Narrative
On june 21, 2019, at approximately 9:30 pm, a third party trucking reported a release at post station near post, texas, in garza county, texas to centurion pipeline company l.P. (cpl) . The release was from a quarter inch nipple failure. All oil was recovered with 1 barrel being recovered in liquid form while the remaining barrel was recovered through soil remediation. The nipple was replaced on june 21, 2019. No injuries, fatalities, or fires were associated with this accident. The root cause analysis of the failure has determined that high wind led to a utility cabinet falling onto the quarter inch nipple. The utility cabinet has been relocated away from the process and secured to prevent damage to the system during a high wind event.
