ENBRIDGE INC., $43.71, Toronto symbol ENB, announced this week that U.S.-based Marathon Petroleum Corp. (New York symbol MPC) will invest in its proposed Sandpiper pipeline, which would pump oil from North Dakota’s Bakken shale formation to U.S. refineries. Under the deal, Marathon will cover $975 million (37.5%) of Sandpiper’s $2.6-billion cost. In exchange, Marathon will get a 27% stake in Enbridge’s North Dakota pipeline system. Enbridge’s share of Sandpiper’s cost is $1.625 billion. That’s equal to 1.5 times the $1.1 billion, or $1.33 a share, that it earned in the nine months ended September 30, 2013....
SUNCOR ENERGY INC., $36.80, Toronto symbol SU, announced this week that it will develop its Fort Hill oil sands property north of Fort McMurray, Alberta. Suncor owns 40.8% of Fort Hills, and will operate the project. Total S.A. of France owns 39.2%, while Teck Resources (see below) holds the remaining 20.0%. Fort Hills’ reserves should last 50 years. The company will contribute $5.5 billion to Fort Hills’ $13.5-billion cost. The project should begin operating in the fourth quarter of 2017. It should ultimately produce 180,000 barrels a day; Suncor’s share is 73,440 barrels. To put that in context, Suncor’s average daily production in the third quarter of 2013 rose 11.2%, to 595,000 barrels of oil equivalent from 535,300 barrels a year earlier....
ENBRIDGE INC. $42.55 (Toronto symbol ENB; Shares outstanding: 825.7 million; Market cap: $35.0 billion; TSINetwork Rating: Above Average; Yield: 3.0%) invested $23.8 million in 2010 for a 20% interest in the 35-megawatt Neal Hot Springs facility in Oregon, which was then under construction. U.S. Geothermal (New York symbol HTM) owns the other 80%.
The plant, which taps into heat from below the earth’s crust, has now started up.
The renewable energy facility is a small one for pipeline operator Enbridge, which also owns 12 wind farms and four solar plants. But these should help deflect criticism from environmentalists opposed to some of its pipelines, as well as let it steadily diversify into power generation.

SNC-LAVALIN GROUP INC., $44.62, Toronto symbol SNC, rose 8% this week after it said that it plans to sell all or part of AltaLink, which provides electricity to 85% of Alberta’s population through 12,000 kilometres of power lines and 280 substations. SNC could also spin off AltaLink as a separate publicly traded firm. The company did not say when it expects to complete this process. As of June 30, 2013, AltaLink’s net book value was $856.8 million. That’s equal to 13% of SNC’s $6.8-billion market cap (or the value of all its outstanding shares). The sale is part of SNC’s plan to sell some of its less important operations. The company will invest the cash from these sales in engineering projects in areas with strong potential, such as mining, water treatment and oil and gas....
