US report concludes multiple problems with Keystone pipeline
An American government watchdog found multiple problems with the construction, manufacture and design of the Keystone pipeline.
“GAO found that preventable construction issues contributed to the current Keystone pipeline’s spills more frequently than the industry-wide trends,” they said in a statement.
The report said that Keystone’s four largest spills were “caused by issues related to the original design, manufacturing of the pipe, or construction of the pipeline.”
U.S.President Joe Biden canceled Keystone XL’s permit on his first day in office last January. The project would have transported 830,000 barrels per day of heavy oil sands crude from Alberta to Nebraska.
