Oilfield gathering station — crude oil line

Field Reality

A crude oil line at an oilfield gathering station had a perforation leak. A clamp and plastic pad had already been fitted as a temporary measure and had begun leaking again quickly. The Field that DendroSeal was asked to look at was therefore not a bare pipe: it was a pipe with a failed prior repair still on it, and dark liquid running from underneath it.

Dark liquid leaking from a clamp and plastic-pad arrangement on a vertical steel pipe. — Active leakage from beneath the prior clamp and pad.

Key verified Field facts

Medium: Crude oil operator-reported service
Pressure: 10 bar operator-reported
Asset: DN100 steel pipe at a gathering station operator-reported
Geometry: Vertical run carrying a previously fitted clamp and plastic pad observed in the Field record
Field condition: Perforation leak; the prior clamp and plastic pad re-leaked quickly operator-reported and visible in the Field record
Dominant hazard / constraint: Continuing crude oil release from beneath a failed temporary repair observed in the Field record

Resulting ISB

No completed-state record is published for this Field. The Field Reality above is what the record supports, and nothing has been added to make the sequence look finished.

Case boundary

This Case records one unique Field Reality. It is not a construction instruction and not a template. A Solution developed for one Field must not be copied into another Field without new DendroSeal Understanding.
