Incident Narrative
"APPROXIMATELY 4,457 BARRELS OF CRUDE OIL WERE RELEASED FROM TANK 3600 AT CUSHING STATION. THE DATE AND TIME OF THE RELEASE (PART A Q4) IS BASED ON THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE TIME THE RELEASE COULD HAVE STARTED BASED ON TANK GAUGE, CRUDE OIL MOVEMENT, AND WEATHER DATA. A SUPPLEMENTAL REPORT WILL BE SUBMITTED PENDING FURTHER INVESTIGATION INTO THE CAUSE OF THE INCIDENT, COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH REPAIRS, AND THE LOCAL OPERATIONS CENTER. SUPPLEMENTAL (1): THE CAUSE OF THE RELEASE IS ATTRIBUTED TO CORROSION OF THE TOP AND BOTTOM SIDE OF THE TANK FLOOR. THIRD PARTY ANALYSIS INDICATES TOP SIDE CORROSION AT A HIGHER RATE AT THE PINHOLE LOCATIONS BUT WERE UNABLE TO IDENTIFY A SINGLE CORROSION MECHANISM. TO PREVENT FUTURE INCIDENTS, PLAINS REMOVED THE TANK FROM SERVICE AND IS IN THE PROCESS OF REPAIRING THE TANK FLOOR. SUPPLEMENTAL (2): UPDATES APPLIED TO PART G AND PART K."
