Alberta Pipeline Spills 60,000 Litres Of Crude Into Muskeg, Says Energy Regulator<\/a>.<\/p>\n

RED EARTH CREEK, Alta. – The Alberta Energy Regulator says close to 60,000 litres of crude oil have spilled into muskeg in the province’s north.<\/p>\n

An incident report by the regulator states that a mechanical failure was reported Thursday at a Canadian Natural Resources Limited (TSX:CNQ) pipeline approximately 27 kilometres north of Red Earth Creek.<\/p>\n

The report says there are no reports of impact to wildlife and that a cleanup has begun.<\/p>\n

Red Earth Creek is over 350 kilometres northwest of Edmonton.<\/p>\n

Carrie Rosa, a spokeswoman for the regulator, says officials have been delayed reaching the scene due to poor weather in the last few days.<\/p>\n

No one from Canadian Natural Resources could be reached on Saturday for comment.<\/p>\n

In April, a pipeline owned by the company spilled 70,000 litres of oil and processed water in the region.<\/p>\n

The Alberta Energy Regulator said at the time that the spill northwest of Slave Lake was not near any people, water or wildlife.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
