Enbridge’s Waupisoo Pipeline will transport bitumen from Statoil’s Leismer oilsands project to crude hubs in Alberta, Canada.
Under the new contract, Waupisoo Pipeline will initially pipe 30,000bpd for a ten-year period.
Enbridge said it must expand its pipeline system further to accommodate the full planned production from the Leismer project in the future.
Total bitumen production from the four StatOil project leases is expected to eventually reach 220,000bpd.
