PIPELINE SAFETYIS EVERYONE’S BUSINESS

From fueling our cars to heating our homes, natural gas and oil are part of everyday American life. The most efficient and safest way to transport these products across our nation is through a system of underground pipelines.

Pipelines are an integral part of our country’s energy infrastructure but are often overlooked because they are unseen. It is

important for everyone to contribute to pipeline safety by knowing where pipelines are located in their area, recognizing

unauthorized activity or abnormal conditions and knowing how to react in the unlikely event of a pipeline emergency.

Headquartered in Oklahoma City, Access Midstream is the industry’s largest independent gathering and processing master

limited partnership as measured by throughput volume. Access owns, operates, develops and acquires natural gas and liquids

gathering systems and other midstream energy assets across the United States for the largest energy companies in the

industry. Access is committed to safe and environmentally sound operations across all of its operating areas. To ensure safe

operations, we monitor our pipelines 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. In addition, we treat corrosion threats, conduct regular

patrols and perform regular inspections of our pipelines and related rights-of-way (ROWs).

Our Pipeline Damage Prevention and Public Awareness team extends the Access safety and environmental commitment by

conducting more than 200 safety training courses and educational programs nationally each year for emergency responders,

excavators, public officials, schools and the general public.

• A pool of liquid on the ground or

bubbling in a wet, flooded area

• Dirt blowing in the air

• A rainbow or sheen on the water

SMELL FOR:

• An unusual odor or scent of gas or petroleum — Natural gas is primarily odorless in gathering and transmission

pipelines until the rotten egg smell (mercaptan) is added prior to local distribution

LISTEN FOR:

• An unusual hissing or roaring noise coming from a pipeline

CALL BEFORE YOU DIG• Call 811 before beginning any excavation.

• By law, people performing excavation or construction activities in the area are required to call 811 at least 48 to

72 hours prior to beginning work.

PIPELINE ENCROACHMENTSA ROW is a defined clearing above and on either side of a pipeline. It is typically

identified by pipeline marker signs and allows operators access to conduct regular

inspections and in the event of an emergency. An encroachment is a structure or

object that overlaps the ROW that might impede access or pose a significant risk

to the pipeline and should not be installed without permission from the pipeline

company. Examples include:

Residential Encroachments Commercial Encroachments

PIPELINE MARKERSSince pipelines are generally buried underground, pipeline markers and warning signs are used aboveground to indi-

cate the general location. These markers are placed wherever needed to indicate the presence of a pipeline, including

river, railroad and street crossings and other heavily congested areas. These markers do not, however, show the exact

location, depth, pressure or number of pipelines. Also, remember that pipelines do not always follow a straight path.

Desde el combustible para automóviles hasta mantener nuestros hogares cálidos, el gas natural y el petróleo es parte de la vida diaria de nuestro país.La forma más eficiente y segura de transportar estos productos por toda la nación es a través de un sistema tubería subterránea

u oleoducto. Los oleoductos son una parte integral de la infraestructura de energía de nuestro país pero son ignorados ya que

están bajo tierra. Es importante que todos contribuyan a su seguridad asimilando en que área esta situado, reconociendo el uso

ilegal o condiciones anormales y comprendiendo como reaccionar en caso de emergencia.

Con sede en la ciudad de Oklahoma, Access Midstream es la sociedad independiente de recoleccion y procesamiento mas

grande de la industria ya que su rendimiento es medido por volumen. Access es propietario, opera, desarrolla y adquiere

sistemas de recolección de gas natural y liquido y otros recursos de energía a través de los Estados Unidos para las compñías

más grandes de la industria. Access se compromete a realizar operaciones seguras y buenas para el medio ambiente en

todas las áreas en las que opera. para asegurar la seguridad de las operaciones, nosotros monitoreamos nuestros oleoductos

24 horas al día, 365 días al año. Además, damos seguimiento a amenazas de corrosión, realizamos patrullajes regulares e

inspecciones regulares de nuestros oleoductos y derecho-de-paso relacionados (ROWs)

Nuestro equipo de Prevención de Daños a Oleoductos y Conciencia Pública extiende el compromiso de Access hacia la seguridad

y el medio ambiente al realizar más de 200 cursos de entrenamiento y programas educacionales cada año para personal de

emergencias, excavadores, funcionarios públicos, escuelas y el público en general.

OPERACIONES DE EMERGENCIA DE ACCESS En caso de una situación de emergencia en el oleoducto, Access inmediatamente responderá

y trabajara para controlar la situación lo mas rápido posible. Nuestro personal entrenado

realizará lo siguiente:

• Llegará al sitio de emergencia e interrumpirá o reducirá el flujo de combustible en el área.

• Notificará y trabajará con los oficiales de seguridad pública.

• Reparará y restablecerá el servicio de combustible lo más pronto posible.

• Investigará a fondo las causas del incidente.

