Alberta’s Energy Resources Conservation Board is investigating a spill from an oil pipeline northwest of Edmonton.
The pipeline is operated by the Pembina Pipeline Corporation.
An official at the Calgary-based company says 1,300 barrels of oil were released on Tuesday into an area of Muskeg and a creek in the Swan Hills region.
But the company also says the exact size of the spill is under investigation.
Officials say the Moosehorn Gathering Pipeline has been shut, the spill has been contained and clean-up crews have been sent to the area.
Pembina CEO Bob Michaleski says the company takes the spill extremely seriously and will take action to minimize its impact on land and waterways.
