Incident Narrative
"ON 12/22/2014 AT APPROXIMATELY 21:30, A MMP OPERATOR ARRIVED AT THE CUSHING SOUTH FACILITY TO VERIFY A VALVE LINE UP IN PREPARATION FOR A PIPELINE RECEIPT. UPON ARRIVAL, HE NOTICED OIL FLOWING FROM A FLANGED CONNECTION IN THE MANIFOLD. THE CONTROL CENTER IMMEDIATELY CLOSED ALL VALVES AT THE FACILITY. EMERGENCY RESPONSE RESOURCES WERE DISPATCHED TO THE SITE. AFTER INSPECTION AND INVESTIGATION, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE BOLTS ON THE FLANGE WERE NOT TORQUED APPROPRIATELY DURING A CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITY THE PREVIOUS WEEK. THE GASKET AND BOLTS WERE REPLACED ON THE FLANGE IN QUESTION. BOLTS WERE THEN TORQUED TO SPECIFICATION. WE HAVE IMPLEMENTED A NEW PROCESS WITH A CHECKLIST TO ENSURE THAT ALL FLANGE BOLTS ARE TORQUED TO THE APPROPRIATE SPECIFICATION."
