PRESS RELEASE
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Aux Sable Affiliate Acquires Key Assets in the Bakken Area of North Dakota
Channahon, IL (June 3, 2011) Aux Sable Liquid Products L.P., Enbridge Inc. (TSX, NYSE:
ENB), Veresen Inc. (TSX: VSN) and Williams Partners L.P. (NYSE: WPZ) are pleased to announce that
Sable NGL LLC, an affiliate of Aux Sable, has executed an agreement with a wholly owned subsidiary
of EOG Resources, Inc. (NYSE: EOG) to purchase and operate the Stanley Condensate Recovery Plant
and the Prairie Rose Pipeline. The Prairie Rose Pipeline connects the Stanley Plant to the Alliance
Pipeline, which delivers high energy dense phase gas to Aux Sables Channahon, Illinois Plant for
processing. The purchase agreement calls for the US$185 million transaction to close in July 2011.
The Stanley Plant commenced operation in February 2010 and will have a capacity of 80 MMcf per day
when a current expansion is completed in June 2011. The plant removes the heavier hydrocarbon
compounds while leaving the majority of the natural gas liquids in the rich gas delivered into the
Prairie Rose Pipeline.
The 12-inch diameter, 83-mile Prairie Rose Pipeline also commenced operation in February 2010 and
gathers gas from the Stanley Plant and other sources for delivery into the Alliance Pipeline system
at Bantry, North Dakota. The pipeline has an estimated capacity of 110 MMcf per day and can be
easily expanded to meet additional demand.
This acquisition represents a significant step forward in the pursuit of our strategic growth
objectives in the Bakken area, as it provides key infrastructure assets that will lead to increased
deliveries of liquids- rich natural gas to our Channahon facilities, said W. J. (Bill) McAdam,
President and Chief Executive Officer of Aux Sable. With this acquisition, Aux Sable will be able
to directly engage in and expand its role as a provider of value-added gathering and processing of
natural gas and natural gas liquids from the Bakken play.
As the largest crude oil producer in the North Dakota Bakken, EOG constructed these
facilities when there was little infrastructure in the basin. We believe the time is right to sell
these assets to an organization that specializes in gathering and processing, allowing us to focus
on our core exploration and production activities in the region. We are pleased that Aux Sable
recognized the value of both the Stanley Plant and the Prairie Rose Pipeline and are confident that
under their management these facilities will benefit all operators in this part of North Dakota,
said Ray L. Ingle, President of EOGs Pecan Pipeline (North Dakota), Inc. subsidiary.
Each of Aux Sable and Sable NGL is owned by Enbridge Inc. (42.7% equity interest), Veresen Inc.
(42.7% equity interest) and Williams Partners (14.6% equity interest). Enbridge Inc. and Veresen
Inc. each own a 50% interest in the Alliance Pipeline.
We are pleased with this investment in that it bolsters our already strong position in the Bakken,
one of the most prolific energy plays in North America, said Al Monaco, President, Gas Pipelines,
Green Energy and International, Enbridge Inc. The Pecan natural gas infrastructure increases the
accessibility of the Alliance gas pipeline to Bakken-area producers and draws additional
liquids-rich gas to the Aux Sable NGL fractionation plant near Chicago. The investment complements
Enbridges existing Bakken liquids pipeline systems in North Dakota and Saskatchewan. We look
forward to working with producers to maximize the value of their resources in this region.
This transaction demonstrates Veresens commitment to execute on our strategic plans by expanding
our services and presence in liquids-rich resource plays, said Stephen White, President and CEO of
Veresen Inc. The Pecan assets allow us to leverage our existing infrastructure investments,
including Aux Sable and Alliance, and enhance our capacity to provide high-value services both to
producers and end users.

NEWS RELEASE

Mainline System
CALGARY, Alberta, June 28, 2011 Enbridge Inc. (TSX, NYSE: ENB) announced today that the
National Energy Board (NEB) has approved the 10-year Competitive Toll Settlement (CTS) agreement
reached with shippers on its crude oil mainline system.
The NEB determined that the 2011 CTS is consistent with the revised guidelines for negotiated
settlements. The CTS will be effective July 1, 2011.
We are pleased with the decision of the NEB and look forward to using this long-term agreement to
the mutual benefit of Enbridge and our shippers, said Enbridge President and Chief Executive
Officer, Patrick D. Daniel. The CTS will provide a simplified toll structure, certainty and
stability for crude volumes received in Canada, as well as competitive long-term tolls for the
Enbridge Mainline System.
The CTS covers the local tolls to be charged for service on the Canadian portion of the mainline
system held by wholly owned subsidiary Enbridge Pipelines Inc. (EPI). Local tolls for service on
the U.S. portion of the system, held by affiliate Enbridge Energy Partners L.P. (EEP) (NYSE: EEP),
will not be affected by the CTS and will continue to be established by EEPs existing toll
agreements. The CTS also provides for an International Joint Tariff (IJT) for crude oil shipments
originating in Canada on the EPI system, and delivered in the U.S. off the EEP system. The IJT is
designed to provide mainline shippers with a stable and competitive long-term toll, preserving and
enhancing throughput on both the EPI and EEP systems.
More details of the CTS are available at:
