NEWS RELEASE
Enbridge Shuts Line 37 near Cheecham Alberta after Light Synthetic Crude Released
Calgary, Alberta, June 22, 2013 – Enbridge Pipelines (Athabasca) Inc., a subsidiary of Enbridge Inc., (TSX:ENB) (NYSE:ENB) shut down and isolated its Line 37 pipeline north of Cheecham, Alberta, at 5:21 a.m. MDT today after our leak detection system detected a potential release from the line.
Field personnel were immediately mobilized to investigate. Light synthetic oil was discovered on the ground approximately two kilometers north of our Cheecham Terminal, approximately 70 kilometres southeast of Ft McMurray.
Initial estimates place the volume of the release at approximately 750 barrels. We are still investigating the cause, however we believe that unusually heavy rains in the area may have resulted in ground movement on the right-of way that may have impacted the pipeline. As a precaution, all other Enbridge pipelines in the area have been shut down including the Athabasca and Waupisoo pipelines.
Enbridge first responders with equipment are on-site and have installed booms which has contained product at the site and the local water bodies. There have been no reports of harm to wildlife.
An Incident Command System has been initiated that will continue around the clock and responders and support resources have been dispatched from Fort McMurray, Lac La Biche, Edmonton, Hardisty, Alberta and Kerrobert, Saskatchewan.
Line 37 was constructed in 2006 and is a 12-inch diameter pipeline that is 17-kilometers long and connects facilities in the Long Lake area to Cheecham and is part of Enbridge’s Athabasca system.
Enbridge notified the Alberta Energy Regulator and are working with them, including Alberta Environment, government officials and local aboriginal communities. Enbridge will work with regulators and our community partners to insure this situation is resolved safely and as quickly as possible.

NEWS RELEASE
Enbridge Returns Line 19 South of Cheecham to Service; Provides Update on Line 37 Response
Calgary, Alberta, June 24, 2013 – Enbridge Pipelines (Athabasca) Inc., a subsidiary of Enbridge Inc., (TSX:ENB) (NYSE:ENB) has confirmed the return to service of the Athabasca Pipeline (Line 19) between Cheecham and Hardisty. Enbridge is making every effort to ensure the effective and efficient clean up of the release on Line 37, and in parallel to assess the existing pipelines that remain shut down and mitigate any risk to determine when they may be restarted.
Enbridge shut down and isolated its Line 37 pipeline north of Cheecham, Alberta, at 5:21 a.m. MDT Saturday, June 22, 2013 after the Company’s leak detection system detected a potential release from the line. Initial estimates place the volume of the release at approximately 750 barrels.
While the cause of the leak has not yet been confirmed, unusually heavy rainfall in the region is believed to have resulted in ground movement on the right-of way that may have impacted the pipeline. As a precaution, all other Enbridge pipelines in the area were shut down including the Athabasca and Waupisoo pipelines.
“In responding to the failure of Enbridge’s 12-inch diameter Long Lake Lateral pipeline in northern Alberta, Enbridge’s first priority is to ensure the safety of our response crews and to contain and clean up the released synthetic light crude oil with minimal environmental impact,” said Stephen J. Wuori, President, Liquids Pipelines and Major Projects. “Various other lines within our oil sands regional system have also been shut down temporarily on a precautionary basis while geotechnical assessments are conducted on the potential for other damage. Our second priority is to complete the assessments as quickly as can be safely accomplished, and to restore service on these lines in order to minimize impacts to our customers.
“The southern portion of the Athabasca Pipeline system was safely restarted at 11 p.m. (MDT) June 23 and operations between Cheecham and Hardisty have been restored. The line segment north of Cheecham remains shut down until Enbridge can ensure its safe restart,” said Mr. Wuori.
