Spill Description:
Corrosion on a carbon steel filter pod at the Matuz Pit Injection Facility resulted in the release of approximately 15 bbls of produced water. The produced water was leaking from the filter pods onto the pad of the injection facility. Fortunately, the ground was very frozen, there was very little fluid that actually soaked into the surface of the pad. A vac truck was used to recover the produced water that had pooled and frozen on the surface of the pad. No fluids left the pad and there were no off-site impacts. TEP will collect soil samples from the pad surface to ensure that there are no residual soil impacts and that COGCC 910-1 cleanup standards have been met. To prevent this type of incident from reoccurring, the filter pad assembly has been bypassed and will be replaced with a stainless steel spool assembly.
