Keystone Pipeline back up and running after oil spill in rural Kansas creek

A damaged section of the Keystone Pipeline that spewed about 14,000 barrels of oil into a Kansas creek has been repaired, Canadian pipeline operator TC Energy announced Thursday.

"After completing repairs, inspections and testing we proceeded with a controlled restart of the Cushing Extension, safely returning the Keystone Pipeline to service today," TC Energy said.

The company said the pipeline system, which stretches more than 2,600 miles from Canada to the U.S., is "operational to all delivery points," and that it plans to introduce more "risk-mitigation" such as reducing the operating pressures.
