The estimated cost of the additional facilities is approximately $250 million with a planned in service date late in 2011.

    Enbridge’s existing Christina Lake lateral and terminal facilities include two 8-in. lateral lines plus 240,000 barrels of tankage, and connect the enhanced oil project to Enbridge’s Athabasca Pipeline. The Athabasca Pipeline, together with the Waupisoo Pipeline and associated lateral and terminal facilities, constitute Enbridge’s Regional Oil Sands System delivering crude oil from five producing oil sands projects to the Hardisty and Edmonton mainline hubs.

    The additional Christina Lake facilities will include two 375,000 barrel tanks and 26 kilometers of 30-in. pipeline, and will readily accommodate the current and planned future expansions of the Christina Lake enhanced oil project.
