| Spill Description: |
| On September 17, 2017, a release occurred at the Horsetail 07 West Central Production Battery. The release was the result of a gasket failing on the inspection plate of a test treater. A total of 12 bbls of produced water and 6 bbls of crude oil were released inside the lined containment. The test treater was immediately isolated and bypassed, if necessary the gasket will be replaced with a different type of gasket prior to bringing it back online. On September 17th, free liquids and impacted pea gravel were removed and disposed of at a licensed disposal facility. The liner will be inspected for integrity to verify that is was not compromised. |
