US to order reduced rates on Enbridge oil pipeline

NEW YORK, Nov 29 (Reuters) - The U.S. Department of Transportation will likely order the giant Enbridge pipeline system to run at reduced pressure while an investigation into a deadly blast on the line in Minnesota is conducted.

The system, which carries over 1.5 million barrels per day of Canadian crude oil into the United States, is the main route for Canadian crude oil shipments to customers in the U.S. Midwest and the Canadian province of Ontario. (Reporting by Robert Campbell)
