Narrative
An in-service failure occurred on the whiting to river rouge products line on may 29, 2010. A potential leak alarm was received at the pipeline control center in tulsa. The operator took immediate action to shutdown and isolate the pipeline. The local operations team was contacted and field personnel dispatched to the site. Subsequent calls were received at the pipeline emergency notification center confirming a release. The pipeline failure resulted in a loss of gasoline which was contained to a cultivated field in rural michigan. No fire or injuries occurred as a result of the incident. The affected section of pipe was cut out and submitted to a laboratory for testing. A preliminary engineering analysis indicates that the pipe failure occurred as a result of bottomside mechanical damage inflicted prior to field coating of the pipe in 1953. A re-rounding crack was present within the mechanical damage which was propagated by fatigue.
