Inspections and violations

What the Railroad Commission's field inspectors recorded at this operator's facilities. An inspection count tracks how much this operator runs in Texas; the rate beside it is what the inspectors found.

What the Commission did

Notice of Violation 1

From the Commission's inspection and violation files, covering Aug 1 2015 to Aug 7 2026. The two are separate files with no key between them, so the violations here are not a subset of the 1 inspections that found this operator out of compliance — they are counted from their own file.

Commission dockets

Cases the Railroad Commission opened naming this operator. Most dockets are applications — commonly for an exception to the statewide spacing rule — and a small number are compliance orders.

From the Commission's docket file published 2025-02-05. It is the only copy on the Commission's link, so nothing filed after that date appears here. The dates shown are the earliest and latest the record carries — 10 Feb 1999 to 26 Jun 2012. The file holds eight date fields per docket and the Commission publishes no key to which is which, so none is named here.

Pipeline systems

The named networks EQUISTAR CHEMICALS, LP operates. One physical pipeline is usually filed as hundreds of segments, so a system — not a segment — is the unit worth reading.
