美國海灣超30%的油氣產(chǎn)能被迫關(guān)閉

據(jù)路透社6月10日報(bào)道，熱帶風(fēng)暴克里斯托巴爾(Cristobal)通過后，美國墨西哥灣地區(qū)仍有31%的海上原油生產(chǎn)處于關(guān)閉狀態(tài)，停產(chǎn)量達(dá)575541桶/天。

美國安全和環(huán)境執(zhí)法局(BSEE)表示，颶風(fēng)登陸后，墨西哥灣的海上天然氣產(chǎn)量仍有大約33%，即8.8932億立方英尺/天的產(chǎn)能被關(guān)閉。據(jù)BSEE的數(shù)據(jù)顯示，周一，34%的原油產(chǎn)能和35%的天然氣產(chǎn)能被關(guān)閉。

BSEE表示，墨西哥灣北部仍有約19%或123個(gè)生產(chǎn)平臺(tái)被疏散。自周六以來，這場風(fēng)暴累計(jì)減少了250萬桶/天的石油產(chǎn)量和35億立方英尺/天的天然氣產(chǎn)量。

克里斯托巴爾于6月1日形成，襲擊了墨西哥海岸，然后于周日向北在路易斯安那州東南部登陸。根據(jù)美國國家氣象局報(bào)道，目前被認(rèn)為是溫帶低氣壓的克里斯托瓦爾正經(jīng)過密蘇里州。

熟悉煉油廠運(yùn)營和企業(yè)的消息人士表示，路易斯安那州和密西西比州的10家煉油廠在颶風(fēng)經(jīng)過墨西哥灣期間仍在運(yùn)營，總產(chǎn)量為270萬桶/天，占全國產(chǎn)能的14.5%。

美國能源信息署數(shù)據(jù)顯示，美國墨西哥灣地區(qū)的原油產(chǎn)量約占美國原油總產(chǎn)量的15%，天然氣產(chǎn)量約占美國天然氣總產(chǎn)量的5%。

About 31% Oil, 33% Gas Output Shut in U.S. Gulf After Storm

About 31%, or 575,541 barrels per day (bpd), of offshore crude oil production remain[ed] shut in the U.S.-regulated Gulf of Mexico on Tuesday following the passage of Tropical Storm Cristobal, the U.S. government said.

About 33%, or 898.32 million cubic feet a day (cfd), of offshore natural gas output remains shut in the U.S. Gulf after the storm's passage ashore, the U.S. Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) said.

On Monday, 34% of crude oil production and 35% of natural gas output was shut, according to BSEE.

The federal agency also said about 19%, or 123 production platforms, remained evacuated in the northern Gulf of Mexico. Also, one exploration rig, or about 12.5%, remained evacuated, BSEE said.

In total, the storm has shut in 2.5 million bpd and 3.5 billion cfd of natural gas production since Saturday, according to BSEE.

Cristobal formed on June 1, struck the Mexican coast and then passed north to make landfall in southeast Louisiana on Sunday. Currently, Cristobal, now considered an extratropical depression, is passing over Missouri, according to the U.S. National Weather Service.

Ten refineries in Louisiana and Mississippi, with a combined production capacity of 2.7 million bpd, or 14.5% of national capacity, remained in operation throughout the storm’s passage over the Gulf Coast, sources familiar with operations and companies said.

U.S. Gulf of Mexico waters account for about 15% of total U.S. crude production and 5% of U.S. natural gas output, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.
