Impact description supplied by source

The spill impacted some areas within the Wellhead area and the adjoining vegetation outside the Wellhead area. It was a suspected crude oil theft point. The two 3” L/S Flow lines were cut off completely and the cut looks like a mechanical cut due to the smoothness of the cut.
