Narrative
04/10/2011, bp la basin experienced an approximate 25.2 gallon release of crude oil to the primary containment area of vault 17 located in an auto storage yard approximately one mile west of terminal 2. While responding to a call from the operations control center (occ), two bp la basin operations employees observed oil leaking onto the vault floor from the packing of mov 2439. Approximately 2' of product was observed at the bottom of the vault. Pressure in mov 2439 and associated lines was relieved and both the mov and associated lines were isolated. Investigation: following findings and observations were performed during the investigation: mov 2439 is a 24' 150# API 6d adamson chronister pipeline slab-gate valve. Following the incident this valve was transported offsite for disassembly and investigation by facility engineering personnel. The valve showed no signs of damage warranting a packing leak in its current state. The packing was inspected in september 2010 prior to the incident. The valve stem, packing box and yolk showed no signs of abnormal wear or damage. The packing failed causing a loss of primary containment due to normal wear and tear. Conclusion mov 2439 packing failure is a result of normal wear and tear. No further investigation required.
