Dear Ms Yaege
On May 19-23 and June 2-5, 2008, representatives of the Pipehne and Hazardous Materials
Safety Admmistration {PHMSA) and the Washington Utihties and Transportation
Comnnssion (WUTC), mspected the ConocoPhilhps Pipe Line Company's (CPPL)
procedures for their Integrity Management Program (IMP) in Ponca City, Oklahoma
On the basis of the inspection, PHMSA identified apparent inadequacies found within
CPPL's plans or procedures, as described below



(e) What are the nsk factors for establishing an assessment schedule (for both
the baseHne and continual integrity assessments) 7
(I) An operator must establish an integrity assessment schedule that
prioritizes pipehne segments for assessment (see paragraphs (d) (]I. ) and (j) (3)
of this section). An operator must base the assessment schedule on aH nsk
f'actors that reflect the risk conditions on the pipeline segment. The factors an
operator must consider include, but are not limited to:
(i) Results of the previous integnty assessment, defect type and size that the
assessment method can detect, and defect gr owth rate;
(H) Pipe size, material, manufactunng information, coating type and condition,
and seam type;
(Hi) l. eak history, repair history and cathodic protection history;
(iv) Product transpor ted;
(v) Operating stress level;
(vi) Existing or projected activities in the area;
(vh) l, ocal environmental factor s that could affect the pipehne (e. g. , corrosiivity
of soil, subsidence, chmatic);
(vhi) Geo-technical hazards; and (ix) Physical support of the segment such as
by a cable suspension bndge.
(2) Appendix C of this part provides further guidance on risk factors.
o item 1: $195 452 (e)(1)k(2)
It appears that pipeime susceptibshty to stress corrosion crackmg (SCC) was not
appropriately cons&dered. CPPL needs to develop a more robust process and
screenmg tool for determmmg the potentsa1 for stress corrosion crackmg on each of
&ts p&peime systems
(f) What are the elements of an integrity management program'7 An integnty
management progrmn begins with the iniitial framework. An operator must
continually change the program to reflect operating experience, conclusions
drawn from results of the integrity assessments, and other maintenance and
surveiHance data, and evaluation of consequences of a failure on the high
consequence area. An operator must include, at minimum, each of the
foHowing elements in its written integnty management program:
(3) An analysiis that integrates aH available information about the integrity of
the entire pipeline and the consequences of a failure (see paragraph (g) of this
section);
(g) What is an information analysis~ Jn periodicaHy evaluating the integrity of
each pipeline segment (paragraph (j) of this section), an operator must analyze
aH avaHable infor mation about the integrity of the entire pipehne and the
consequences of a f'ailure. This information includes:



~ Item 2: )195. 452 (f)(3)k(g)
2. A. The corrosion checkhst associated with the AP History and Planning
Document does not identify specific portions of the system that represents the
highest risk to each high consequence area
2 B. The Process Hazards Analyses (PHA) performed to identify risks at your
facilities are based on consequences only. The analyses did not include an
evaluation of the likelihood of a facihty release, or how a release could affect
nearby high consequence areas (HCAs). In addition, no discussion of how
preventative and mitigative measures could reduce risks was included in the PHA.
