Page 2Failure Investigation Report: Cushing West Tank Farm Release 12/1/2015 Executive Summary On December 1, 2015, at approximately 10:10 p.m. Central Standard Time (CST), personnel from Enterprise Crude Pipeline, LLC (Enterprise), discovered a spill at their West Cushing Tank Farm in Cushing, Oklahoma. Approximately 1,000 barrels of crude oil were released within the terminal, briefly interrupting operations as Enterprise investigated the source of the leak. Enterprise reported the release to the National Response Center at 11:30 p.m. CST. The spill was contained within the tank farm after travelling along the surface of the ground to a retention pond on the west side of the terminal. The source of the release was determined to be a buried steel tank transfer pipeline within the station that had an outer diameter of 16 inches. Stress Engineering Services of Houston, Texas, performed a failure analysis on the damaged portion of pipe, stating in their final report that the cause of the spill was internal corrosion. The remaining portion of the line was evacuated of product and abandoned in place. No fire or injuries occurred as a result of the failure; however, the spill resulted in approximately $291,898 in total damages. Page 2 of 7#
Page 3Failure Investigation Report: Cushing West Tank Farm Release 12/1/2015 System Details Enterprise operates two storage tank terminals in Cushing, Oklahoma, designated as their East & West Tank Farms. The combined storage capacity of the terminals is approximately 3.3 million barrels (MMbbls), 1 inclusive of five larger external floating roof tanks that are leased to Paragon but operated by Enterprise. Currently there are fifteen storage tanks within the terminal that serve as breakout tanks to several crude oil pipelines operated by Enterprise and other entities. Product is transported into the West Terminal through pipeline systems operated by Enterprise, including the Red River Gathering System and the Basin Pipeline. Product can also be delivered to the Seaway Crude Pipeline system that connects the West Cushing Terminal to refineries on the Gulf Coast. Source: http://www.enterpriseproducts.com/about-us/system-map The leak was identified on an 1,160-foot section of steel pipeline with a 16-inch outer diameter that served as a fill line within the facility for Tank 41123. The pipe wall measured 0.25 inches, and was manufactured with a fusion bond external coating; however, the pipeline did not have an internal coating. The maximum operating pressure of the line was designated as 275 pounds per square inch gauge (psig), limited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) 150 components installed on the system. The manufacturer and specified minimum yield strength of the line segment was reportedly unknown. The West Terminal is in the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration’s (PHMSA) Inspection System 1970 under the name Enterprise_Crude. 1 Crude Oil Pipelines & Services.

Page 4Failure Investigation Report: Cushing West Tank Farm Release 12/1/2015 Events Leading up to the Failure On December 1, 2015, at approximately 1:00 p.m. CST, Enterprise started to move product out of Tank 41123. The three pipelines connected to Tank 41123 have outer diameters of 16, 18, and 24 inches. The transfer was scheduled for the 18-inch delivery line, progressing throughout the day and ending by midnight. During the course of this delivery process, Enterprise began a flush into Tank 41123 through the 16-inch fill line at approximately 8:28 p.m. (b)((F) CST. The flush lasted for roughly 30 minutes. At 9:56 p.m. CST, a terminal operator-who was scheduled to take samples from the Manifold A area-detected the scent of crude oil and discovered oil on the ground just north of Manifold A. Emergency Response Upon notification from the terminal operator, operations personnel immediately initiated shutdown of all equipment within the terminal. Notification of the incident was made by telephone, first to operations and maintenance supervisors and then to response contractors and additional operations personnel. Two local spill response teams were mobilized and began arriving at the terminal at 11:30 p.m. with heavy machinery, frac tanks, and vacuum trucks. Crews continued work to identify and sequester the source of the release, isolating Tank 41123 at 11:45 p.m. through the use of manual valves. The oil travelled approximately 1,200 feet from the leak source to an onsite containment area and retention pond. The contaminated soil was removed to an area on the northwest side of the terminal while personnel installed a hard boom across the retention area, removing the oil with surface skimmers. The Cushing West Terminal is not located in an area determined to possibly