Canadian pipeline operator Enbridge is boosting its gas storage capacity along the Gulf Coast. It acquired a 35-Bcf salt cavern storage facility in Texas for $335 million. Embridge has taken advantage of other companies shedding non-core midstream assets recently, but we're wondering what will the company buy next?
