美国墨西哥湾30%的产能仍处于闲置状态

中国石化新闻网讯 据路透社10月15日报道，美国安全和环境执法局(BSEE)周三表示，受Delta飓风影响，10月14日美国墨西哥湾(GOM)仍有30.73%的石油生产，即每天568505桶石油，以及每天48632万立方英尺的天然气，即17.95%的产能，仍然处于停滞状态。

    BSEE指出，美国GOM地区总共57个生产平台的人员仍在撤离，占该地区643个有工人作业的操作平台的8.86%，所有人员已返回该地区的非动态定位钻井平台。

    BSEE重申了它的声明：一旦所有的标准检查完成，未损坏的设施将立即恢复生产，并警告称，遭受破坏的设施可能需要更长的时间才能恢复运行。

    今年，美国GOM遭受了几次风暴的袭击，包括飓风Sally，飓风Laura和热带风暴Cristobal。未来几天还会有另一场风暴出现，美国国家飓风中心(National Hurricane Center)预测，大西洋上空将出现一场风暴，不过该组织预测，48小时内形成气旋的可能性只有10%。

    BSEE强调，墨西哥湾地区的工作人员监管着墨西哥湾地区近1884个设施和17507英里的管道，且墨西哥湾地区是石油和天然气行业的“重要”焦点。

    BSEE负责改善美国外大陆架海上能源工业（主要是石油和天然气）的安全和环境保护工作。

    30 Percent of US GOM Oil Output Still Offline

    30.73 percent of U.S. Gulf of Mexico (GOM) oil production was still shut-in on October 14 as a result of Hurricane Delta, the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) outlined on Wednesday.

    The percentage equates to 568,505 barrels of oil per day, according to the BSEE, which revealed that 17.95 percent, or 486.32 million cubic feet of gas per day, was also still offline.

    Personnel remain evacuated from a total of 57 production platforms in the U.S. GOM, or 8.86 percent of the 643 manned platforms in the region, the BSEE outlined. All personnel have returned to non-dynamically positioned rigs in the area and all dynamically positioned rigs that moved off location for Hurricane Delta are back on location in the U.S. GOM.

    The BSEE reiterated its statement that once all standard checks have been completed, production from undamaged facilities will be brought back online immediately. The BSEE warned that facilities sustaining damage may take longer to bring back online.

    The U.S. GOM has been hit by several storms this year, including Hurricane Sally, Hurricane Laura and Tropical Storm Cristobal. Another storm could be added to that list in the coming days too, with the U.S. National Hurricane Center outlining a disturbance over the Atlantic, although the organization has forecasted that there’s only a 10 percent chance this will turn into a cyclone formation in 48 hours.

    Gulf of Mexico region staff at the BSEE oversee nearly 1,884 facilities and about ​17,507 miles of active pipeline in the GOM, the BSEE’s website highlights, adding that the U.S. GOM region is a “major” focus of the oil and gas industry.

    The BSEE is the lead federal agency charged with improving safety and ensuring environmental protection related to the offshore energy industry, primarily oil and natural gas, on the U.S. Outer Continental Shelf.
