Enbridge Line 5 and line 6 are tarsands oil diluted with natural gas condensate which is commonly called dilbit. The most common diluent used to dilute bitumen is natural gas condensate (NGC), especially the naphtha component. It will be illegal for Enbridge and a breach of contract if they ever transport anything else and beyond what being disclosed above.
The US has the most capacity to refine bitumen in the world. In the US, 59 of the 134 refineries are equipped with coker units. Approximately 30% of the US's bitumen refining capacity is in the nine Gulf of Mexico refineries.
