Incident Narrative
"ON FEBRUARY 15, 2024 AT APPROXIMATELY 17:57, ET WAS NOTIFIED BY BSEE OF A POSSIBLE LEAK IN EUGENE ISLAND BLOCK 295. ET PERSONNEL PLOTTED THE COORDINATES AND DETERMINED THE BUBBLES WERE APPROXIMATELY 1000 FEET FROM OUR NEAREST PIPELINE AND WITHIN 100 FEET OF A PRODUCER'S LINE. DUE TO POOR WEATHER CONDITIONS AND CONTRACTOR AVAILABILITY, WE COULD NOT COMPLETE THE INVESTIGATION UNTIL FEBRUARY 24, 2024. AT THAT TIME, ET PERSONNEL AND THE PRODUCER PERFORMED A JOINT INVESTIGATION TO SEE WHICH LINE THE LEAK WAS LOCATED ON. IT WAS DETERMINED THE LEAK WAS COMING FROM LINE 709 (SEG# 3330). PRODUCTION WAS SHUT-IN AND PIPELINE WAS ISOLATED. ET PERSONNEL DEPRESSURIZED THE PIPELINE. WE ARE CURRENTLY WAITING FOR DSV AVAILABILITY TO MAKE REPAIRS. DUE TO DSV AVAILABILITY AND WEATHER CONDITIONS, THE REPAIR CONTRACTOR WAS NOT ABLE TO MAKE REPAIRS UNTIL APRIL 13, 2024. THE DSV CONTRACTOR WAS ABLE TO LOCATE THE LEAK AND INSTALL A CLAMP AT APPROXIMATELY 21:06. ET PERSONNEL CHECKED FOR LEAKS AND STARTED EQUALIZING ON APRIL 14, 2024 AT APPROXIMATELY 23:27. THE CAUSE OF THE LEAK WAS DETERMINED TO BE INTERNAL CORROSION DUE TO A PINHOLE AT THE 6 OCLOCK POSITION."
