BP crew excavates Olympic Pipeline, yet to find cause of leak
Nov 21, 2025 8:32 PM

Nov 21 (Reuters) - BP said on Friday that its

Olympic Pipeline crew excavated over 100 feet (0.03 km) of

pipeline following a leak earlier this month near Everett,

Washington, but have not identified the source of the leak so

far.

Washington Governor Bob Ferguson on Wednesday declared an

emergency as a result of a Olympic Pipeline shutdown, which has

disrupted jet fuel supply to Seattle-Tacoma International

Airport.

"Crews have safely excavated over 100 feet of pipeline but

have not yet identified the source of the release. Excavation

and inspection of the pipeline will continue overnight," a

company spokesperson said in an emailed statement, adding that

the pipeline remains shut at this time.
