BP said that 1,000 barrels of oil were spilled in a highly industrial area in the Port of Long Beach, California.
The company said that the released product, used in the production of transportation fuels, has been contained and that it is working with officials to clean up the release. Locations for possible released product into the environment are being investigated.
Beside the fact that the company does not expect a supply disruption, the leak has also not caused any injuries, harm to wildlife or any significant impact on the environment. No oil has been released into the ocean or its tributaries.
BP said that the product pipeline was in compliance with federal and state pipeline regulations and that the company takes full responsibility for the leak and its cleanup.
