Narrative
Approximately 200 barrels of crude oil were released from the southeast gathering 12inch pipeline. The date and time of the release (part a q4) is indicative of the earliest possible time the release could have started based on control center information. A pressure-rated clamp was installed to prevent further release, and a supplemental report will be submitted pending further investigation in the cause of the incident. Supplemental (1): the apparent cause has been updated to internal corrosion based on initial observations in the field. Additionally, a correction was made to part f; there were no employees who failed a drug test. A supplemental report will be submitted pending further investigation into the cause. Supplemental (2): the sub-questions associated with the apparent cause (part g) have been updated to reflect results from the third-party analysis.
