The company operating a pipeline that leaked about 14,000 bathtubs’ worth of crude oil into a northeastern Kansas creek is recovering at least a small part of it

Keystone Spill Kansas

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. The company said it is working around-the-clock to suck up spilled oil using trucks equipped with what essentially are large wet vacuums. Three university petroleum engineering instructors who reviewed the regulators’ order ahead of Associated Press interviews pointed out the testing, which federal guidelines call for doing at least once every five years.

Local farmer Bill Pannbacker said the rupture occurred on his land at a point after the pipe goes under a creek and starts to ascend an 80-foot hill. Mike Stafford, the University of Tulsa instructor, said such a location is typical of where pipes tend to fail. That's because oil contains a little water that tends to separate, and when oil is carried up hills that water flows back down, causing corrosion.

TC Energy used booms, or barriers, to contain the oil in the creek and built two earthen dams to prevent it from moving into larger waterways.

Company starting to recover oil from Kansas pipeline spillTOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — The company operating a pipeline that leaked about 14,000 bathtubs' worth of crude oil into a northeastern Kansas creek is recovering at least a small part of it from what was the largest onshore crude oil spill in nine years. Who came up with the “bathtub” unit of measurement. Should be fired honestly. I too measure things in bathtubs. In bathtubs how much is 'a small part'? One bathtub? Half of one?
