The size of the leak, which occurred about 20 miles south of a key junction in Steele City, Nebraska, is currently unknown. The 622,000 barrel-per-day Keystone line is the primary artery shipping heavy Canadian crude from Alberta to refiners in the U.S. Midwest and the Gulf Coast.By clicking on the sign up button you consent to receive the above newsletter from Postmedia Network Inc.

Keystone shut the line at about 8 p.m. CT on Wednesday after alarms went off and system pressure dropped, the company said in a release. TC said booms were being used to contain the creek. “The system remains shut down as our crews actively respond and work to contain and recover the oil,” the release said.Article content
Two Keystone shippers said TC had not yet notified them how long the pipeline may be shut down. TC did not comment further, referring reporters to its release. Keystone’s shutdown is expected to hamper deliveries of Canadian crude both to the U.S. storage hub in Cushing, Oklahoma and to the Gulf, where it is processed by refiners or exported. The shutdown is expected to widen the discount on Western Canada Select heavy oil from Alberta to U.S. crude, which was already weak due to lackluster demand for heavy, sour grades from Canada.
