TC Energy Corp. restarted a segment of its Keystone oil pipeline after one of the worst onshore crude oil spills in the US since 2010.A section of the line unaffected by the incident, which extends from Hardisty, Alberta, to Wood River and Patoka, Illinois, was restarted, according to a statement on the company’s website. A 14,000-barrel leak forced the line to be shut a week ago.The affected segment of the pipeline remained isolated as investigation, recovery and repair efforts take place, TC Energy said.
Efforts to restart the pipeline system, which delivers up to 600,000 barrels a day of heavy Canadian crude into the US Midwest, had been delayed by bad weather, according to people familiar with the matter. The outage has added volatility to oil markets and roiled prices from futures to physical grades across the US and Canada.
