Spill Description:
The cause of this spill is human error and equipment failure. WPX employee did not close a ball valve on a well unloading line. The backup system, which was a motor valve with a clock set on 30 minutes, failed and did not shut the valve. This resulted in overfilling the produced water tank. Approximately 400 bbls of produced water was spilled inside lined SPCC containment ring. The lined containment allowed for 100% fluid recovery. None of the fluids left the containment; this spill did not impact soil.
