Spill estimate 25,000 litres

Husky Energy says about 25,000 litres of crude oil leaked from one of its pipelines in southwestern Alberta last week.

Spokesman Mel Duvall said in an email to The Canadian Press that cleanup at the site at Cox Hill Creek west of Bragg Creek is progressing well.

But he added the terrain where the leak happened is "very rocky and difficult."

The area where the Husky pipeline leaked is popular for hiking, camping and other outdoor recreation.

Duvall said the cleanup is expected to be done in the next few days and then reclamation work will begin.

The leak was reported to Alberta Energy Regulator last Thursday.

"We take every incident seriously and will use what we learn from this incident to further improve our operations," Duvall said Wednesday.

"We are undertaking a thorough investigation of the incident."
