Incident Narrative
"ON AUGUST 28, 2021 AT 11:00AM RV-26 WAS SHUTDOWN AND ISOLATED IN PREPARATION FOR HURRICANE IDA. AT APPROXIMATELY 19:40, AUGUST 29, 2021, PIPELINE CONTROLLERS NOTICED AND RECEIVED AN ALARM ALERTING THEM TO A LOSS IN PRESSURE ON LINE RV-26. ON SEPTEMBER 3RD, WHEN IT WAS DEEMED SAFE TO DO SO, RESPONDERS WERE ABLE TO REACH THE PLATFORM AND ISOLATE THE RELEASE COMPLETELY. AT THIS TIME THE LEAK WAS NO LONGER ACTIVE AND FLARING COMMENCED AT THE PARADIS PUMP STATION TO CONTINUE BLEEDING DOWN THE REMAINDER OF THE LINE. AFTER INVESTIGATION IT WAS FOUND THAT BROKEN STAINLESS STEEL TUBING, DUE TO STORM SURGE FROM HURRICANE IDA, WAS THE CAUSE OF THE RELEASE."
