I was referring to the article in Fuel Fix which stated that Enterprise of Houston and Enbridge could move the oil thru their pipeline. The article stated that Enbridge’s line runs from Alberta to Chicago and on to Cushing, OK. Enterprise is talking about adding a line called Wrangler to move the oil from Cushing to Houston.

I was just wondering if this line had to capacity to handle an additional 500 to 900 bbl/d.

I was just wondering if this line had to capacity to handle an additional 500 to 900 bbl/d.

All existing lines from the Canada and Bakken area are running at capacity. Multiple lines are being planned to add capacity but there exists a significant bottleneck today. Oil is being shipped by rail to move more product but that is more expensive.
