Narrative
A magellan coorinator of operations and maintenance was flying the line with an aerial patrol pilot to view conditions of the right of way when he saw what appeared to be a stain on the ground over the pipeline. Subsequent excavation of the spot revealed the line was leaking from a pin-hole in the pipe seam. The line was reapaired by removing the defective pipe and installing a piece of new, pre-tested pipe and returned to service. Metallurgical analysis indicated the cause of the release was from a copper penetrator in the erw longitudinal seam during pipe manufacture. The copper prevented a complete bond from forming in the seam and resulted in a weakened microstructure, which ultimately failed. The impacted soil was remediated in accordance with company and state guidelines.
