In an updated report from Reuters Aug. 28, Boardwalk Pipeline Partners LP said three contractors suffered minor injuries after a fire at a natural gas pipeline near Marsh Island in Louisiana. The company originally reported the incident on Aug. 27.
The line has been shut in and there is no time line for resumption of operations, the company added.
The U.S. Coast Guard said earlier that day they responded to the natural gas pipeline fire, 25 miles south of Marsh Island on the night of Aug. 26.
The 10-inch pipeline belongs to Gulf South Pipeline Co, a wholly owned subsidiary of Boardwalk Pipeline.
The Gulf South Pipeline system includes about 7,400 miles of pipeline with an average daily throughput of approximately 2.9 billion cubic feet (Bcf) per day as of 2013. It gathers gas from basins between Texas and Alabama and delivers to markets in the Northeast and Southeast, according to the company website, Reuters said Aug. 28.
Customers were not affected by the incident, and the cause of the fire will not be disclosed until an investigation is completed, the company said Aug. 27.
