- The California utility responsible for a massive, 4-month-long gas leak near Los Angeles in 2015 failed to investigate dozens of leaks over decades at the natural gas storage facility, according to a state report released on Friday.
The long-awaited report found that groundwater corroded a 7-inch well casing and made it to rupture, causing the leak. Because Southern California Gas, a unit of Sempra Energy, had failed to investigate and analyze leaks since the 1970s, the consequences of such corrosion were not understood, leading to the 2015 incident, the report found.
The agencies said the report would help inform their own investigations, which are expected to be completed this year. Those probes could ultimately result in penalties against the company, according to the CPUC. SoCalGas, as the utility is known, said it was in compliance with natural gas storage regulations in place at the time. Updated well safety regulations since 2015 largely address the causes of the leak, the report said.
