Quality Assurance

A. Origin requirements pertinent to Pipeline Shipments

A1 Origin requirements: Refineries performing in-line blending - Diesels

A.1.1 It is the responsibility of the refinery to ensure that diesel batches meet the pipeline
specifications and any additional regulatory or state specifications.

A.1.2 For those refineries that perform in-line blending, the Whiting to Dickson pipeline
will rely on refinery origin testing to ensure all batches meet product specifications.
Representative sample test results shall be made available to BP Pipelines North
America through refinery LIMS or other system report.

A.1.3 If a representative sample (Ship Composite, Ship Final Composite etc.) does not meet
the product specifications, refinery personnel must notify the pipeline by calling the
Tulsa Control Center.

Whiting Console: 918-660-4456

The decision to shut down a pipeline will be made by refinery oil movement
personnel in conjunction with the applicable Whiting to Dickson Pipeline Controller,
Advanced Fuels Products and, if applicable, Supply personnel.

A.1.4 If the in-line blending is not performing adequately or if any downstream oversight
testing indicates that a composite or grab sample of a batch does not meet pipeline
specifications, the pipeline may prohibit further in-line blending until such time it can
be demonstrated that sufficient corrective action has taken place and documentation
of the corrective action is accepted by the pipeline.

A.2 Origin requirements: Refineries performing in-line blending - Gasolines

A.2.1 It is the responsibility of the refinery to ensure that gasoline batches meet the pipeline
specifications and any additional regulatory or state specifications.

A.2.2 For those refineries that perform in-line blending, the Whiting to Dickson pipeline
will rely on refinery origin testing to ensure all batches meet product specifications.
Representative sample test results shall be made available to BP Pipelines North
America through refinery LIMS or other system report.

A.2.3 If a representative sample (Ship Composite, Ship Final Composite etc.) does not meet
the product specifications, refinery personnel must notify the pipeline by calling the
Tulsa Control Center.
