Narrative
On august 2, 2012 operations responded to a gas detector at oran station on the enterprise te products 20-inch line p2. The gas detector alarm was the result of a leak through event occurring on a 2-inch drain valve, ornva04. Personnel were immediately dispatched and upon arrival at the station they discovered a leak coming from the blow down valve on the pump. The mainline was shutdown and they have closed the mainline station isolation valves. The resulting finding was the valve gate was seating to low or closed too tight when placed all the way to the bottom of the closed position. A spacer or stop nut was installed as a temporary fix to prevent the valve from reaching this position. The permanent fix will be the installation of a replacement valve for ornva04. Purchase and installation is in the process of being finalized now. Note: the estimated cost to operator includes the cost of and installation cost for the new repalcement valve.
