The spill was first spotted and reported on Thursday around 6:30 a.m. and the 67-mile pipeline was closed, while three skimming vessels worked to recover oil on the surface.
The site of the spill is located about 19 miles offshore, south of the Chandeleur Islands and to the east of the Mississippi River.
