HARVEY is putting a new spotlight on a spaghetti-like network of petroleum pipelines that run across the plains and fields of Texas, disrupting the ability of at least two major Gulf Coast conduits to send fuels north.
The 5,500-mile (8,850km) Colonial Pipeline, a top transporter of petrol for the north-east, has closed part of its line after "the pace of supply" fell from refiners damaged by the storm. Meanwhile, Explorer Pipeline Inc shut its lines to Tulsa and Chicago citing similar issues.
