OTTAWA - The National Energy Board (NEB) has given the go-ahead to Enbridge Pipelines to reverse the flow along the full length of the existing Line 9 pipeline to send crude eastward from Sarnia, Ont., to Montreal and the Quebec City area.
In the decision released Thursday, the NEB says it will also let Enbridge increase the overall capacity of the pipeline from 240,000 to 300,000 barrels of oil per day, including heavy crude from Western Canada and the Bakken fields in the U.S.
"The Board's decision enables Enbridge to react to market forces and provide benefits to Canadians, while at the same time implementing the Project in a safe and environmentally sensitive manner," the NEB said in its decision.
