| On August 22, 2017, a small hole (caused by corrosion) was discovered in a condensate tank at the TEP PA 41-31 location (COGCC Facility ID No. 335491), which resulted in the release of approximately 7 bbls of fluid (4 bbls condensate and 3 bbls produced water) into a metal, lined, secondary containment structure. The root cause of this incident is equipment failure (i.e., corroded condensate tank). Because this incident is greater than 5 bbls inside a secondary containment structure, this incident is a reportable event to the COGCC. The fluids inside the containment structure are being removed today, and the faulty tank will be replaced. All fluids were captured within the containment structure, and there were no off-site or other environmental impacts. |
