Incident Narrative
"APPROXIMATELY 740 BBLS OF CRUDE OIL WERE RELEASED AS A RESULT OF INTERNAL CORROSION. THE FAILED SEGMENT OF PIPE HAS BEEN SENT TO A LAB TO UNDERGO METALLURGICAL ANALYSIS; THEREFORE, A SUPPLEMENTAL REPORT WILL BE SUBMITTED ONCE THE CAUSE IS CONFIRMED. THE NATIONAL RESPONSE CENTER (NRC) WAS NOTIFIED AND ASSIGNED INITIAL REPORT #1182539. A FOLLOW-UP CALL TO THE NRC, ASSIGNED REPORT #1182742. SUPPLEMENTAL NARRATIVE: THE RESULTS OF THE METALLURGICAL ANALYSIS INDICATE THE LEAK OCCURRED DUE TO INTERNAL CORROSION, ASSOCIATED WITH A PIT AND PRIMARILY DUE TO THE PRESENCES OF DISSOLVED CO2. THE MICROBIOLOGICAL DATA OBTAINED DID NOT SUPPORT MIC AS A CONTRIBUTING MECHANISM. THE LINE REMAINS PURGED AT THIS TIME."
