Narrative
On 10/28/20 at 4:30am a crude oil release of approximately 4 barrels was located at texoma manifold on a 30-inch tank line to tank 1529. This line was blocked in and not in use at this time due to the integrity department performing assessments on associated pipelines for facility integrity. Operations immediately opened the drain to the sump on the 1529 line to slow the leak. A vacuum truck was brought in to pull the remaining crude from this section of pipe and the maintenance department installed a clamp on the pipeline. The soil under the manifold area was removed for onsite remediation. Corrosion inhibitor and biocide will be injected to the lines feeding this system upstream to prevent reoccurrence.
