Pipeline Leak in Dunn County

A pipeline leak in Dunn County spilled more than 6,000 gallons of oil and saltwater.

Marathon Oil reported the 149–barrel spill Tuesday at a well it owns about six miles north of Killdeer, North Dakota.

The Houston–based company says the spill occurred on Monday and it is investigating the cause.

The briny water leaked into a dry channel and migrated about 1,500 feet.

There is no evidence the spill threatened water or wetlands in the area.
