CALGARY — A U.S. regulator has ordered TC Energy Corp. to lower the operating pressure on the entire Keystone pipeline system.
The most recent oil spill was the worst in Keystone’s history, and U.S. government data shows spills from the pipeline system have been increasing in severity in recent years, to the point that the Keystone’s safety record is now worse than the U.S. average.
He added that continuing to operate the pipeline as normal, without corrective measures, “is or would be hazardous to life, property or the environment.” In an emailed statement Wednesday, TC Energy said it is reviewing the amended corrective action order. That smaller section has been operating at a reduced pressure since it reopened. But Tuesday’s regulatory order means the entire Keystone pipeline system must now operate at a stress level of no more than 72 per cent of its specified minimum yield strength.
