| Abstract | 1999 marks an important anniversary for Enbridge Pipelines Inc. of Canada and its U.S.-based affiliate, the Lakehead Pipe Line Company Ltd.: for 50 years we have been the primary link between the large oil production areas of western Canada and major market hubs in the U.S. midwest and eastern Canada. In retrospect, this strong history of success is chiefly due to thorough and logical planning and choice selection in all aspects of company endeavors. At Enbridge, as in countless other firms in a wide-range of industries, decision making was often the product of expert consensus and years of solid experience in dealing with similar situations. This approach has worked well for Enbridge and our stakeholders for five decades, as evidenced by the reliability, efficiency, and safety record of our pipeline system. However, as the millenium nears, we are increasingly finding formalized processes that integrate quantitative models and qualitative analysis helpful in planning and execution for both the short- and long-term. Several broad trends at the root of this movement include the heightened pace of change; the increasingly complex web of relevant factors; the growing magnitude of the consequences associated with sub-optimal decisions; the need for thorough documentation; and the apparent benefits of a framework that enables objectivity and consistency. In short, an approach that completely and systematically evaluates the multitude of dynamic factors that affect the ultimate outcome of the matter at issue is necessary. Although the term “risk management” is now often used to describe this process, Enbridge — along with many other responsible firms in the pipeline operating and other industries — has always practiced the underlying principles. This paper addresses the background of “risk management” in both the Canadian and U.S. pipeline industry, as well as accepted theory. It also encompasses the progression of risk management at Enbridge Pipelines, up to and including current initiatives. The usefulness of risk analysis, risk assessment, and risk management tools will be discussed, along with the overriding necessity of a well thought-out process, firm corporate commitment, and qualified expertise. Much of the focus will address the ongoing evolution and maturity of a comprehensive and well-integrated risk management program within the Enbridge North American business units. The criticality of maintaining focus on the core business function — in this case, pipeline operations — will also be addressed. In addition, past learning’s as well as future opportunities and challenges will be reviewed. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
