Important U.S. Pipeline Is Back in Business

A 50/50 joint venture between Enbridge and Enterprise Product Partners , named Seaway Crude Oil Pipeline Co., is back in business after being temporarily shut down on Jan. 2.

Along with this capacity increase, Enbridge announced several other billion-dollar expansion plans late in 2012.
