Globe/CP say Enbridge, rivals see Sask. probe spill

The Globe and Mail reports in its Tuesday edition that a 200,000-litre pipeline spill in southeastern Saskatchewan, discovered on Jan. 20, is now under investigation by the Saskatchewan government. A Canadian Press dispatch to The Globe reports that the province will try to determine why the pipeline's leak-detection system did not flag the leak. The spill has cast a spotlight on the problems with detecting pipeline leaks, an issue that will become more important with approvals in place to build the Trans Mountain expansion and Line 3 replacement. The two projects would be the first oil export pipelines to start construction in Canada since 2008. Pipeline Safety Trust director Carl Weimer says, "The current leak detection companies use aren't particularly effective." A study in 2012 for the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration showed the operators' control rooms detected 17 per cent of oil spills. In Canada, the National Energy Board started in 2015 to track in detail how leaks are discovered. Still, the NEB data are similar to that of the United States, with control rooms detecting 20 of the 128 leaks of oil, gas and other substances in the past two years.
