据世界石油网站3月13日报道 马拉松管道公司周六表示，公司目前已经关闭了伊利诺伊州一条将原油泄漏到当地运河的管道。
母公司马拉松石油公司在一份声明中表示，周五上午首次检测到卡霍基亚引水渠道的泄漏，并部署了围油栏试图控制泄漏。
伊利诺伊州环境保护局向当地新闻台KTVI表示，在围堵之前，估计有16.5万加仑石油被释放到运河中。
泄漏发生在爱德华兹维尔附近，这座城市共有26000多人。马拉松称，附近没有进水口或私人水井，管道破裂的原因正在调查中。
当局补充称：“部署到该地区进行清理活动的资源包括吊杆、真空卡车、撇渣机和挖掘设备。更多的人员和设备正在前往该地区，以协助清理活动。”

Marathon petroleum shuts oil pipeline after leak in Illinois
Marathon Pipe Line Inc. has shut down a pipeline in Illinois that leaked crude oil into a local canal, the company said on Saturday.
The leak into the Cahokia diversion channel was first detected on Friday morning and booms were deployed to try and contain the oil, parent company Marathon Petroleum Corp. said in a statement.
An estimated 165,000 gallons were released into the canal before containment, the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency told local news station KTVI.
The leak happened near Edwardsville, a city of more than 26,000 people. There are no water intakes or private wells in the immediate vicinity, according to Marathon. The cause of the rupture is under investigation.
“Resources deployed to the area for cleanup activities include boom, vacuum trucks, skimmers, and excavating equipment. Additional personnel and equipment are en route to the location to assist in cleanup activities,” it added.