The Waupisoo Pipeline from Cheecham to Edmonton is undergoing an assessment today and may be cleared for restart as early as tomorrow. The remaining lines into Cheecham, other than the damaged Long Lake lateral, are undergoing geotechnical assessments and we are hopeful they may be returned to service over the next several days when these assessments are completed. Given extremely wet conditions, an extended period may be required to repair the Long Lake lateral, and other options to support the Long Lake project’s requirements are being evaluated.
Approximately 75 personnel are expected on site today. The release occurred in a remote area accessible by helicopter and all-terrain vehicles. Enbridge is using rig mats to allow access to the site by vacuum trucks and skimmers, which will be used to remove product from the area.
Enbridge first responders with equipment are on-site and have installed booms which have contained product at the site and the local water bodies. There have been no reports of harm to wildlife. Wildlife deterrents have been deployed and the area is being fenced to prevent wildlife incursion.
An Incident Command System has been initiated that will continue around the clock and responders and support resources have been dispatched from Fort McMurray, Lac La Biche, Edmonton, Hardisty, Alberta and Kerrobert, Saskatchewan.
Line 37 was constructed in 2006 and is a 12-inch diameter pipeline that is 17-kilometers long and connects facilities in the Long Lake area to Cheecham and is part of Enbridge’s Athabasca system.
Enbridge notified the Alberta Energy Regulator and is working with them, including Alberta Environment, government officials and local aboriginal communities. Enbridge will work with regulators and our community partners to ensure this situation is resolved safely and as quickly as possible.

NEWS RELEASE
Enbridge Updates Regional Oil Sands System Status
Calgary, Alberta, June 26, 2013 – Enbridge Inc. (TSX:ENB) (NYSE:ENB) today confirmed the return to service of the Waupisoo Pipeline (Line 18) between its Cheecham Terminal and Edmonton and provided a further update on the latest status of its Regional Oil Sands System following the release from Line 37 pipeline on June 22nd.
The release on Line 37, which connects the Long Lake Oil sands project to Enbridge’s Cheecham Terminal, is believed to have resulted from ground movement on the right-of-way as a result of recent unprecedented precipitation levels which exceeded a 1 in 100 year event. Enbridge shut down all pipelines in the area as a precaution. The southern segment of the Athabasca Pipeline (Line 19) between Cheecham and Hardisty was subsequently returned to service on June 23rd and on June 25th, the Alberta Energy Regulator approved the restart of the Waupisoo Pipeline between Cheecham and Edmonton. However, the Athabasca and Wood Buffalo pipelines between Fort McMurray and Cheecham and Line 37 remain shut down as Enbridge completes data gathering and engineering analysis of the lines.
A geothechnical analysis of the pipelines in the vicinity of Line 37 will need to completed and excavation and inspections undertaken, before these lines can safely be restarted. Heavy equipment and crews have been mobilized to the site to augment resources, but extremely wet working conditions continue to pose challenges to response efforts.
With the Waupisoo Pipeline and the southern segment of the Athabasca Pipeline back in service, Enbridge will be able to continue to transport production from the Surmont, Christina Lake and Leismer oil sands projects.
“Given the unprecedented precipitation levels affecting the area, we are going to undertake further work at the Line 37 incident location to ensure we can safely restart the other lines in the right of way,” said Stephen J. Wuori, President, Liquids Pipelines and Major Projects, Enbridge. “Our priorities remain the safety of our response crews and minimizing risk to the environment, while completing the required work as quickly as can be safely accomplished in order to minimize impacts to our customers.”
During the period when the other lines adjacent to Line 37 remain shut down, the loss of revenue to Enbridge’s Regional and Mainline systems will have an estimated earnings impact of $1 million per day. A reliable estimate of the time required will not be available until further progress with excavation and inspection has been achieved.
The cost of containing and cleaning up the light oil released from the Long Lake lateral failure has not yet been estimated. Enbridge carries liability insurance for sudden and accidental pollution events and expects to be reimbursed for its covered costs, which is subject to a $10 million deductible.
