Summary: California Resources Corporation, an energy company, supports the proposed action to modernize pipeline repair criteria and advocates for a risk-based, technically grounded approach. They suggest incorporating advanced engineering tools (like FEA and PAUT), clarifying definitions for anomaly discovery, and tailoring requirements to specific pipeline types and operating conditions.
California Resources Corporation respectfully submits stakeholder feedback regarding 1) potential opportunities to improve repair requirements for gas transmission and hazardous liquid or carbon dioxide pipelines, and 2) risk-based approaches for determining the inspection interval for in-service breakout tanks as requested pursuant to Docket No. PHMSA-2025-0019, Pipeline Safety: Repair Criteria for Hazardous Liquid and Gas Transmission Pipelines (attached).
