應對漏油，四公司聯手 札記 發佈時間：07-22
Fund For Oil Spill Four major oil companies agreed to set up a $1 billion dollar fund in order to respond and deal with any future deep-water blowouts in the
Shell, ExxonMobil, Chevron and ConocoPhillips said the system of underwater capture devices and containment vessels, similar to the ones BP is using now to control its oil spill, will be designed and made available to capture up to 100,000 barrels of oil per day.
The new equipment will be pre-engineered, constructed, tested and on standby for any cases of emergency. The proposal comes as the oil industry attempts to stave off laws aimed at overhauling offshore drilling in the wake of the BP disaster. The Macondo well blowout on April 20th destroyed the entire rig and killed 11 people, making it the worst oil spill in
The initiative is the first action from oil industry indicating that it is serious about remedying the problem and protecting the Gulf. But some environmental groups don't think that way. They say that everywhere there is drilling, the companies put communities at risk for still another disaster. WHL 應對漏油，四公司聯手 四大石油巨頭公司日前達成協議，決定投入10億美元基金來應對墨灣未來出現的漏油問題。 Shell, Exxon Mobil, Chevron, 以及Conocophillips表示，和英國石油公司所採用的控制漏油的設備相似，將專門設計並用於每天收取10萬桶的漏油。 並且這種新設備將提前准備就緒，經過測試隨時解決任何緊急事件。 這項提案也正值石油業希望全面修改關於對近油採油的限制和全面檢監的法律。四月廿四日發生的墨灣漏油事件導致井架受損，12名工作人員死亡，造成美歷史上最大的漏油事件。 四大石油公司聯合提案也成為石油業的第一個要求解決問題，保護墨灣的行動，但一些環境保護機構對此不予認同，他們稱油井處處存在，石油公司隨時都會醞釀另一個破壞環境的悲劇。 |
