Enbridge Restarts Saskatchewan Pipeline, Catches Spill Early
Print
|
Enbridge Inc. has shut down and isolated its Line 67 pipeline south of Regina, Saskatchewan at approximately 10:50 a.m. MDT today after a release from the pumping station piping within the Rowatt Station.
Immediately upon Enbridge's detection of the pumping station leak, the pipeline was shut down. An initial investigation has determined the release occurred within the facility, and that all free product was contained on site. Due to high winds, some spray landed on the snow of an adjacent farm field and has been picked up. All regulatory and provincial officials, including emergency response officials, have been notified and the source of the release has been contained.
The pumping station has been isolated and Line 67 was restarted just before 9:20 p.m. MDT. An investigation into the incident is also being conducted by Enbridge and regulators. We are committed to the goal of reaching zero spills, and will thoroughly investigate the incident for lessons learned.
Initial estimates place the volume of the release at up to 125 barrels. There is no impact to the public, wildlife or waterways. Enbridge first responders with clean-up and response equipment are on-site, and expect the cleanup to be completed this weekend.
Line 67 is a 450,000 bbl/day, 36" heavy oil line that is part of the Enbridge Mainline from Hardisty to Superior.
