美国海湾超30%的油气产能被迫关闭

据路透社6月10日报道，热带风暴克里斯托巴尔(Cristobal)通过后，美国墨西哥湾地区仍有31%的海上原油生产处于关闭状态，停产量达575541桶/天。

美国安全和环境执法局(BSEE)表示，飓风登陆后，墨西哥湾的海上天然气产量仍有大约33%，即8.8932亿立方英尺/天的产能被关闭。据BSEE的数据显示，周一，34%的原油产能和35%的天然气产能被关闭。

BSEE表示，墨西哥湾北部仍有约19%或123个生产平台被疏散。自周六以来，这场风暴累计减少了250万桶/天的石油产量和35亿立方英尺/天的天然气产量。

克里斯托巴尔于6月1日形成，袭击了墨西哥海岸，然后于周日向北在路易斯安那州东南部登陆。根据美国国家气象局报道，目前被认为是温带低气压的克里斯托瓦尔正经过密苏里州。

熟悉炼油厂运营和企业的消息人士表示，路易斯安那州和密西西比州的10家炼油厂在飓风经过墨西哥湾期间仍在运营，总产量为270万桶/天，占全国产能的14.5%。

美国能源信息署数据显示，美国墨西哥湾地区的原油产量约占美国原油总产量的15%，天然气产量约占美国天然气总产量的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.
