Narrative
This failure occurred on the tank manifold piping at the odessa crude terminal and did not affect mainline pipeline operations. The failure mechanism was internal corrosion. The mop in this section of pipe is 285 psig and the line was not overpressured prior to the failure. The section of pipe which failed was isolated, drained and a clamp was installed. To prevent further leakage and excess spill crude recovered via a vacuum truck. To prevent internal corrosion on this line segment in the future, a new section of pipe has been constructed, hydrotested and internally coated. The new pipe segment will be installed by december 1. Update - 12/30/2014 - the section of pipe which corroded and leak has been replaced with a new section of pipe which has been internally coated to prevent internal corrosion (which was the corrosion mechanism of this failure). Update - 5/4/2015 - this is submittal of a supplemental report at the request of jocelyn kerl so as to change the report to the long form which requires more information. No previous submitted information was changed, only new information added per the requirements of the long form.
