Four days after shutting the major gasoline artery between Houston and North Carolina, Colonial Pipeline reported Jan. 17 that the line had returned to service.
“Colonial Pipeline safely completed repairs Friday morning on our gasoline pipeline, Line 1, in Paulding County, Ga., and returned the line to service,” the company said. “Site work, including remediation in coordination with state and local agencies, will continue.”
Colonial cut operations on the night of Jan. 13 after reports of a leak. The company did not report the severity of the problem or how much fluid spilled, Reuters reported.
The line has a capacity of about 1.5 MMbbl/d of gasoline. From Houston, the line ships fuel to storage tanks in Greensboro, North Carolina, for distribution in markets along the east coast.
Line 1 is one of two pipelines along the same route. Line 2 ships 1 MMbbl/d of distillates such as diesel fuel, jet fuel and home heating oil, according to Colonial’s web site. The two lines create a 5,500-mile network.
