Narrative
On september 7, 2019, an operator was making terminal rounds and at approximately 17:15 noted crude on the ground around the texoma manifold area. At 17:30 it was determined that the crude was coming the booster pump due to a failed seal. The pump was already shut down at the time on normal schedule.

The seal was replaced before the pump was necessary for operation.
