Texas pipeline firm under Fed order

SATARTIA, Miss. - U.S. Transportation regulators entered into a federal order with Denbury Gulf Coast Pipelines - that owns the largest carbon dioxide pipeline network in America - three years after its pipeline ruptured in the lower Mississippi Delta town of Satartia prompting the evacuation of more than 300 and sending over 40 people to the hospital on Feb. 22, 2020. Denbury Gulf Coast Pipelines' 24-inch Delta Pipeline ruptured and released over 31,000 barrels of CO2. DoT's Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration announced April 6 it had entered into the order with the Texas-based company. The order requires the company to meet compliance requirements, such as communicating with first responders who would be responsible for responding to a pipeline incident. Denbury has already paid a $2.8M penalty, the release said. Denbury's network in the U.S. has over 1,300 miles of carbon dioxide pipelines, according to its website. Satartia is a village in Yazoo County, Miss.
