Husky Energy wants more time for report after pipeline leak in Saskatchewan
REGINA — Husky Energy has asked for more time to submit technical reports on an oil pipeline spill into the North Saskatchewan River in July.
The Saskatchewan government says Husky (TSX:HSE) has been granted a 30-day extension on the metallurgic review of the failed pipe and a geotechnical report on the land where the failure occurred.
Doug MacKnight is with the Ministry of Economy’s petroleum and natural gas division, which is responsible for licensing pipelines and overseeing the Husky investigation. He says an extension isn’t common.
“But then again, this is an uncommon incident. We haven’t had one of this scale,” MacKnight said Friday in a conference call with media.
