Narrative
On 22 august 2017 a contractor was mowing and noticed what he thought may have been crude oil on the surface of the ground. He contacted the local operations personnel to notify them of a possible release. The local operations personnel confirmed the release and contacted the tulsa control center to advise them that they would be isolating the lines in the area. They started pot holing and hydrovacing the affected area and it was determined that the release was coming from the 20' facility tank line. The area was excavated and the contaminated soil was removed. It was determined that 30 gallons of crude oil were released. Corrosion is believed to have been the cause of the release. Possibly by interference by a line nearby. The investigation is ongoing. The lines were bonded together to mitigate the potential of interference. The line has been taken out of service at this time.
