The Keystone pipeline has been shut down after a leak was discovered in northeast Kansas last week. 14,000 barrels of oil were released.
Approximately 14,000 barrels of crude oil escaped from the Keystone pipeline in northeast Kansas not far from the Nebraska border last week. According to federal data, it is by far the largest amount of oil spilled from any pipeline in the past 9 years and the largest involving the Keystone pipeline ever.
Our primary focus right now is the health and safety of onsite staff and personnel, the surrounding community, and mitigating risk to the environment through the deployment of booms downstream as we work to contain and prevent further migration of the release.Update: 10:00am CT – December 11, 2022 Additionally, crews are beginning preparations for forecasted rain beginning Monday. We continue to work closely with landowners, the community, and local, state and federal regulators. Additionally, we are in discussion with the Tribal Nations and will welcome a Tribal representative onsite to monitor the progress.
Our teams continue to actively investigate the cause of the incident. We have not confirmed a timeline for re-start and will only resume service when it is safe to do so, and with the approval of the regulator.
