Colonial Says Entire Pipeline System Restarted
Colonial Pipeline on Thursday reported “substantial progress” in restarting its pipeline, which stretches from Texas to New Jersey.
“We can now report that we have restarted our entire pipeline system and that product delivery has commenced to all markets we serve,” the Georgia-based company said in a statement just before 5 p.m. ET.
The system runs some 5,500 miles from Houston to Linden.
Markets reliant upon the fuel it delivers are scattered across 11 states, with spurs hitting major cities like Charlotte, Nashville, and Baltimore.
Cyberhackers attacked Colonial last week, prompting the company to shut down certain parts of its network. That led to the entire pipeline being taken offline.

WASHINGTON Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., an outspoken critic of former President Donald Trump and the third-ranking House Republican, was removed from her leadership position by conference vote on Wednesday.
Cheney, who is one of the 10 Republican House members who voted to impeach Trump over his alleged role in inciting the deadly Jan. 6 Capitol riot, has served as the chair of the House Republican Conference since 2019, under House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif.
Trump and his allies have thrown their support behind Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., to be Cheney s replacement. Stefanik s profile within the party rose during Trump s first impeachment proceedings in 2019 due to her vehement defense of the former president, though her voting record is not as closely aligned with Trump s priorities as Cheney s has been.
