大风暴切断了加拿大东部所有石油生产

中国石化新闻网讯 据纽约11月21日消息，上周横扫加拿大大西洋海岸的一个巨大的低压风暴系统使该地区所有的石油生产关闭了。风暴过后，只有一个油田重新启动了服务，而另一个油田正在与石油泄漏作战。

据海洋石油委员会说，纽芬兰省和拉布拉多省以外的水域拥有四个产地——希伯利亚、新泰拉、白玫瑰和希伯伦，9月份的产量超过15万桶/日。运营商表示，这四家公司都在风暴前关闭。运营商埃克森美孚加拿大的发言人Lynn Evans说，只有希伯伦恢复运营。

马里兰州大学公园美国海洋预报中心海洋应用部门负责人约瑟夫·辛基威茨说，来自该系统的风速达到每小时86英里（138公里），相当于1级飓风，产生的波浪达到54英尺。暴风雨从大西洋蔓延到非洲海岸的加那利群岛。这是一场非常大的风暴，他说。

Hasky能源公司正在对其白玫瑰油田的溢油做出反应，据估计，该油田溢出约为1572桶。该公司尚未说明服务何时恢复。

与此同时，据一位知情人士透露，运营商森科尔能源公司（Suncor Energy Inc.）本周末可能重启其在特拉诺瓦领域的服务。这位知情人士说，由于天然气泄漏的修复，这个地点本月早些时候关闭，预计几天后恢复服务。然而，由于暴风雨，这个计划失败了。森科尔发言人Paul Newmarch说，该油田仍然处于离线状态，一旦风暴后检查完成，将恢复运营。

Major storm shuts all of Eastern Canada's crude oil production

A huge low-pressure system that swept through Canada’s Atlantic seaboard last week shut all of the region’s oil production. Only one field has restarted service in the storm’s wake, while another is battling an oil leak.

Waters off the province of Newfoundland and Labrador host four producing fields -- Hibernia, Terra Nova, White Rose and Hebron -- which yielded over 150,000 bopd in September, according to the Offshore Petroleum Board. All four were shut ahead of the storm, operators said. Only Hebron has resumed operations, according to Lynn Evans, a spokeswoman for operator Exxon Mobil Canada.

Winds from the system reached 86 mi (138 km) per hour, as strong as a Category 1 hurricane, and generated waves reaching 54 ft, said Joseph Sienkiewicz, ocean applications branch chief at the U.S. Ocean Prediction Center in College Park, Maryland. Swells from the storm reached across the Atlantic to the Canary Islands off the coast of Africa. "It was a very large storm," he said.

Husky Energy Inc. is responding to an oil spill from its White Rose field that’s estimated at about 1,572 bbl. The company hasn’t indicated when service might resume.

Meanwhile, operator Suncor Energy Inc. may restart service at its Terra Nova field this weekend, according to a person familiar with the matter. The site was shut earlier this month for repairs to a gas leak, and was expected to resume service a few days later, the person said. That plan, however, fell through because of the storm. Suncor spokesman Paul Newmarch said the field remains offline and would return to operations once post-storm inspections were completed.
