Narrative
At 08:18am and 08:20am island energy blending & shipping console operator received two calls regarding a bad odor. The line was down and not pumping at that time. The pipeline team was notified and responded by arriving onsite at 9:10am. Operations pressured up the pipeline upon the pipeline team's request to 275 psi. The pressure settled at 230 psi and held for 35 mins with no indication of leak by scada, but a pipeline team member noticed bubbles coming from the ground. Notification to nrc made at that time (#1254837). Upon excavating and inspecting pipe surface, the pipeline the team noticed a pin hole leak on the top of the pipe in the area of damaged coating, caused by external corrosion. Estimated product loss was 1bbl, all of which was recovered . Spill did not migrate outside the row (excavated area 10"w x 40'l x d4"). The line was prepped for a permanent repair and a clamp was installed. Update was made to nrc (#1254844). The permanent repair was completed on 8/12/19 (type b sleeve). Update 4/21/19: when the initial report was filed, checkbox for "final" report was omitted by mistake (it was original report plus final report). There is no new information since the original report was filed.
