Pipeline leaks 30,000 litres of oil and produced water near Drayton Valley

The Alberta Energy Regulator is reporting that a pipeline has leaked about 10,000 litres of crude oil and 20,000 litres of produced water southeast of Drayton Valley.

The AER says on its website that Calgary-based Bonterra Energy Corp. reported the leak last Friday from one of its pipelines about 10 kilometres southeast of the community. 

It says that the leak impacted a waterbody, and some wildlife were affected. Two ducks in a pond caused by a beaver dam were rescued and taken to Edmonton for treatment. 

The regulator says the pipeline has been isolated and depressurized and cleanup/restoration to the site is underway.
