ExxonMobil completes oil pipeline repair near Doniphan

DONIPHAN, Mo. -- Officials with ExxonMobil have repaired an oil pipeline near Doniphan, where a leak was discovered last week.

A resident near Doniphan found oil leaking in his yard Tuesday. All told, about one barrel -- roughly 42 gallons of crude oil -- leaked from the Pegasus pipeline. The cause remains under investigation.

The repair was completed Friday.

The pipeline running from Illinois to Texas already was out of service after a much larger breach in Arkansas in March, but oil remained inside.

About 5,000 barrels of oil spilled in March. The cause of that leak also is being investigated.
