The Keystone pipeline suffered the worst leak in its history when about 14,000 barrels of oil spilled into a creek in Washington County, Kan., on Dec. 7. The company says the affected segment of the pipeline remains isolated as investigation, recovery, repair and remediation efforts continue. TC Energy restarted last week the section of the Keystone pipeline that was unaffected by the leak.
