Brief Description
- The Southern Access includes a 36 and 42-inch crude oil pipeline to export additional supplies of crude oil from the Rockies and Alberta, Canada’s oil sands region to refineries in the Midwestern U.S.
- The Southern Access Mainline Expansion and Extension Program consisted of a 30-inch diameter 300,000 bpd pipeline from an interconnection with the mainline system, near Chicago, to hubs at Wood River and Patoka, Illinois
- In 2021, the capacity was increased by adding pumping stations
- The pipeline is twinned with the Southern Lights Oil Pipeline which brings diluents back to Alberta
Pipeline Status
- In operation
- Two expansions of the pipeline in 2015 increased capacity from 560,000 b/d to 800,000 b/d and then to 950,000 b/d.
- The pipeline transports crude oil from Pontiac, Illinois, at Enbridge's Flanagan Terminal, where it receives crude oil from Enbridge Lakehead Oil Pipeline System, to Patoka, Illinois
