Keystone Pipeline Shut Down After Leak Detected Near Kansas-Nebraska Border
The Keystone Pipeline was shut down Wednesday night after a leak was detected near the Nebraska-Kansas border.
“We have shut down the Keystone Pipeline System and mobilized people and equipment in response to a confirmed release of oil into a creek in Washington County, Kan., approximately 20 miles (32 kilometers) south of Steele City, Neb.,” Calgary-based TC Energy said in a statement.
