Husky Energy set to repair pipeline that spilled crude into river a year ago
CALGARY — Husky Energy (TSX:HSE) says it has been granted permission to repair and replace a section of pipeline that leaked 225,000 litres of crude in Saskatchewan just over a year ago.
Chief executive Robert Peabody said that it will be applying lessons learned from the spill on the rebuild.
“My mother used to tell me this, learn from your mistakes and don’t do it again,” Peabody told a conference call Friday to discuss Husky’s latest financial results.
With the pipeline out of commission, Husky has been relying on tanker trucks to transport crude the final leg to Lloydminster, Sask., until it is repaired and permission is granted by the government to resume operations.
