August 27, 2012 [Reuters] - NuStar Energy said pipeline deliveries of crude oil from the Gulf of Mexico into its St. James, Louisiana terminal stopped early this morning ahead of Tropical Storm Isaac.
“The offshore pipelines are down so crude deliveries ceased about 4 am (CST) today,” said Greg Matula, a spokesman for the pipeline and terminalling company.
Barge deliveries both up and down the Mississippi to and from the NuStar St. James terminal have also ceased as the region waits for Tropical storm Isaac, expected to make land between Florida and Louisiana sometime late Tuesday or early Wednesday.
