      <title>Pipeline Accident Report: Rupture of Piney Point Oil Pipeline and Release of Fuel Oil Near Chalk Point, Maryland, April 7, 2000</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/771545</link>
      <description><![CDATA[On the morning of April 7, 2000, the Piney Point Oil Pipeline system, which was owned by the Potomac Electric Power Company, experienced a pipe failure at the Chalk Point Generating Station in southeastern Prince George's County, Maryland. The release was not discovered and addressed by the contract operating company, Support Terminal Services, Inc., until the late afternoon. Approximately 140,400 gallons of fuel oil were released into the surrounding wetlands and Swanson Creek and, subsequently, the Patuxent River as a result of the accident. No injuries were caused by the accident, which cost approximately $71 million for environmental response and clean-up operations. The safety issues discussed in this report are the sufficiency of the evaluation procedures for pipe wrinkles; the efficiency of the leak notification procedures; and the effectiveness of the incident command. As a result of its investigation, the National Transportation Safety Board issued safety recommendations to the Research and Special Programs Administration and the Environmental Protection Agency.]]></description>

      <title>Pipeline Accident Brief: Hazardous Liquid Pipe Failure and Leak, Marathon Ashland Pipe Line, LLC Winchester, Kentucky, January 27, 2000</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/771548</link>
      <description><![CDATA[About 12:12 p.m. CST on January 27, 2000, a Marathon Ashland Pipe Line LLC (Marathon Ashland) 24-inch-diameter pipeline that runs 265 miles between Owensboro and Catlettsburg, Kentucky, ruptured near Winchester, Kentucky. The ruptured pipeline released about 11,644 barrels (about 489,000 gallons) of crude oil onto a golf course and into Twomile Creek. No injuries or deaths resulted from the accident. As of December 13, 2000, Marathon Ashland had spent about $7.1 million in response to the accident. The probable cause of the accident was fatigue cracking due to a dent in the pipe that, in combination with fluctuating pressures within the pipe, produced high local stresses in the pipe wall. Contributing to the severity of the accident was the failure of the controller and supervisors to timely recognize the rupture, shut down the pipeline, and isolate the ruptured section of the pipeline.]]></description>

      <title>Pipeline Accident Brief: Hazardous Liquid Pipe Failure and Leak, Explorer Pipeline Company, Greenville, Texas, March 9, 2000</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/771547</link>
      <description><![CDATA[On March 9, 2000, about 10:20 p.m., central standard time, a 28-inch-diameter pipeline owned and operated by Explorer Pipeline Company (Explorer) ruptured and released 13,436 barrels (about 564,000 gallons) of gasoline. The pipeline was buried about 4 feet 6 inches under ranch land. The release site was near Greenville, Texas, about 45 miles northeast of Dallas. The National Transportation Safety Board determines that the probable cause of the pipeline failure was corrosion-fatigue cracking that initiated at the edge of the longitudinal seam weld at a likely pre-existing weld defect. Contributing to the failure was the loss of pipe coating integrity.]]></description>

      <title>Risk-Based Maintenance Planning of Cross-Country Pipelines</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/755945</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The oil and gas industry represents a significant source of income for many countries in the world. The industry considers cross-country pipelines, which transport petrochemical products, to be one of their major investments. Hence, there is a need to sustain, preserve, and prolong the life of this investment through good management practices. This paper presents a rational and systematic method for maintenance management of these pipelines. It is a risk-based approach that uses an analytical hierarchy process model to determine the probability of pipeline failure and the expected value approach to determine the expected costs of failure. The method was applied on nine operating cross-country pipelines transporting different petrochemical products. The method is helpful in prioritizing pipelines for annual maintenance planning and in ranking causes of failure by severity of impact.]]></description>
