Keystone pipeline spill in North Dakota sees significant oil recovery

Workers have recovered 29,400 gallons of crude oil following a spill along the Keystone Pipeline near Fort Ransom, North Dakota. The spill, which released an estimated 147,000 gallons of oil, occurred Tuesday. The pipeline remains shut down as South Bow investigates the cause and works with regulatory agencies to ensure the area is safe. The shutdown may impact fuel supplies, particularly in the Midwest, with potential price increases expected. Cleanup efforts are ongoing with over 200 workers on-site.
