Incident Narrative
"A LEAK WAS LOCATED ON THE EUGENE ISLAND BLOCK 307 LINE (TRANSCANADA-ANR LINE 607) AFTER THE PRODUCER SIGHTED AN APPROXIMATE 20 FT. DIAMETER BUBBLE CIRCLE WITH NO SHEEN. THE ANR 16-IN. LINE TRAVERSES FROM EI BLK. 307A TO EI BLK. 305. AFTER THE LINE WAS SHUT-IN (ONE PRODUCER) AND THE SIDE VALVE AT EI BLK. 305 WAS CLOSED, THE LINE WAS BLOWN DOWN. A DIVE BOAT WAS MOBILIZED TO ASSESS THE PIPE CONDTION, LOCATE THE SOURCE OF THE LEAK, AND RECOMMEND A REPAIR METHOD. IN LATE, 2010, THE PIPELINE WAS SOLD TO DYNAMIC OFFSHORE, INC. OPERATIONAL RESPONSIBILITY WAS TRANSFERRED TO DYNAMIC."
