The spill briefly caused oil prices to rise Thursday. Canadian-based TC Energy said it shut down its Keystone system Wednesday night following a drop in pipeline pressure.
It said oil spilled into a creek in Washington County, Kansas, about 150 miles northwest of Kansas City.
The company estimated the spill at about 14,000 barrels but did not say what caused it.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency said no wells providing drinking water were affected and that the oil didn't move into larger waterways.