Seguridad pública oficial

BUSQUE:

• Descoloración de la vegetación o vegetación muerta

• Flamas que emergen del suelo • Una nube de vapor, neblina o llovizna

• Un charco de líquido en el suelo o burbujeo en algún área con líquido estancado

• Tierra remolineando en el aire• Un arcoíris o efecto tornasol en el agua

UTILICE SUS SENTIDOS Aunque las fugas en la tubería no son una situación común, es importante saber como reconocer las señales de advertencia.

La vista, el olfato y el sonido son las mejores herramientas o señales para reconocer una posible fuga en la tubería. Nota: no todos estas señales pueden manifestarse al mismo tiempo.

OLFATEE:

• Un olor inusual u olor a gas o petróleo – el gas natural es generalmente inodoro durante la transportación por la tubería hasta que se le añade la esencia a huevo podrido (mercaptan) para su distribución domestica

ESCUCHE:

• Algún sonido inusual como escape de aire o ronroneo que provenga de alguna tubería

LLAMA ANTES DE EXCAVAR• Llame al 811 antes de iniciar cualquier excavación.

• Por ley, las personas que van a realizar una actividad de excavación o cortar árboles en el área, deben de llamar al 811 al menos

48 a 72 horas antes de comenzar a trabajar.

• Si Access opera tuberías en el área o sus alrededores, será notificado y localizaremos y pondremos banderillas temporales como

señalamiento o pintaremos anuncios sin costo antes de la excavación.

• El daño realizado por actividades de excavación es el principal causante de accidentes en el oleoducto, así que este siempre

alerta de los riesgos que puede ocasionar y llame al 811 antes de excavar. Incluso cuando la excavación sea para realizar

un proyecto dentro de su propiedad como la construcción de una alberca, una cerca, agrandamiento de su cochera o plantar

un árbol.

SEÑALAMIENTOS DE TUBERÍA U OLEODUCTOComo el oleoducto generalmente esta enterrado en el subsuelo, los señalamientos de líneas de tubería y anuncios de advertencia

que están sobre el nivel de la tierra sirven para indicar donde esta situada el oleoducto. Estos señalamientos son posicionados donde

se requiera indicar la presencia de la tubería, incluso en ríos, vías de tren y vialidades donde exista mucho tráfico. Sin embargo, estos

señalamientos no indican la posición exacta, profundidad, presión o cantidad de tuberías. También, es importante recordar que la

tubería no siempre sigue una trayectoria en línea recta.

Marcador TemporalMarcador Permanente

Familiarícese con estos señalamientos

permanentes que indican:

• El material que esta transportando

• El nombre de la compañía que opera esa

línea de tubería

• El numero de teléfono donde puede

contactar al operador en caso de emergencia

Banderillas amarillas son

utilizadas para señalar

temporalmente la ubicación

de la tubería en un área de

excavación.

• Estanques de agua

• Albercas

• Cercas

• Cabañas

• Terrazas

• Arboles

• Líneas de servicios domésticos

• Otros oleoductos

• Carreteras o caminos

• Estacionamientos

• Aceras

• Edificios o estructuras inmobiliarias

INVASIÓN DEL DERECHO-DE-PASO ALREDEDOR DEL OLEODUCTOUn acotamiento es un espacio sobre y hacia los lados de la tubería u oleoducto. Es común-

mente identificado por señalamientos los cuales permiten a los operadores acceso para

conducir inspecciones rutinarias y acceso en caso de emergencia. No se puede construir

ninguna estructura u objeto que se sobreponga o invada el derecho de paso o DDP la cual

pueda impedir el acceso o provea un riesgo significativo a la tubería y no debe ser instalada

sin autorización de la compañía que opera el oleoducto. Algunos ejemplos incluyen:

Invasión residencial al derecho de paso: Invasión comercial al derecho de paso:

QUE HACER EN CASO DE FUGA?• Apagué todo el equipo que sea motorizado.

• Evacue el área rápidamente y con cuidado camine hacia la

dirección del viento, lejos de los posibles gases tóxicos.

• Alerte a sus compañeros para que abandonen el área.

• Llame al 911, su departamento de bomberos y policía local, y al operador de la línea de tubería (o al 811 si no conoce que compañía opera esa línea) ya que se encuentre en un área segura.

• NO TOQUE, inhale o tenga ningún contacto con el líquido

o gas que se escapa.

• NO UTLIZE combustión o cualquier cosa que pueda emitir

chispas (teléfonos celulares, lámparas de mano, vehículos

motorizados, herramientas, etc.)

• NO INTENTE extinguir el fuego provocado por gas natural.

• NO INTENTE operar las válvulas del oleoducto. Espere a

que personal autorizado de la compañía operadora realice

ese trabajo.¡LA SEGURIDA DEL OLEODUCTO ES IMPORTANTE PARA TODOS!
