BP NORTH AMERICA/STATOIL NORTH AMERICA BLAST COMPLAINT LODGED WITH FERC BY IMPERIAL OIL AND EXXONMOBIL AGAINST ENBRIDGE SOUTHERN LIGHTS

摘要

On or about May 31, BP Products North America Inc. (BP) and Statoil North America, Inc. (collectively the "Committed Shippers¨) asked FERC to dismiss a joint complaint (OR11-9) lodged last month by Imperial Oil and Exxon Mobil Oil Corp. (Indicated Shippers) challenging the rates and tariffs applicable to the U.S. portion of Enbridge Pipelines (Southern Lights) LLC. Enbridge Southern Lights similarly answered the complaint. Claims and issues regarding the refund mechanism and rate structure have been addressed in prior Commission orders and should be dismissed with prejudice, the BP/Statoil and Southern Lights answers stated. The right-of-first- offer (ROFO) and so-called priority access issues are not ripe for review here but might be raised in future filings, to the extent that circumstances warrant and an injury in fact to an appropriate complainant could be identified.
