| 摘要： | On December 23, 2006, the Liberian oil tanker M/T Petrovsk arrived at the Galveston Lightering Area in the Gulf of Mexico. The ship was scheduled to perform lightering operations with another vessel, but operations were postponed because of inclement weather. The ship was to remain at anchor until weather conditions improved. During the early morning of December 24, 2006, the ship began dragging its anchor because of high winds. Around 5:00 a.m., in Galveston Block A-5, the anchor dragged across and ruptured Pipeline Segment No. 4879, a 14-inch oil pipeline that is a part of pipeline Right-of-way (ROW) OCS-G 5150, held by BP Pipelines (North America), Inc. (BP). This pipeline transports all of the oil gathered by the High Island Pipeline System (HIPS) from High Island (HI) Block A-474, Platform A (the last offshore gathering point), to an onshore metering facility in Texas City, Texas. At 5:25 a.m., the Texas City metering facility detected a rapid pressure loss in the system, and by 6:30 a.m., all 29 platforms affiliated with the HIPS were shut in. The investigative panel calculates that this pipeline rupture resulted in an oil spill of approximately 870 barrels. |