affect a High Consequence Area as a result of an unintended release. The Terminal is included in the Facility Response Plan written to comply with Title 49 CFR 194; however, the plan was not activated in response to this spill. PHMSA's Southwest Region responded to the site on Thursday, December 3, 2015, to initiate an investigation. Summary of Return-to-Service The 16-inch pipeline was not immediately returned to service following the release. Following visual examination, Enterprise installed a mechanical clamp over the damaged portion of the pipeline on December 3, 2015. The line was drained down and remained inactive, and the damaged portion of the pipe was later removed and sent to Houston, Texas, for failure analysis. With the damaged 16-inch fill line isolated, the West Terminal restarted operations on Wednesday, December 2, 2015. Page 4 of 7#
Page 5Failure Investigation Report: Cushing West Tank Farm Release 12/1/2015 Investigation Details PHMSA’s investigation included a review of the events, the response of Enterprise personnel, Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) operations, and internal corrosion management within the terminal. (b) (7)(F) The release was discovered following the flush performed on Tank 41123 through a third-party line. The flush operation required an attendant be onsite at the Manifold A area. As the flush was completed the manual valve to the 16-inch line at Manifold A area was closed, at which time Enterprise personnel had not detected an abnormal condition at the terminal. At approximately 10:00 a.m. on December 2, hydro-excavation revealed the source of the spill to be the 16-inch fill line. A visual examination revealed a small hole at the 6 o’clock position on the piping, buried under approximately 3.5 feet of soil and gravel. No mechanical damage was visible, and the external coating around the defect appeared to be in good condition. Enterprise ordered a 16 x 18 PLDICO Clamp + Sleeve to facilitate the repair, which was completed on December 3, before PHMSA inspectors arrived onsite. At the time of the accident, the pressure within the 16-inch line was estimated to be less than 10 psig. Enterprise provided records indicating the 16-inch line was hydrostatically tested in 1997 to a minimum pressure of 346 psig for 8 hours. Product is transported to the West Terminal through pipelines owned and operated by Enterprise and Enbridge, as well as through a truck terminal located within the facility. Internal corrosion monitoring at the West Terminal is conducted primarily through weight loss coupons installed on incoming pipelines at the East Terminal: there are no monitoring points located within the West Terminal. Records show that the average corrosion rate in miles per year (MPY) over the course of three years leading up to the accident was well below what would be considered significant. Additionally, biocide treatment was started in 2012. Metallurgical Analysis Enterprise sent approximately 6 feet of the failed 16-inch pipe to Stress Engineering Services in Houston, Texas, for analysis. The findings are summarized here; a copy of the final report can be found in Appendix D. In a final report dated July 12, 2016, Stress Engineering concluded that the hole, measuring 1 1/16 inches in diameter and found in the bottom of the 16-inch pipe, was the result of a carbon dioxide-driven attack. Several pits of varying size were found along the bottom of the pipe sample, around which tests registered the presence of hydrogen sulfide, although the report concluded that this did not influence the creation of the pitting. Chemical analysis on deposits within the pit adjacent to the through-wall defect revealed the presence of sand and chlorine, products likely to be entrained in the product stream. Page 5 of 7#
Page 6Failure Investigation Report: Cushing West Tank Farm Release 12/1/2015 While the year and manufacturer of the pipe were unknown, tensile and hardness tests show the pipe met the current requirements for the American Petroleum Institute (API) Grades X42, X46, and B. The analysis did not discover any manufacturing or metallurgical defects that could have contributed to the failure, and apart from the external coating missing at the defect, the fusion-bonded epoxy (FBE) coating was determined to be in good condition. Conclusion PHSMA concurs with the findings of the metallurgical analysis. The pit immediately adjacent to the through-wall defect exhibited signs of deposit corrosion, common in station piping where flow rates are generally lower than transmission piping and pigging is largely impracticable. PHMSA determined the accident likely went undetected for approximately one hour, and Enterprise’s response was appropriate following discovery of the spill.
