Incident Narrative
"ON SATURDAY, 11/29 A MAINTENANCE CREW WAS PERFORMING SANDBLASTING ACTIVITIES IN PREPARATION FOR RECOATING THE PIPELINE'S RECEIVER AND ASSOCIATED PIPING. WHEN THEY BEGAN TO SANDBLAST ALONG THE BOTTOM SIDE OF A DRAIN LINE, THE REMAINING WALL THICKNESS THAT HAD DETERIORATED AS A RESULT OF CORROSION FAILED AND RELEASED APPROXIMATELY 60 GALLONS OF CRUDE OIL TO THE CONTAINMENT SKID OF THE PLATFORM. A SMALL AMOUNT OF APPROXIMATELY 6 OUNCES WAS RELEASED OUTSIDE OF CONTAINMENT AND CAUSED A BRIEF SHEEN TO APPEAR ON THE SURFACE OF THE WATER BELOW. THE CRUDE THAT WAS CONTAINED WAS PROMPTLY RECOVERED. THE DESIGN OF THE DRAIN LINE WAS A CONTRIBUTING FACTOR AS THERE WERE NO ISOLATION VALVES FROM THE MAINLINE AND VISUAL INSPECTION OF THE BOTTOM SIDE OF THE PIPING WAS DIFFICULT TO ACCESS AND PERFORM A VISUAL INSPECTION ON."
