Narrative
On friday, june 10, 2011, nustar personnel received notification of a possible pipeline leak by an adjacent pipeline operator (teppco). Subsequent investigation discovered a pin-hole type leak on an approximately 1,300-foot steel pipeline segment between nustar's ringling station and ringling junction in carter county, oklahoma. Prior to the leak, the pipeline segment was isolated from the mainline and was not pressurized. The leak occurred at the approximate four-o'clock position on the pipeline and was caused by internal corrosion of the pipe surface. A clamp was installed, and crude oil was evacuated from the segment. Permanent repairs have been scheduled. Update: on wednesday, february 8, 2012, nustar personnel completed permanent repairs on the pipe segment by welding caps on the pipe ends. The segment between ringling station and ringling junction is idle. The cause of the leak was corrosion on the internal surface of the pipe.
