Incident Narrative

ON 8/9/2021, A GULF SOUTH TECHNICIAN WHO WAS TAKING ROUTINE RECTIFIER READINGS IN AN AREA THAT HAD RECENTLY RECEIVED RAIN, NOTICED MINOR BUBBLING ON THE PIPELINE RIGHT-OF-WAY. THE TECHNICIAN CHECKED FOR AND IDENTIFIED TWO MINOR LEAKS APPROXIMATELY 30 FEET APART. ON 9/14/2021, THE SITE WAS EXCAVATED AND THE LEAKS WERE IDENTIFIED AS GRADE 2 LEAKS. GULF SOUTH ANTICIPATED INSTALLING WELD OVER SLEEVES BUT, AFTER EXCAVATING, DETERMINED TO REPLACE APPROXIMATELY 40 FEET OF PIPE INSTEAD. ARRANGEMENTS ARE CURRENTLY BEING MADE TO PERFORM THE PIPE REPLACEMENT; THE LEAKS ARE BEING MONITORED. THE LINE IS NOT ISOLATED BECAUSE THESE ARE MINOR LEAKS AND THE LINE SERVES TWO CITY GATES. ARRANGEMENTS ARE BEING MADE TO SUPPLY TEMPORARY GAS DURING THE PIPE REPLACEMENT. PART A, QUESTION 10 SHOWS 1 MCF OF GAS LOSS BUT IT WAS ACTUALLY SO MINIMAL IT COULD NOT BE MEASURED. 2/10/2022 UPDATE REPAIR COST AND SUBMIT FINAL REPORT. DURING THE REPAIR TIMEFRAME, A THIRD PINHOLE LEAK WAS DISCOVERED AND WAS REPAIRED AS PART OF THE PIPE REPLACEMENT THAT WAS ALREADY BEING DONE. REPAIRS WERE COMPLETED BY PIPE REPLACEMENT ON 11/4/2021.
