中国石化新闻网讯 据9月7日今日油价报的,彭博社估计,自第一批平台撤离以来的十天里,飓风艾达导致美国墨西哥湾原油生产遭受了有史以来最大的损失。
在卡特里娜飓风登陆路易斯安那州16年后,飓风艾达于8月29日登陆该州,带来4级大风、15英尺高的风暴潮和洪水。
彭博社计算显示,自上周飓风艾达来临之前,第一批钻井平台撤离以来的十天里,已经损失了1680万桶的石油产量。相比之下,这一产量损失比2005年卡特里娜飓风到达后前10天的产量损失高出32%,比2008年古斯塔夫飓风后10天的石油产量损失高出42%。
卡特里娜飓风造成的破坏持续了几个月,一些生产再也没有恢复。在艾达于8月29日登陆一周后,以及第一批平台撤离后的10天内,损失了160万桶/日的产量。美国安全与环境执法局(BSEE)的数据显示,截至9月5日,美国墨西哥湾88.32%的产量仍在关闭状态。截至周日晚上,海湾地区82.72%的天然气日产量也被关闭。
不过,当前原油停产量低于周四的170万桶/日,这损失的产量达总产量的93.55%。
路易斯安那州的公用事业公司正在努力恢复住宅区和商业区的电力供应。据Entergy称,飓风艾达的4级大风、15英尺高的风暴潮和洪水使它成为袭击安特基地区最具破坏性的风暴之一。据估计,95万用户造受影响的这个数字仅次于卡特里娜飓风当时造成的110万用户断电。Entergy公司周五表示,预计路易斯安那州受灾最严重的教区的恢复时间长达三周。

Hurricane Ida Has Led To Largest Ever Initial Oil Output Loss In Gulf
Hurricane Ida has led to the largest-ever initial loss of crude oil production in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico from a hurricane in the ten days since the first platforms were evacuated, according to estimates by Bloomberg.
Sixteen years to the date after Hurricane Katrina made landfall in Louisiana, Hurricane Ida crashed into the state on August 29 with Category 4 winds, 15-foot storm surge, and flooding.
During the ten days since the first platforms were evacuated ahead of Hurricane Ida in the middle of last week, 16.8 million barrels of oil production have been lost, Bloomberg’s calculations show. To compare, this production loss is 32 percent higher than the output lost in the first ten days after Katrina in 2005, and 42 percent more than the ten-day loss of oil production after Gustav/Ike in 2008.
Disruptions from Katrina lasted for months, and some of the production never returned.
A week after Ida made landfall on August 29, and ten days after the first platforms were evacuated, as much as 1.6 million barrels per day (bpd), or
88.32 percent of U.S. Gulf of Mexico production, continued to be shut-in as of September 5, data from the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) shows. A total of 82.72 percent of the daily natural gas production in the Gulf was also shut-in as of Sunday evening.
The shut-in oil production was lower than on Thursday, when 1.7 million bpd, or 93.55 percent, of all daily crude output was offline.
Utilities across Louisiana are working to restore power to residential and commercial areas. According to Entergy, Hurricane Ida’s Category 4 winds, 15-foot storm surge, and flooding made it one of the most devastating storms to hit the Entergy region. The estimated 950,000 customers affected are second only to Hurricane Katrina’s 1.1 million who were left without power. Restoration times are up to three weeks in the hardest-hit parishes in Louisiana, Entergy said on Friday.
