Feb 9 (Reuters) - Pipeline operator TC Energy said on Thursday that the December Keystone oil spill was due to a combination of factors including bending stress on the pipe and a weld flaw. The 622,000-barrel-per-day (bpd) pipeline was shut on Dec. 7 after it spilled 12,937 barrels of oil in rural Kansas. (Reporting by Arunima Kumar in Bengaluru; Editing by Sriraj Kalluvila)
