TransCanada was forced by another pumping station leak to shut downthe first phase of the Keystone pipeline over the weekend, making it an even dozen times the pipeline has had to be shut down due to a leak in only its first year of operation.
“„TransCanada Corp. has shut down its massive Keystone oil pipeline for the second time in less than a month after detecting a small leak at a pumping station in Kansas, the energy and pipeline giant said.
“„The 591,000-barrel-per-day line was shut down over the weekend after a half-inch fitting broke, spilling approximately 10 barrels of oil at the Severance, Kansas pumping station, the Calgary-based company said Tuesday.
“„“The team is putting together a restart plan and they’re hoping to get the system up and running as soon as possible but it will probably be a few days,” spokesman Terry Cunha said.
After a 500 gallon leak a few weeks ago, the company said that it had replaced all those fittings to ensure safety.
