Gas Pipelines
Enbridge’s natural gas pipelines are superbly positioned to take advantage of growth in the key strategic gas producing and consuming regions of North America.
Through Enbridge Offshore Pipelines, we are growing our natural gas gathering and transmission infrastructure in the Gulf of Mexico, from which we transport approximately 40 per cent of all current deepwater natural gas production. Our increased infrastructure further positions us to transport natural gas into the U.S. northeast and southeast.
Alliance Pipeline U.S., a company in which Enbridge has a joint venture interest, has proposed that the Rockies Alliance Pipeline run from the Rocky Mountains in Wyoming to the Ventura, Iowa area. We are currently reviewing modifications to the scope of the project based on the input we received from shippers. Subject to obtaining shipper commitments and regulatory approvals, we could place the pipeline into service as early as the third quarter of 2011.
