Greed? Being shut down for months at a loss of $28 million dollars per day in revenue doesn't sound like greed. It's more likely that their monitoring of corrosion was inadequate or corrosion conditions in the pipe may have suddenly changed, e.g. the new occurence of sulfate reducing bacteria resulting in higher concentrations of hyrdogen sulfide gas, which especially in the presence of CO2, can rapidly accelerate corrosion.
