| Description |
You have failed to ensure that gas lift flowmeters are so constructed or adapted as to be suitable for the purpose for which they are to be used or provided, in that, you had an uncontrolled release of high pressure hydrocarbon gas whilst venting down of impulse lines to release a suspected blockage from gas lift flowmeter FT-1602, and you have carried out a similar operation on other gas lift flowmeters at Piper Bravo, a total of 55 times between the 1st January 2023 and the 3rd April 2023, and in 2022 a Metering Technician had identified the increasing frequency of this activity but you had not taken any action to resolve this. |
