Background
The Flanagan South Pipeline is an interstate crude oil petroleum pipeline developed by Canadian energy company Enbridge to deliver crude oil from North Dakota's Bakken region and the western Canadian region to US Gulf Coast refineries.. The 593-mile (965 km) pipeline with a 36in-diameter runs from Flanagan, Illinois, to Cushing, Oklahoma. Construction contracts for the US$2.7 billion pipeline were awarded in 2013, and construction work began in the same year. The pipeline was operational in December 2014 with a capacity of 585,000 bpd.[1]
Route
The pipeline runs adjacent to Enbridge's existing Spearhead Oil Pipeline from the Flanagan terminal in Illinois to the Cushing terminal in Oklahoma, with deviations at a few locations. The crude oil supplied through Flanagan South Pipeline to Enbridge's Cushing terminal is sent to Gulf Coast refineries via the Seaway Oil Pipeline System, jointly owned by Enbridge and Enterprise.[1]
2023 proposed expansion
In March 2023, Enbridge "announced the intention to undertake a binding open season" for up to 95,000 bpd of additional capacity on the Flanagan South pipeline system.[4][5] This would also include the construction of the 15 million bbl Enbridge Houston Oil Terminal (EHOT).[6]
