Narrative
On november 11, 2019, at approximately 10:49 pm, a connecting carrier employee reported a release to centurion pipeline company l.P. (cpl) on its delivery skid in cushing, oklahoma, in lincoln county, oklahoma. Cpl isolated the pipeline at 10:55 pm after confirming the release visually. Approximately 0.35 barrels of crude oil were released from the flanged connection on mov-974. All oil was recovered in soil which was remediated on site. No injuries, fatalities, or fires were associated with this accident. The initial national response center (nrc) report number concerning this accident is 1248387. The 48 hour follow up call made to the nrc on november 12, 2019, has a reference number of 1248615. The root cause analysis of the failure has determined that during a hydrotest performed on september 18, 2019, the flange on valve mov-974 was not torqued to specification. The gasket has been replaced and the flange bolts torqued to specification. Due to the time differential between the completion of the hydrotest and the release the operator contractors performing the work were not drug or alcohol tested.
