The lateral pipeline, which is expected to cost around $130m, will commence operations in 2018.
The planned pipeline will be located in a water depth of approximately 3,500ft and will originate in Green Canyon Block 468, 220 miles south-west of New Orleans, Louisiana, US.
Enbridge gas pipelines and processing president Greg Harper said: "The Stampede lateral is consistent with Enbridge’s low-risk business model and furthers our objective to capture new deepwater Gulf of Mexico crude oil plays."
