Exxon Mobil Corp. cleaning up 80,000 gallons of oil spilled after pipeline burst in rural La. Apr 30th 2012, 14:00 TORBERT, La. –  Exxon Mobil Corp. says it is cleaning up about 80,000 gallons of oil that spilled from a pipeline in rural Louisiana. The company says the pipeline was shut down Saturday night after a loss of pressure. The spilled oil was discovered on Sunday in Pointe Coupee Parish, northwest of Baton Rouge. No injuries have been reported. The company doesn't yet know what caused the pipeline to break. Exxon Mobil says vacuum trucks are cleaning up the site, and air is being monitored for quality. The oil came from a 22-inch pipeline that originates in St. James Parish southeast of Baton Rouge and carries crude oil to northern Louisiana. Exxon Mobil says that federal regulators have been informed and that the cleanup is being coordinated with the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality.
