Keystone pipeline operator agrees to pay $26.9m penalty over Kansas oil spill

Reported byGuardian ↗·Sourced by Goodlede

What backs it

South Bow, operator of the Keystone pipeline system, agreed to pay $26.9 million in civil penalties and $40 million in accident-prevention measures over a December 2022 oil spill in Kansas that dumped nearly 13,000 barrels of crude oil into a creek.

Worth noting

The settlement resolves allegations over a spill that already occurred; enforcement of future prevention measures depends on compliance and monitoring.
