Anyone know how “product” is sourced into this pipeline? I assume in Duluth/Superior but that’s not clear. Edit - I think Wikipedia answers my questions.
"Since 1999, Enbridge's Line 5 has transported nearly 80 million barrels of Michigan-produced crude oil. That works out to an average of approximately 14,000 barrels each day."
But, then I found this: "The Enbridge terminal at Superior conveys westernCanadiancrudeoilfromvariousincomingpipelines (including lines 1–4) to Line 5 and Line 6, which go around the northern and southern shores of Lake Michigan respectively." (Wiki.) ...So, I expect the MICHIGAN oil is only part of the total.

“Line 5 supplies 65% of propane demand in the Upper Peninsula, and 55% of Michigan's statewide propane needs. Overall, Line 5 transports up to 540,000 barrels per day (bpd) of light crude oil, light synthetic crude, and natural gas liquids (NGLs), which are refined into propane”
