Narrative
At 6:00 am cst countrymark gauger was called by an employee of the terminal about a leak around our pump area. The gauger called the pipeline control room and spoke with the pipeline controller at 6:05 am to notify him of the situation. Pipeline controller dispatched the gauger to the site to get a handle on what was going on. Pipeline controller then called the pipeline operations supervisor to notify him at 6:15am. Operations supervisor then called the gauger to find out what the cause was and what the site might need. The gauger had found a braided hose to be leaking off the pump 1 mainline discharge at the hose crimped end. Operations supervisor then called a mechanical tech and the pipeline maintenance supervisor to send crews to clean up. Operations supervisor and mechanical tech arrived at 9:30 am. Pumps were already down as the batch was completed the prior day. Operations supervisor called the pipeline control room to notify them that equipment would be de-energized and loto placed to isolate the leaking hose and drain. Pipeline maintenance personnel arrived to assist in cleanup at approx. 9:45am. The line was drained and leaking hose removed. A plug installed and cleanup of the oil on pumps and ground. An estimated .5 bbl was released. The cause of the failure was determined to be fatigue fracture in the core tube caused by excessive vibration. The hose manufacturer's evaluation report confirmed this determination.
