Depending on who's talking, pipeline companies are either making progress or there's a frightening disaster in the making.

A bad weld was likely what caused a TransCanada Corp pipeline to leak about 64,000 litres of crude oil onto farmland in South Dakota.

TransCanada Corp has shut down its Keystone pipeline after crews spotted oil seeping to the surface near a segment of the line in South Dakota.

Canada's pipeline regulator, the National Energy Board, is under investigation for deleting evidence that pointed to a mistake by its head of security.

The latest in an investigative series: NEB employees are losing faith in their bosses, increasingly frustrated and puzzled by decisions they are instructed to implement.

Newly-released evidence raises serious questions about whether the National Energy Board has been captured by industry, critics say.

TransCanada convinced the NEB last fall to make 34 out of 36 recommended changes to a report reviewing serious safety allegations, with most of the edits downplaying its mistakes.

With up to $500 million at stake, a controversial review of Arctic oil exploration initiated by Conservatives and big oil companies will proceed, the Liberal government has announced.
