The outage ​comes as flows from the ​Permian, the top shale basin, to Gulf Coast ‌pipelines ⁠have climbed amid record export demand due to the Iran war.

“The line has been secured and is back in ​operation. The ​product ⁠is currently contained, and reclamation efforts are ongoing,” a ONEOK ​spokesperson said.
