Spill Description:
A small hole in the floor of Tank #1 was discovered by the pumper during routine inspection / operation of the location. The root cause of the incident is equipment failure. The hole in the tank was caused by internal corrosion. Based upon production water records for this location, it is estimated that approximately 14 bbls of produced water was released inside the metal, lined, secondary containment structure. A vac truck was used to recover virtually all (100%) of the water that was released. The tank has since been isolated and taken out of service. The defective tank will be removed and future water production will continue into the two remaining produced water tanks at this location. The water that was recovered was placed into a different produced water tank at this location. The liner was inspected and found to be intact, and there are no impacts outside of the containment structure.
