Oil company fixing pipeline in the Gulf of Thailand after failure to mend a valve

[webfact]

 

Star Petroleum Refining Plc (SPRC) has changed the repair plan to focus on fixing two ruptures in the submarine oil pipeline with special adhesive material. This process may take eight days.

 

The company has abandoned its attempt to repair one of the failed valves with sealant after it failed the pressure test. Permission for the change has been granted by the subcommittee in charge of overseeing the maintenance operation.

 

The company has expressed concern that residual oil in the pipeline may leak into the sea if it continues with the effort to fix the valve.
