TC Energy says Keystone recovery rates have potential to slow due to weather

TC Energy said it continues to progress its response and oil recovery effort at its Keystone Pipeline System Milepost 14 Incident site in Washington County, Kansas. "As of Dec. 20, 5 p.m. CT, we have recovered an estimated 7,599 barrels of oil from the creek — 15,488 barrels of oil and water. We safely removed the impacted pipeline segment and have sent it to an independent lab for metallurgical testing as directed by the U.S. Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration, or PHMSA. Like many in the U.S. we are expecting significant winter weather impacts over the upcoming days. We continue to prioritize the safety of people and the environment and will be working safely according to weather conditions. Recovery rates have the potential to slow due to the upcoming weather. The affected segment of the Keystone Pipeline System remains safely isolated as investigation, recovery, repair and remediation continue to advance. This segment will not be restarted until it is safe to do so and when we have regulatory approval from PHMSA," TC Energy said. Reference Link
