Incident Narrative
"APPROXIMATELY 165 BARRELS OF CRUDE OIL WERE RELEASED FORM 16"" STATION PIPING AT CUSHING STATION. THE DATE AND TIME OF THE RELEASE (PART A Q4) IS INDICATIVE OF THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE TIME THE RELEASE COULD HAVE STARTED, AS IT WAS THE LAST TIME THE INCIDENT LOCATION HAD BEEN SEEN AND CONFIRMED TO BE NO RELEASE OF CRUDE OIL. A SUPPLEMENTAL REPORT WILL BE SUBMITTED PENDING FURTHER INVESTIGATION INTO THE CAUSE OF THE RELEASE. SUPPLEMENTAL (1): CORRECTED THE YEAR IN PART A Q4 TO 2021. A SUPPLEMENTAL REPORT WILL BE SUBMITTED PENDING FURTHER INVESTIGATION INTO THE CAUSE OF THE RELEASE. SUPPLEMENTAL (2): THE CAUSE OF THE INCIDENT WAS DETERMINED TO BE INTERNAL CORROSION OF THE 16"" STATION PIPING FROM LOW-FLOW CONDITIONS WHICH RESULTED IN MICROBIOLOGICALLY INDUCED CORROSION (MIC). TO PREVENT FUTURE RELEASES, PLAINS WILL REVIEW THE FACILITY TO IDENTIFY ANY PIPELINES WHICH MAY HAVE SIMILAR CONDITIONS AND ESTABLISH A SCHEDULE FOR INTERMITTENT FLOW FLUSHES IF FOUND."
