A spill of about 3,500 barrels of crude oil occurred in North Dakota, near Fort Ransom, on April 8th. The spill was caused by a pipeline malfunction operated by South Bow. An employee working at a pump station quickly responded to the issue, shutting down the pipeline within 2 minutes. The North Dakota Department of Environmental Quality is overseeing the ongoing cleanup and has isolated a nearby stream to prevent contamination. The Keystone Pipeline System, which runs through North Dakota, transports oil from Alberta, Canada, to the Gulf of Mexico. The incident took place about 40 miles south of Valley City and efforts to bring the pipeline back online have not yet been determined. The spill highlights the risks associated with transporting oil through pipelines and the importance of prompt response and oversight in mitigating environmental impacts.
