Int 195.8 Installation and operation of polyethylene crude oil gathering line, petition for approval.
Question:
Your letter of August 15, 1997, describes the Oklahoma Corporation Commission's (OCC) evaluation and approval of a petition by Sun/Mid-Continent Pipe Line Company required under 49 CFR §195.8. The petitioner requested approval to install and operate a polyethylene crude oil gathering pipeline within the town of Drumright, Oklahoma.
The proposed pipeline consists of approximately 10,000 feet of new 4-inch diameter polyethylene pipe having a SDR of 11 and manufactured in conformance with ASTM D2513. The proposed pipeline will be designed, constructed, and operated in conformance with applicable plastic pipe regulations in 49 CFR Part 192. The maximum operating pressure will not exceed 80 pounds per square inch.
Answer:
Based on the information provided by Sun/Mid-Continent Pipe Line Company and your evaluation of the design and operating conditions of the proposed crude oil gathering pipeline, the Office of Pipeline Safety concurs that the approval of the petition will not be inconsistent with the pipeline safety standards.
