A leak of nearly 13,000 barrels of crude oil from the Keystone Pipeline near the Kansas-Nebraska border last year was caused by a flawed weld and stress on the pipe from being bent, the operator said

The massive spill, equating to more than 540,000 gallons of oil, shut down the pipeline in December as its Canadian operator TC Energy investigated the cause of the leak in a Kansas creek. “The analysis concludes that the failure occurred due to a combination of factors, including bending stress on the pipe and a weld flaw at a pipe to fitting girth weld that was completed at a fabrication facility,” TC Energy said in a news release Thursday.

The metallurgical analysis did not find issues with the strength or material properties of the pipe or manufactured fitting, the company added. “The pipeline was operating within its operational design and within the pipeline design maximum operating pressure,” TC Energy said. The spill, which leaked into a creek in Washington County, Kansas, cost about $480 million in clean-up efforts, TC Energy said.

Sabotage ?

That why they stop the pipe line because it leak to much that why republicans don’t care just money sign

People do yourself a favor and go on dan bonginos page. If you really want to know . If you want to know why biden blew it up. If you want to know why biden had the fbi hide the laptop story. Because son and father benefit from blowing it up. It's all coming out today.

The Democrats was on fossil fuel has stepped up to a new level. It wasnt enough to shut it down someone wants it destroyed.

Biden stopped the new Keystone pipeline. The left should be happy about this. This was the expected outcome.

Biden blew up Nordstrom pipeline releasing more carbon into the atmosphere than most vulcanos do

Das ist die gerechte Strafe für Nord Stream 2 & es kommt noch mehr, denn Strafe muß sein👊

So who bent the pipe to make it leak?

Don’t care. If Biden can bomb pipelines into the ocean then I don’t have to care about the environment anymore.
