Incident Narrative

"APPROXIMATELY .48 BBLS OF CRUDE OIL WERE RELEASED FROM STAINLESS STEEL TUBING. IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE COUPLING ON THE PUMP BROKE, WHICH CAUSED THE STAINLESS STEEL TUBING TO BREAK. THE PUMP WAS RESTARTED AFTER PLAINS REPLACED THE COUPLING WITH A MORE HEAVY DUTY COUPLING AND REPLACED ALL TUBING ON THE TRANSMITTERS WITH THICKER TUBING. PLAINS IS INSTALLING A LOW PRESSURE SHUT DOWN SWITCH AT THIS PARTICULAR PUMP AS WELL AS INVESTIGATING FOR SIMILAR VIBRATION ISSUES TO ENSURE THIS DOES NOT OCCUR AGAIN."
