According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, pipelines are the safest, reliable, and least costly way to transport energy products.

Denbury Onshore is committed to maintaining the highest standards of safety. We design, install, test, operate, and maintain our pipelines to meet or exceed regulatory standards. Our employees are thoroughly trained to maintain and operate the systems safely, and we are proud of our safety record. We use a variety of methods to ensure safe operations of our pipeline systems.

• Cathodic Protection – an artificial source of current is applied to our pipelines in addition to a protective coating to help prevent external corrosion.
   

• Pressure Testing – all of our pipelines are strength tested with a safety factor to establish maximum operating pressure prior to being placed in service.
   

• Visual Inspection – Denbury’s pipeline right-of-way are inspected on a regular basis for signs of damage and encroachment. Encroachments prevent us from gaining access to all our facilities at all times for regular maintenance or during emergencies. Marker signs are placed along the right-of-way to alert the public of the existence of the pipelines.
   

• Public Awareness Program – the program is designed to help the public, contractors and others identify the location of pipelines before excavating to prevent third-party damages. We are also members of one-call centers in the states where we operate pipelines.
   

• Monitoring - operating conditions on some of our pipelines are monitored 24 hours a day, 7 days a week by a control center. The computer system has the capability to operate automated valves to shutdown and/or isolate sections of the pipeline systems, if necessary.
   

• Emergency Procedures – all pipeline operations personnel are trained periodically for emergency preparedness and are required to follow company’s procedures during emergency situations.
