I agree, 11 mishaps per year does not seem all that much compared to the total size of the oil&gas industry in the USA.

  for reference, a quick duck duck going shows there are currently about 130 refineries, 210 pipelines, and countless wells and storage and transport facilities all over the country. i could not confirm a cause for any of the incidents posted by OP but it seems totally reasonable that there could be a dozen or so accidents within the first half of this year. it is unlikely that we have entered the cool zone unnoticed
