Canada-based TC Energy said Dec. 30 that it has fully restarted the Keystone pipeline after a Dec. 7 rupture that spilled about 14,000 barrels, or more than 588,000 gallons, of crude oil into Mill Creek in Washington County, Kan., and sprayed nearby areas following an alarm and a drop in pressure.
After completing repairs, inspection, testing and a controlled restart of its affected extension to Cushing, Okla., the line is operating under plans approved by the U.S. Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration, the Calgary company said in a statement.
