News Release
Smart Pipe Company, Inc. Announces US$12.0 Million Financing Round
With an US$8.0 Million Investment from Enbridge Inc.
Katy, TX, September 5, 2013 – Smart Pipe Company, Inc. the developer of the high pressure, self-monitoring internal pipeline replacement system, announced it has secured an additional US$12.0 million financing round with an US$8.0 million investment from a subsidiary of Enbridge Inc. (TSX:ENB) (NYSE:ENB), a leader in the safe and reliable delivery of energy in North America. The funds will be used to accelerate the commercialization of the company’s XPL-300® series system.
“Smart Pipe is delighted to have Enbridge as a partner at this crucial stage of our market entry. Having the support of Enbridge really speaks to the quality of the solution we’ve developed over the past few years”, commented Smart Pipe Company’s President and CEO, Gary Littlestar. “The XPL-300® is on schedule to make a major impact on the pipeline industry, changing the way pipeline operators think about the use of composite materials to replace old, degraded steel. From the early stages of our discussions with Enbridge, it was apparent that there are many similarities in our respective corporate cultures. Using technology to address the increasing focus on safe pipeline operations and integrity management is part of our joint vision”.
Smart Pipe’s solution is a marked departure from the traditional approach used to remediate long segments of pipeline infrastructure. Currently marketed only for use in North America, the XPL-300® series has gotten off to a strong start after several years of research and development, culminating in the issuance of ASTM F2896-11 – “Standard Specification for Reinforced Polyethylene Composite Pipe for the Transport of Oil and Gas and Hazardous Liquids”. Recent projects have proven the validity of the technology from both an engineering and cost standpoint.
“The safe and reliable operation of our pipeline systems is Enbridge’s top priority and we are continually looking for new ways to improve upon our existing practices,” said Chuck Szmurlo, Vice President Alternative & Emerging Technology, Enbridge. “Smart Pipe’s technology is an innovative solution that economically addresses pipeline integrity challenges in critical areas, while also minimizing the environmental footprint associated with such work.”
About Smart Pipe Company, Inc
The Smart Pipe® XPL-300® class system is the only large diameter, high-pressure composite pipeline system that is manufactured at the job location and is capable of being installed in very long continuous lengths of several miles, either into an existing degraded pipeline, or as a stand-alone system. The “smart” part of Smart Pipe® refers to the embedded fiber optic inspection system that allows the pipeline operator to continually monitor and instantly detect possible leaks, abnormal temperature changes, third party impacts or ground movement in its composite pipeline system. The system accurately locates the potential anomaly to within one meter, giving the operator a powerful new tool in the pursuit of “zero incidents.”
Smart Pipe Company is investor owned and headquartered in Katy, Texas. For more information, visit www.smart-pipe.com or email info@smart-pipe.com.

NEWS RELEASE
Sept. 13, 2013
GAS DISTRIBUTORS REACH AGREEMENT WITH TRANSCANADA TO ENSURE ACCESS
TO DIVERSE, AFFORDABLE NATURAL GAS SUPPLIES AT DAWN HUB AND NIAGARA
Supply diversity and toll certainty will help keep Ontario and Quebec’s energy costs low
TORONTO, ON – Union Gas Limited (“Union Gas”), Gaz Métro Limited Partnership (“Gaz Métro”) and Enbridge Gas Distribution (“Enbridge Gas”) announced today an agreement with TransCanada PipeLines (“TransCanada”) to ensure access to diverse and affordable natural gas supplies.
The agreement includes a revised framework for TransCanada’s mainline tolls and the proposed Kings North project. The revised project, when combined with Segment A of Enbridge Gas’ proposed GTA Project, will provide a new natural gas transportation path through the constrained Parkway to the Maple transportation corridor near Toronto, Ontario, giving consumers in eastern Ontario, Quebec and markets further east, secure access to diverse and affordable supplies of natural gas. This gas will be distributed from the Union Gas Dawn Market Hub in south western Ontario and through Niagara. Details of the agreement will be developed in the coming weeks.
“On behalf of the three local distribution companies, we are pleased to have reached an agreement in principle with TransCanada that will give consumers access to affordable and diverse gas supplies and long-term certainty on transportation tolls,” said Sophie Brochu, President and Chief Executive Officer of Gaz Métro. “Access to affordable energy helps businesses be competitive, supports local economic growth and keeps costs low for families and businesses in Ontario and Quebec.”
While this agreement will increase consumers’ access to affordable energy, Union Gas, Gaz Métro and Enbridge Gas are continuing discussions with TransCanada regarding the proposed Energy East Project which would convert a portion of TransCanada’s Mainline system from natural gas to oil.

NEWS RELEASE
Enbridge to Connect JACOS Hangingstone Project to its Regional System
CALGARY, Alberta, September 26, 2013 – Enbridge Inc. (TSX: ENB) (NYSE: ENB) today announced that it will construct facilities and provide transportation services to the Japan Canada Oil Sands Limited (JACOS) Hangingstone Oil Sands Project (the Hangingstone Project). JACOS and Nexen Energy ULC, a wholly owned subsidiary of CNOOC Limited, are partners in the project, which is operated by JACOS. Enbridge and JACOS have entered into a long term agreement for transportation services from Cheecham to Edmonton on Enbridge’s regional infrastructure. Commercial terms for the incremental facilities to connect Hangingstone to Cheecham have been agreed to but execution remains subject to finalization of the definitive agreements which are imminent.
The newly constructed pipeline will have the capacity to transport 40,000 barrels per day (bpd) of diluted bitumen produced at the Hangingstone Project to the Enbridge terminal in Cheecham, Alberta. First oil from the Hangingstone Project is expected in early 2016, with initial volumes of 18,000 bpd.
“Enbridge is pleased to enter into this agreement with JACOS and Nexen, which provides further confirmation of the sustainable growth in oil sands production,” said Stephen J. Wuori, President, Liquids Pipelines and Major Projects. “This project, the tenth to connect into our infrastructure in the Athabasca region, will contribute to our ongoing strategy of connecting new oil sands projects and expanding access for production growth from the region.”
Pending regulatory approvals, the execution of the definitive agreements, and stakeholder consultation, Enbridge plans to construct and operate a 50-kilometre (31-mile), 12-inch lateral pipeline to connect the Hangingstone Project to Enbridge’s regional system at Cheecham. The scope also includes an optional 8-inch diluent line to transport diluent to the Hangingstone Project. The initial term of the transportation agreement is 20 years, with JACOS and Nexen having the right to extend the agreement in successive five-year terms.
Enbridge is committed to timely and meaningful dialogue with all stakeholders, including shareholders, customers, and employees, Aboriginal and Native American communities, governments, regulators, and landowners, among others, regarding all of our projects, operations and activities. Enbridge will ensure this project is constructed in an environmentally responsible manner with a focus on the safety of our employees and the community.
