Repairs to Magellan Midstream Partners LP's (NYSE: MMP) 275,000-barrel-per-day Longhorn crude oil pipeline have been completed and the pipeline resumed normal operation at noon ET, a spokesman said July 16.
The company shut the line on July 13 after a leak spilled some 1,200 barrels of oil near Bastrop, Texas, a city outside the state capitol Austin.
Cleanup activities began on July 14 and remain under way. No injuries have been reported, Magellan's Bruce Heine said in an email, however, residents from 15 nearby locations were temporarily evacuated on July 13.
The pipeline transports crude from Permian Basin production region in West Texas to the refining and export facilities in Houston.
