Bloomberg: Shell Shuts Tennessee Oil Pipeline on Leak, State Gazette Says
By Bill Murray
April 12 (Bloomberg) — Royal Dutch Shell Plc has shut a 40-inch diameter pipeline that moves crude from the company’s offshore rigs in the Gulf of Mexico to its terminus near St. Louis, Missouri after a leak was found near the town of Dyersburg, Tennessee, the State Gazette newspaper said.
About 10 gallons of leaked oil were discovered yesterday on the north side of State Highway 104 following a routine inspection, the newspaper said, citing Shell spokesman Gary Stovall. Shell shuttered the pipeline on safety concerns, the newspaper said.
The pipeline, which is buried five feet below the surface, was laid in 1963 and was the largest diameter pipeline in the U.S. until construction of the 48-inch Alaska pipeline in the 1970s, the newspaper said.

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.
