ANR Pipeline
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
ANR Pipeline delivers gas from Texas, the Oklahoma panhandle region, and Louisiana to the Midwest and Great Lakes region. It has two legs, one from Texas and the other from Louisiana, which meet near Chicago. It was sold in February 2007 by El Paso Corporation to TransCanada Corporation.
[edit] Explosion of 2008
On 11 March 2008, the explosion occurred on the pipeline 15 miles (24 km) off the coast of Marsh Island, Louisiana, in the Gulf of Mexico, while the Motor Vessel Jillian Morrison was bleeding natural gas from a shut section of a pipeline into a tank on the vessel. Six crew members of the vessel were injured and one left missing.[1]
