RE: Vapour Pressure Specification Update #2

Further to the December 15th announcement regarding vapour pressure measurement, Enbridge
has conducted further discussions with select Shippers and Industry specialists. As a result, the
reporting of DVPE (Dry Vapour Pressure Equivalent) for vapour pressure measurement for the
Southern Lights Pipeline and CRW pool will now be accepted. The changes are highlighted below
and will be effective immediately.

Southern Lights Pipeline System

Enbridge will retain the maximum vapour pressure specification of 103kPa on the Southern Lights Pipeline
system. The accepted test methodology will be ASTM D5191. The vapour pressure results will be reported
as a DVPE (Dry Vapour Pressure Equivalent).

Mainline System + CRW Pool

1. Enbridge will implement seasonal adjustments to the maximum vapour pressure specification on the
mainline as follows:

(a) May 1st to September 15th: All crude petroleum injections into the mainline will be subjected to
a maximum vapour pressure specification of 95kPa; and
(b) September 16th to April 30th: All crude petroleum injections into the mainline will be subjected
to a maximum vapour pressure specification of 103kPa

The accepted testing methodology for both seasonal time periods will be ASTM D6377 at 37.8oC with a 4:1
vapour to liquid ratio. The vapour pressure results will be reported as the Vapour Pressure of Crude Oil
(VPCR). Samples will be obtained by single-phase sampling equipment.

2. Enbridge will retain the maximum vapour pressure specification of 103kPa on all condensate receipts
year round.

The accepted test methodology will be ASTM D5191. The vapour pressure results will be reported as a
DVPE (Dry Vapour Pressure Equivalent).

Re: Revision to Quality Specifications for Component Streams to the

Enbridge Condensate (CRW) Pool

As communicated previously with respect to quality of component streams to the

CRW Pool:

New specifications and the associated monitoring and enforcement

program for CRW streams were implemented on July 1, 2010. The
exception was the Mercaptans specification which will take effect January
1, 2011.
The specifications and monitoring and enforcement program may be
revised from time to time as required.
The Enbridge CRW Committee will continue to convene, when required,
to discuss and possibly modify specifications and/or testing, monitoring
and enforcement protocols driven by changing market conditions.

As a result of Committee and Industry discussion the following revisions are

being implemented effective January 1, 2011.

1. The upper density limit for component streams to the CRW Pool is being
lowered to 775 kg/m3. Please note densities greater than 775 kg/m3 but
less than 800 kg/m3 are acceptable providing the conditions outlined in
the Comments column of the Quality Specifications for Component
Streams to the CRW Pool table are met.
2. The specification for C1, C2, and C3 Volatile Mercaptans will continue to
proceed as planned on January 1, 2011 as 175 ppm but the enforcement
action was revised to Report Only. The Committee will evaluate test
results to determine the appropriate specification going forward.

Enbridge provides Shipper Information System (SIS) notices to its Shippers in an effort to assist them in managing their
business. These SIS notices are intended solely for Enbridge Shippers and are not intended for redistribution, public
consumption or use by media and as such are not official. Enbridge will not confirm or update any SIS notice information
to outside parties not intended to receive SIS notices. Enbridge reserves the right to discontinue these updates without
notice.
 3. Total Suspended Solids will be replaced with Filterable Solids and a new
modification to the test method ASTM 4807 is referenced for sample
preparation identified as Procedure C (see attachment to specification
table).

In addition to Mercaptans as mentioned above the Committee also continues to

review the most appropriate way to deal with potential for false positive test
results for Olefins in certain condensates.

The revised specification table and referenced attachments can be found at the
following location on OM2/SIS:

SIS Reports > Operations > Pipeline Reports - Mainline System and Line 9

If you have any questions please let me know at the contact particulars at the top
of this letter.

Re: Specification Limiting Phosphorus Content in Western Canadian Light Sweet Crude

CAPP has adopted a specification limiting phosphorus content, specifically volatile phosphorus (as defined
below), in western Canadian light sweet crude oil streams. The specification is as follows:

Volatile phosphorus is defined as the phosphorus concentration in the distillate fraction of crude oil
collected from the initial boiling point (IBP) to 250C.
Western Canadian crude oil that is to be shipped as part of a common light sweet crude stream must not
exceed 0.5 mass parts per million volatile phosphorus upon delivery to a common stream. Based on the
current accuracy of the test method used to measure volatile phosphorus (currently +/- 1 mass ppm), a
test result greater than 1.5 mass ppm in the volatile fraction as determined by the attached test method is
deemed to exceed specification.

CAPP members are working in cooperation with industry to achieve this specification and western Canadian
pipelines will begin enforcement starting January 1, 2007. As of this date, operators delivering to common
light sweet crude streams must either meet specification or proceed with one of two options:
1. Provide a remediation plan for meeting specification within a defined timeframe and continue deliveries
2. Discontinue deliveries until their crude meets the new specification

Background:

Volatile phosphorus has been identified as a crude quality issue that negatively impacts the value of western
Canadian light sweet crude oil. Volatile phosphorus is not a naturally occurring material, but is found in
chemicals used in the oil and gas industry. For the purposes of this specification, it has been defined as
phosphorus remaining in crude oil after it is distilled. The issue identified is that phosphorus in distilled crude
oil forms deposits in refinery distillation towers resulting in refinery outages. CAPP with the support of
producers, the Canadian Crude Quality Technical Association (CCQTA) and pipelines has been examining
options to address this matter. A trial monitoring program has been undertaken by Pembina Pipeline and
Rainbow Pipeline and test results are available by contacting the pipeline companies directly.

For additional information on options available to reduce volatile phosphorus concentrations in light sweet
crude oil please refer to the CCQTA website www.ccqta.com and refer to the phosphorus section. For
general enquiries regarding this specification please contact me directly at (403) 267-1140.
