Shell says Ho-Ho pipeline shut after leak in Texas [March 08, 2014] NEW YORK (Reuters) — Royal Dutch Shell <RDSA.L> on Friday said construction crew members punctured its Houston-to-Houma (Ho-Ho) pipeline near Port Neches, Texas, on Thursday afternoon, releasing 364 barrels of crude oil. |

The company said it shut the pipeline after the
leak. Emergency crews and first responders were deployed to the
scene and are using absorbent booms to contain the oil, Shell
said. The Ho-Ho system includes a 360,000-barrel-per-day (bpd)
pipeline from Port Neches, Texas, to Houma, Louisiana, and a
500,000-bpd line from Houma to the Louisiana Offshore Oil Port's
(LOOP) hub in Clovelly, Louisiana. Another 300,000-bpd segment carries crude from the Houma
terminal to St. James, Louisiana. (Reporting by Selam Gebrekidan; editing by Franklin Paul) [© 2014 Thomson Reuters. All rights reserved.] Copyright 2014 Reuters. All rights reserved. This material may not be published,
