Divers sealed a broken oil pipeline after about 44,500 gallons leaked into the Gulf of Mexico, the Coast Guard said. The spill about 30 miles south of Galveston, which started Dec. 24, was expected to have minimal effect on the environment. The oil continued to move away from land and was quickly dispersing, the Coast Guard said.
