In November 2007, Enbridge Pipelines (Athabasca) Inc. (“Enbridge Athabasca”) was selected by Fort Hills Energy L.P. (“FHELP”) to develop the Fort Hills Pipeline Project (the “Project”) to provide pipeline transportation services for the proposed Fort Hills Oil Sands Project mine and upgrader.

Enbridge Athabasca applied to the Energy Resources Conservation Board (“ERCB”) in June 2008 to construct and operate the Fort Hills Delivery System and the Sturgeon Delivery System, the two proposed pipeline systems that comprise the Project.

FHELP is in the process of reviewing the cost, design, and schedule of the project in order to assess potential synergies, efficiencies and cost reductions. Although FHELP continues to evaluate the overall Fort Hills project, Enbridge Athabasca has formally withdrawn its Project regulatory applications considering the original construction period and planned in service date are no longer achievable.

Enbridge remains the pipeline transportation service provider for the Fort Hills Pipeline Project.  Once FHELP has completed its assessment of the overall Fort Hills project, Enbridge Athabasca may then initiate a new public engagement program and advise of expected timelines for filing new regulatory applications and for construction.
