(CNN) -- An ExxonMobil pipeline leaked an undetermined amount of crude oil into the Yellowstone River near Billings, Montana, prompting a burgeoning cleanup effort, officials said Saturday.
"It's significant. People are concerned," said Duane Winslow, director of disaster and emergency services in Yellowstone County.
But he expressed confidence Saturday afternoon that ExxonMobil would clean the river.
"They seem to be committed to it," Winslow said.

"We deeply regret this incident has happened," said ExxonMobil spokesman Kevin Allexon. "The magnitude of this response will reflect that."
