Pipeline Safety - Design

• Route selection
• Environmental considerations
• Soil stability
• Water crossings
• Materials selection
• Pipe specifications
• Coatings development

4
Pipeline Safety - Operation

• Control systems
• continuous monitoring from Enbridges Edmonton
  control centre
• sophisticated leak detection systems
• Aerial and ground patrols
• Emergency preparedness
• Public awareness

Pipeline integrity management
6
Marine transportation safety

• VLCC and Suezmax size vessels to visit Kitimat
  terminal
• Over 60 of world oil supply is delivered by
  tanker with an excellent safety record
• International safety standards would apply to
  transportation within BC waters

7
Marine Transportation Security

• THREE LEVELS OF SECURITY
• Tanker Vetting Process
• Ship and officer screening
• Pilotage
• BC Coast Pilots on board
• Tug escort
• Minimum of two purpose-built tugs

8
Marine transportation safety

• Full bridge simulation by Force Technology of
  Denmark
• Allows crews a virtual tour of tanker and
  tugboat navigation by recreating marine channels
  to the Kitimat Terminal
• Simulation can recreate a wide variety of
  weather, current and ship conditions

9
Terminal Emergency Response

• Contingency Planning
• Oil Pollution Prevention Plan (Canada Shipping
  Act)
• Oil Pollution Emergency Plan (Canada Shipping
  Act)
• Emergency Response Plan (National Energy Board
  Act)
• Response Resources
• Contract with Certified Response Organization
  (Canada Shipping Act)
• Project specific response capability would be
  located at strategic locations

10
Tanker Emergency Response

• Tankers in Canadian waters require
• Shipboard Oil Pollution Emergency Plan and
• Contract with Certified Response Organization
  (Canada Shipping Act)

Gateway Pipelines Project Summary

• Enbridge is committed to providing safe
  transportation of Canadas expanding oil sands
  production to new markets
• Gateway pipeline project is a strategic component
  of this plan
• Project completion expected 2012 to 2014
