Enbridge Energy Partners LP shut down and isolated its Line 6A, which can carry more than one-third of crude oil imports to the U.S. Midwest, after a leak was discovered.
Crews are investigating the situation, said Glenn Herchak, a company spokesman. He declined to provide information on what the line was carrying and if it was at full rates. The pipeline, part of Enbridge’s Lakehead system, can carry 670,000 barrels a day of oil from Canada to refineries in the U.S. Midwest, according to a company website.
