Residents near the site of the worst U.S. oil pipeline leak in a decade took the commotion and smell in stride as emergency crews labored to clean up in near-freezing temperatures, and investigators searched for clues to what caused the spill.
Canada said on Friday it will halt any further public funding for the Trans Mountain oil pipeline expansion, after the government-owned company behind the project said costs had surged 70% to C$21.4 billion ($16.8 billion).
Russia's Transneft temporarily suspended two domestic oil pipelines last week after tainted oil was discovered there, the company says, adding the contaminated flows were localized with no risk to the customers.
