(Northland's NewsCenter) ---A pipeline carrying crude oil that leaked 1200 barrels of oil into a Wisconsin field has been contained.
A spokesperson from Enbridge Energy Partners reported the oil leaked out of a pipeline near Grand Marsh WI, around 2:45 on Friday.
The pipeline, line 14, runs from Superior to refineries in the Chicago area.
Enbridge emergency crews responded to the field where the oil leaked after Enbridge Pipeline Control Center employees detected a drop in pressure and shut down the pipeline.
Nobody was hurt. The cause of the spill is still under investigation.
Enbridge does not know when the pipeline might restart.
"Enbridge is treating this situation as a top priority," Richard Adams, vice president of Enbridge U.S. Operations said in a press release. "We are brining all necessary resources to bear. Our immediate focus is on keeping our workers and the public safe as we work to remove the oil and clean up the site."
Line 14 was installed in 1998, and has a capacity to carry 317,600 barrels of oil per day.
