Summary
An investigation records a produced-water leak from a corroded float-cell drain header, accompanied by H2S alarms. Personnel isolated the equipment, temporarily patched the header and mustered with breathing apparatus. No injuries occurred. The report identifies inadequate maintenance and records replacement of the piping and implementation of a more detailed corrosion plan.
