这次墨西哥湾溢油事件漏油量之多、持续时间之长是近几十年来海上石油灾难性事故中罕见的。在采取了很多堵漏措施都未成功后,英国石油公司利用一个漏斗状装置“盖住”墨西哥湾海底漏油油井,并开始将部分泄漏的原油和天然气输送到海面上。此举虽令人松了口气,但有报道说,漏油并未因此而完全止住。受此重大事故影响,美国政府已宣布暂停近海石油开采,但这只是暂时的,不会一直停止。海上石油是美国能源的重要来源之一,其不可能全部或更多地依赖进口。
The spill in the Gulf of Mexico oil spill over the last few decades has been rare in the catastrophic offshore oil catastrophe. After failing to take a number of plugging measures, BP took advantage of a funnel-shaped device to “cover” the Gulf of Mexico oil spill and begin sending some of the leaking oil and gas to the surface. Although this was a relief, it has been reported that oil spills have not stopped completely. Affected by this major accident, the U.S. government has announced a moratorium on offshore oil exploration, but this is only temporary and will not stop there. Offshore oil is one of the most important sources of energy in the United States, and it can not rely entirely or more on imports.
