The dialectical struggle of history has always, essentially, been a question of how to apply justice to matter. Take away matter and what remains is justice.
My solemn oath to the thread: ne day I will cause an environmental disaster because my pipeline of weed extract oil, the animals and plants will still die, but they'll be loving blasted the whole time. I'd promise not to have an oil spill but better things aren't possible.

Most likely they knew about it for a long time and intentionally chose not to stop it. It was either cheaper to let it leak or it saved some C-level's bonus.

They probably also have some acceptable margin for (small but numerous) leaks, and it's probably adjusted as the pipe ages and also started as a compromise between a guess from some engineers and whatever the executives wanted.

Gasoline pipelines in particular have lots of monitoring systems because people will straight up cut holes in them and suck out the tasty gas to sell, sometimes entire tanker trucks worth.
