South Bow settles with U.S. over 2022 Keystone spill in Kansas
Calgary-based South Bow Corp. has reached a settlement with the U.S. Justice Department tied to a major pipeline rupture nearly four years ago.
Why it matters
The settlement affects South Bow, a Calgary-headquartered company whose Keystone pipeline is a key route for exporting Alberta crude oil to the U.S.
Calgary-based pipeline company South Bow Corp. has reached a settlement agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice over a 2022 rupture of its Keystone pipeline in northern Kansas.
The rupture spilled nearly 13,000 barrels of oil, making it one of the largest onshore crude spills in recent U.S. history. The incident prompted a shutdown of the pipeline and drew scrutiny from American regulators and environmental groups.
Details of the settlement's specific terms were not included in the available reporting. South Bow, which was spun off from TC Energy last year to hold its liquids pipelines business including Keystone, operates the pipeline system that carries crude oil from Alberta to refineries in the United States.
