Background
Enbridge 79 is a 61-mile pipeline carrying light and heavy crude oil from Stockbridge, Michigan, to Romulus, Michigan. Line 79 runs adjacent to Enbridge Line 17 Oil Pipeline.[1] The pipeline has a capacity of 80,000 barrels per day.[3]
Part of the 61-mile Enbridge 79 Oil Pipeline was a 29-mile pipeline that Enbridge leases from Wolverine Pipe Line Company, which runs from Freedom Junction to Romulus, Michigan. The remaining pipeline is new and began operating in 2013.[4]
As of 2022, it appears that Enbridge now owns the entirety of the 61-mile pipeline.[2]
