MOSCOW, Dec. 3 (UPI) -- An oil spill in western Russia caused by the rupture of a section of the Druzhba pipeline will not affect consumers, Russian pipeline monopoly Transneft said.
Igor Demin, a spokesman for Transneft, said his company believed only around 375 barrels of crude oil spilled in the Stanovlyansky district of Lipetsk region in western Russia. Repair crews were on the scene and oil transits through the pipeline section were expected to resume by Friday, RIA Novosti reports.
Reports on the volume vary. Officials at the Russian Ministry of Engineers tell ITAR-Tass that more than 1,000 barrels of oil spilled from the rupture while emergency services quote the volume at closer to 750 barrels.
The rupture on one of the two branches of the Druzhba pipeline occurred Wednesday. Officials are not reporting any injuries and said supplies to the second artery were increased to avert disruptions.
More than 100 emergency services personnel are on the scene to control the damage.
The Druzhba oil pipeline is the longest in the world at 2,500 miles. It went into operation in October 1964.
