The company announced in a statement that “the Odyssey and Delta pipelines would be closed for scheduled repair in early to mid-September.”

These pipelines carry oil from offshore fields and cannot be changed to other pipelines.

Capacity of the Odyssey pipeline is the 220,000 barrels per day. It transports oil to terminals in Louisiana and is connected to Delta.
