Approximately 4,500 barrels of oil and water (189,000 gallons US) have been recovered. The Pegasus pipeline is a 20-inch (51 cm), 858-mile (1,381-kilometer) link from the Patoka Oil Terminal Hub in Illinois to Nederland, Texas. It carries 90,000 barrels of oil per day, almost exclusively Western Canadian crude oil.
