Permit for Energy Transfer Partners’ Louisiana crude oil pipeline revoked

A federal judge in Louisiana recently revoked a permit for Energy Transfer Partners’ Bayou Bridge crude oil pipeline.

This halts a portion of the project following protests by local and environmental groups.

The decision by a U.S. District court judge in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, underscores the growing clashes between energy pipeline operators expanding operations to accommodate new oil and gas flows from U.S. shale fields and environmentalists concerned about spills and other hazards.
