Dear Mr. Smith:
On November 19, 2010, Shell Pipeline Company, LP (Shell) experienced a failure of its
22-inch diameter Houma-to-Houston crude oil pipeline near Vinton, LA. As a result of
the accident the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Administration (PHMSA) issued a
Corrective Action Order (CAO), 4-2010-5017H, dated November 23, 2010, requiring
Shell to take corrective actions with respect to its pipeline system.
Shell performed all actions as required by this Order. PHMSA monitored Shell’s actions
to determine that Shell has substantially completed the requirements of the CAO.
Consequently, PHMSA has closed the CAO, CPF 4-2010-5017H.
Sincerely,
R. M. Seeley
Director, Southwest Region
Pipeline and Hazardous
Materials Safety Administration
