Company starting to recover oil from Kansas pipeline spill

Payne Institute Fellow Jennifer Miskimins contributed to this article about how Canada-based TC Energy operating a pipeline that spilled about 14,000 bathtubs’ worth of oil into a Kansas creek during a test for potential problems is recovering at least a small portion of the crude.  Canada-based TC Energy has recovered 2,598 barrels of oil mixed with water from the 14,000-barrel spill on a creek running through rural pastureland in Washington County, Kansas, about 150 miles (240 kilometers) northwest of Kansas City. Last week’s rupture in Kansas forced the company to shut down the Keystone system, and it hasn’t said when it will come back online.  December 13, 2022.
