near Cheecham. Enbridge’s 545-km Athabasca Pipeline will also require capacity expansion from the Cheecham-area terminal to its mainline terminal at Hardisty, Alta.

The agreement provides for an initial contract volume of up to 60,000 barrels per day of crude oil for a 50-month term, with provisions for extension of the term and increase of the contract volume. The agreement also will provide flexibility for the Long Lake Shippers to use a proposed new pipeline — the Waupisoo Pipeline — to move crude oil from the new terminal at Cheecham to Edmonton. The preliminary agreement will facilitate a planned availability for service date in late 2006.

“We’re pleased with the opportunity to provide pipeline services for another major oil sands project. Our existing infrastructure and operating presence in the region, plus our planned Waupisoo Pipeline into Edmonton, enable us to provide low-cost, flexible, as-and-when-needed transportation solutions to oil sands producers,” said J. Richard Bird, Enbridge’s Group Vice President, Transportation North. “Our role in serving the Long Lake Project is consistent with our broad strategy of supporting the full potential of the oil sands by ensuring both adequate regional pipeline infrastructure and access to new downstream markets.”

Enbridge’s Athabasca Pipeline, with ultimate capacity of 570,000 barrels per day, links its Athabasca Terminal, just south of the Suncor plant near Fort McMurray, to the company’s Hardisty Terminal in Central Alberta. The pipeline serves Suncor and, via lateral pipelines, Petro-Canada and EnCana. The Athabasca Terminal has 1.5 million barrels of crude oil storage capacity. The Hardisty Terminal has storage capacity of 1.6 million barrels, with an additional 4 million barrels of storage capacity at the adjacent Hardisty Cavern storage facility, jointly owned by Enbridge and CCS Inc.

The $3.4 billion Long Lake Project, the fourth and next major oil sands project in Canada, is a 50/50 joint venture of Nexen Inc. and OPTI Canada. The first phase consists of 72,000 barrels per day (b/d) of SAGD (steam assisted gravity drainage) oil

 

production, integrated with an onsite upgrading facility using both proprietary and conventional upgrading technologies. The first phase of the Project is expected to produce up to 60,000 b/d of products, primarily 39-degree API premium sweet crude with a very low sulphur content, making it a highly desirable refinery feedstock. Construction of this project is currently underway and first production from the upgrader is expected in 2007.

NEWS RELEASE

Enbridge announces Open Season on Spearhead Pipeline

CALGARY, Alberta, September 23, 2004 — Enbridge Inc. today announced it will conduct an open season for the Spearhead Pipeline project, which would offer crude oil transportation between Chicago and Cushing, Oklahoma. Under the terms of the open season, the pipeline would be placed into service in early 2006, following reversal of the pipeline system that is currently mostly idle. The open season will provide potential shippers with incentive rates in exchange for long-term volume commitments.

The open season will proceed in two phases. Phase I will begin at 12 p.m. MST on Sept. 23 and end at 5 p.m. MST on Oct. 7, 2004. During Phase I, prospective shippers will be provided the opportunity to comment on the documents and will be requested to provide preliminary indications of volume commitments. Phase II will occur between 5 p.m. MST on Oct. 12 and 5 p.m. MST on Nov. 5, 2004. Phase II will involve the execution by prospective shippers of Transportation Service Agreements that will become binding when accepted and executed by both parties.

The open season documents are available on the Enbridge website at www.enbridge.com/spearhead.

Enbridge acquired a 90-per-cent interest in the Cushing to Chicago Pipeline System (CCPS) from BP Pipelines North America Inc. in 2003. BP Pipeline retains 10-per-cent ownership of C.C.P.S., Transportation, L.L.C., which holds direct ownership of the pipeline. Enbridge, as majority owner, will sponsor the open season. BP Pipeline will assist Enbridge in support of the open season. The existing pipeline has historically operated in south-to-north service, but recently it has been largely inactive. The Spearhead Pipeline project would involve the reversal of the flow of the 650-mile (1,050-km) pipeline to transport crude south, from Chicago to Cushing.

The Spearhead Pipeline project would benefit both Canadian producers and U.S. refineries by providing cost-effective transportation for growing supplies of production from Western Canada’s oil sands to refineries in southern PADD II and beyond.
