Incident Narrative
"CRESCENT WAS CONDUCTING RISER MAINTENANCE ON EI-259A. A WATER FILTRATION UNIT WAS PLACED ON THE DECK TO FILTER THE HYDROSTATIC TEST WATER. THE FILTRATION CREW CONNECTED THE SYSTEM TO CRESCENT'S PIPELINE VIA A ONE INCH VALVE. THE VALVE WAS LEFT IN THE OPEN POSITION. THE SECTION OF PIPE WAS ACTIVE, BUT NOT FLOWING AT THE TIME. SHORTLY AFTER THE PIPELINE CAME ONLINE, CRUDE OIL WAS DIRECTED TO THE FILTRATION INLET TANK THROUGH THE ONE INCH VALVE. CRUDE OIL OVER FLOWED THE INLET TANK ON THE TEMPORARY FILTRATION UNIT RESULTING IN A RELEASE OF CRUDE OIL."
