"A leak from a shallow water crude oil pipeline in the Main Pass Area of the Gulf of Mexico has led Chevron to shut down its offshore Louisiana Main Pass pipeline network, the company said on Tuesday."
"Chevron has also shut its Cypress line, the company said.
About 15,000 barrels per day (bpd) of crude oil production was shut in due to the pipeline leak, Chevron said. The company said late on Tuesday it will resume partial production within 24 hours.
Chevron did not reply to several requests for additional information about the leak and its operations in the Main Pass Area."
