THE LEAK WAS CAUSED BY A PINHOLE LEAK RESULTING FROM INTERNAL CORROSION. REPAIR WAS COMPLETED BY INSTALLING LEAK CLAMPS. THE HURRICANE CAUSED A TEMPORARY LOSS OF COMMUNICATION TO THE PLATFORMS IN THE AREA OF THE LEAK. AS A RESULT, THE SCADA SYSTEM FOR THIS PIPELINE WAS NOT FULLY FUNCTIONAL AT THE TIME THE LEAK WAS DISCOVERED.\n\nPHMSA trend classification: significant incident, not serious.\n\nPHMSA standardized cause: CORROSION — INTERNAL.\n\nPHMSA indexed costs: $444,913 reported total cost, $240,196.727 in 1984 dollars, $571,932.423 in current-year dollars.\n\nPHMSA trend flags, standardized causes, and indexed costs are analytical fields added to operator-reported incident data. They do not represent final agency causal findings.","truncated":false,"body_characters":1435}
