Arkansas landowners are pushing to resurrect a class action against Texas-based ExxonMobil Pipeline Co., and other Exxon affiliates, pertaining to the 2013 rupture of the Pegasus pipeline.

In their appeal before the U.S. Court of Appeal for the Eighth Circuit, the landowners have brought a breach-of-contract claim demanding repair, replacement or removal of the Pegasus pipeline in Mayflower, Arkansas, because they argue the pipeline is not safe. Exxon’s Pegasus pipeline carries 95,000 barrels per day of crude oil a distance of 850 miles from Patoka, Illinois, to Nederland, Texas.
