An estimated 3,500-barrel oil spill from the Keystone pipeline near Fort Ransom, ND, has resulted in the recovery of 29,400 gallons of oil as the investigation continues. South Bow, the pipeline owner, is working with authorities to address the spill. The company has not set a timeline for resuming operations and plans to wait for regulatory approvals.
Residents in the affected area have expressed concern about potential impacts on gas and diesel prices due to the pipeline shutdown, with experts warning of possible price increases in the Midwest as a result. Meanwhile, pipeline safety experts note that pipelines are generally the safest mode of transporting petroleum products, compared to methods like trains and trucks, which have a history of accidents.
The spill has not caused any significant public health concerns, as air quality remains under continuous monitoring. Workers have been actively engaged in cleanup efforts, and the company is working diligently to restore normal operations.
