The Mid-Continent System comprises the Ozark and West Tulsa pipelines and storage terminals at Cushing, Okla., and El Dorado, Kan. With the the reversal of the Spearhead Pipeline and arrival of Western Canadian crude oil at Cushing, the area is an even more important U.S. terminal and pipeline origination hub. The Mid-Continent System includes more than 480 miles of crude oil pipelines, with average deliveries in 2008 totaling 231,000 bpd. It has 96 individual storage tanks ranging in size from 55,000 to 575,000 barrels. A recent expansion of the Cushing Terminal increased storage capacity on the system to 16 million barrels.
The Mid-Continent System is owned by Enbridge Energy Partners, L.P. Click on "Ownership Map" to the left for detailed pipeline ownership information.
The Mid-Continent System is positioned to capture increasing demand for Canadian imported crude oil via its interconnection with the Spearhead Pipeline, owned by Enbridge Energy Company, Inc. The Cushing terminal is an important supply hub and increasingly is serving as a blending and storage center. During 2006 we will add nine new tanks, increasing our crude oil storage capacity by 3.2 million barrels.
