Incident Events

Date Detail
01/20/2023 The (01/20/2023, C-129) application [177921] was assigned to this incident.
01/20/2023 Corrective actions provided by the operator: Tap Rock saw the compressor on location go down. Due to this the facility was shut in, but not before Tap Rock flared over the regulated volumes. Tap Rock also saw flare volumes due to flash gas coming off of the tanks and an excess amount of oxygen at the tank level due to VRU downtime. The amount of oxygen does not meet pipeline quality specifications for our midstream provider. Tap Rock is analyzing this location and the equipment on location to verify the facility can capture all excess gas. If flaring continues Tap Rock will alter the facility by placing additional gas takeaway equipment.
