Bloomberg: Shell Shuts Tennessee Oil Pipeline After Leak, Fire Chief Says
By Dan Hart
April 12 (Bloomberg) — Royal Dutch Shell Plc has shut a pipeline that moves oil from the company’s offshore rigs in the Gulf of Mexico to its terminus near St. Louis after a leak was found in Tennessee, said Dyer County Fire Chief James Medling.
The leak, which amounted to about 10 gallons (37 liters) of oil, was discovered yesterday afternoon on the north side of State Highway 104, Medling said in a telephone interview. He said Shell was taking care of the cleanup and repairs of the pipeline.
The spill occurred near Dyersburg, which is about 160 miles (257 kilometers) west of Nashville, according to the Dyersburg Chamber of Commerce Web site.
Shell didn’t immediately respond to a message left by Bloomberg News seeking comment.
The leak was first reported by the State Gazette of Dyersburg. The newspaper said the pipeline was laid in 1963, and was the largest diameter pipeline at 40 inches (101 centimeters) until the 48-inch Alaska pipeline was built in the 1970s.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
