WRIGLEY, N.W.T. - A pipeline has leaked in the Northwest Territories.
Gina Jordan of Enbridge Inc. (TSX:ENB) says four barrels of oil leaked Monday from one of its pipelines on its Norman Wells System approximately 50 kilometres south of the community of Wrigley, N.W.T.
Jordan says the oil has been contained on a small area of the pipeline right-of-way.
She says no moving water or wildlife have been affected and the company immediately notified regulators and emergency officials.
The cause of the release has not been determined and is being investigated.
The Norman Wells pipeline transports nearly 40,000 barrels per day of sweet crude oil to Zama, Alta., and was officially opened in May 1985.
