Narrative
At 15:00 on april 17th, 2023 magellan operations personnel conducting daily facility inspections discovered product dripping from a pinhole in a low-flow section of the unit 6 header piping at cushing. The leak source was isolated and clean-up activities were initiated. The pipe was removed and found to have internal corrosion. The pipe was sent for metallurgical analysis; preliminary results indicate the presence of microbiologically induced corrosion at the site of the pinhole. Further analysis is underway to determine the specific strain(s) of bacteria present. To prevent re-occurrence the portion of the unit 6 header which contained the leak origin was removed, and blind flanges were installed in its place.
