Narrative
This release was a result of the failure of an insulating gasket. The gasket was installed on may 9, 2016 by oq qualified jayhawk employees. Valve replacement was the only scope of work the crew was performing at the time. Per the incident investigation, the crew followed the existing procedures for bolted flanges, however, the installation of the new valve eliminated the valve's contact with the existing support. Jayhawk has completed the incident investigation and determined the root cause of the incident to be inadequate pipe support spacing with a possible contributing factor of inadequate flange torque. Jayhawk is in the process of evaluating mainline pipe support spacing and reviewing the need to incorporate torque specifications into existing procedures. The total product lost from the pipeline was 72 barrels. 41 barrels of free product were recovered and the 31 barrel balance was cleaned up with approximately 286 cubic yards of contaminated material being placed on an existing remediation plot.
