July 27 Pipeline operator Enbridge Energy
Partners LP said a crude oil release from its Line 14
was contained after a pressure drop was noticed on Friday.
"Control center operators shut down and immediately isolated
the line. Enbridge emergency crews were promptly deployed to the
site," the company said.
No injury was reported at the line, which is near Grand
Marsh, Wisconsin, Enbridge said.
Line 14, which carries a capacity of 317,600 barrels per
day, predominantly transports light crude oil to refineries in
the Chicago area.
The initial estimate of the volume released on Friday was
about 1200 barrels.
Canada-based Enbridge did not give an estimated restart time
for the line.
