On Monday, TransCanada Corp. announced they have closed a portion of its Keystone oil pipeline after discovering a possible leak in the South Dakota portion.

According to the Wall Street Journal, TransCanada workers responded to a “small patch” of oil on the ground about 4 miles from the Canadian company’s pump station in Freeman, in the state’s southeast corner.

The 2,639-mile pipeline carries about 500,000 barrels of crude oil daily from Hardisty in Canada into the U.S., through North Dakota, South Dakota and Nebraska before branching out to Missouri and Illinois to the east and Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas to the south
