Drill Scenario Time

Description

0645

An excavator struck the crude pipeline which activated the leak detection system at the refinery.

0705

A pipeline operator confirmed the line strike and notified the control room. The operator observed crude oil flowing past the lift station and the leading edge had not been identified.

0711

Operations notified security. Security notified the Emergency Response Team to respond.

Due to severity of the event, a decision was made by operations to shut off the crude pump which resulted in the J867 crude feed pump malfunctioning resulting in a seal fire.

The pump was engulfed in fire and the flames were visible from the canal. Attempts by the operator to extinguish the fire were unsuccessful. The estimated crude release was 75,000 bbls. An unknown amount of crude oil reached the water.

O738

The blast was heard at the crude pumps and the tank farm operator is not answering the radio. The smoke and flames from the crude feed pump has intensified.
