A Tesoro Logistics pipeline oil spill while carrying oil products into a North Dakota wheat field is one of one of the biggest pipeline leak in American.
The oil products were carried from the Bakken shale play to the Stampede rail facility. And pipeline areas which have been suffered crude oil leak have been closed.
The spill is seen by a farmer while he was processing with wheat harvest on his farms where is a nine miles of northeast of Tioga.
The spill did not have an immediate affection to groundwater sources. And a group has responded actively to the accident at the state Department of Health.
After the Exxon Mobil pipeline leakage spilled 5,000 to 7,000 barrels of crude oil, this spill is as one of the biggest oil leak in the American. The estimation of the leak is about 20,600 barrels.
A huge amount of shale oil and that crude delivered from Canadian has been given much attention to worries of the safety of the U.S pipeline network.
While there are official announcement that lakes, streams or rivers were not polluted. But this is the opportunities for activists who did fight for the clear water supply while the construction of Keystone XL pipeline from Canada to Oklahoma was scheduled.
There is no one who can give a certain cause of the spill or when it will be over among the authorities. The estimated repairs and remediation can be reached to $4 million.
Now the pipeline was shut and thus there was no leak, an official said.
The oil was isolated within a 7.3-acre area, and within the top 10 feet of clay soil.
