Statistical Analysis Of U.S. Reportable Onshore Hazardous Liquid And Natural Gas Pipeline Accidents/Incidents From January 2010 To January 2021 Caused By External Corrosion Page 2

In this paper, several cases will be showcased to highlight the contributing causes and underlying mechanisms of corrosion damage of components that resulted in significant releases of hazardous substances onto operator’s property, rights-of-way, and the environment. The objectives of this paper are to understand the causes of the failures and their consequences, to identify the risk factors involved, to discuss mitigative measures after failure, and to observe trends that may indicate the need for additional preventative and mitigative actions. The over-riding goal is to provide details in areas for potential improvement in pipeline operations to reduce risk and improve integrity management.

A statistical analysis of reportable hazardous liquid and natural gas pipeline accidents/incidents in the U.S. from January 2010 to January 2021 was conducted by evaluating releases reported to be caused by external corrosion. The US Department of Transportation’s Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) Office of Pipeline Safety (OPS) Accident Investigation Division (AID) collected historical records from Form PHMSA F 7000-1 (Hazardous Liquid/CO2 Accident Report) and Form PHMSA F 7100.2 (Gas Transmission and Gathering Systems Incident Report) for the 11-year period. Since January 2010, 358 of the 4,332 (8%) hazardous liquid accidents; and 122 of the 1,364 (9%) natural gas incidents involved failures due to external corrosion. These failures were reported as corrosion failures under section G1: Corrosion Failure, and 29 accidents were reported as environmental crackingrelated accidents in section G5: Material Failure of Pipe or Weld of PHMSA’s accident/incident reports.
