Enbridge Pipelines Completes Berthold, North Dakota Rail Terminal, Continues Pipeline Expansion Project
08/19/2013
The firm expanded its Bakken Pipeline to increase shipping capacity to a total of 475,000 barrels of crude oil per day. The expansion increased the pipeline’s capacity by 120,000 barrels per day. The Bakken Pipeline carries crude oil from western North Dakota to the Enbridge mainline near Cromer, Manitoba.
Enbridge also invested $145 million to build a rail loading facility northwest of Berthold, North Dakota. Enbridge partnered with Berthold Farmers Elevator to build the terminal which is capable of shipping 80,000 barrels of Bakken crude oil per day. The terminal was built in two phases and completed in March. From the terminal, Enbridge ships crude oil to markets throughout the United States.
Today the company also marked the launching of Enbridge’s Sandpiper Pipeline project. Enbridge plans to build a pipeline capable of carrying 225,000 barrels of oil per day from western North Dakota to Clearbrook, Minnesota, and a joining pipeline that can transfer 325,000 barrels per day from Clearbrook to Superior, Wisconsin.
“We appreciate the major investments that Enbridge Pipeline has made in North Dakota,” Gov. Jack Dalrymple said. “These projects are important advancements in the responsible development of our energy resources. By expanding our rail and pipeline capacity we can better meet the needs of our energy production and further reduce truck traffic, dust and wear and tear on our roads.”
