NEW YORK, Aug 15 (Reuters) - Enterprise Products

Partners ( EPD ) said on Friday the Seaway crude oil pipeline

system had resumed full operations after a leak from the

company's oil terminal in southeast Houston earlier this week.

A portion of the Seaway pipeline went down on Tuesday night,

impacting crude oil flows on the pipeline, which runs from

Cushing, Oklahoma, to the Freeport, Texas, area and connects to

the Enterprise Crude Houston (ECHO) terminal.

The restart process occurred in stages and the pipeline began to

transport volumes late on Thursday, the company said, declining

to provide details on how many barrels were impacted by the

leak.

The price of West Texas Intermediate crude at the East Houston

terminal, called MEH, traded at a $1.25 premium to WTI at

Cushing on Thursday, about 45 cents higher than on Monday,

before the leak occurred.

The ECHO terminal is a physical delivery point for Midland crude

oil in Houston and provides crude oil storage to customers with

access to major refineries along the Texas Gulf Coast. The

facility has connections to marine terminals that in turn supply

other domestic and international refineries.

The Seaway pipeline is a 50-50 joint venture between

Enterprise, which operates the line, and Canada's Enbridge ( ENB )
