美國墨西哥灣漏油事件是世界石油工業(yè)史上的一件大事,是迄今為止全球最大的海洋環(huán)境災(zāi)難。它與“卡特里娜”颶風(fēng)一起,將在幾代美國民眾心目中留下難以磨滅的印記。對(duì)剛剛揭開深水油氣開發(fā)序幕的中國來說,這起災(zāi)難則是一本極其珍貴的警示材料。
墨西哥灣漏油事件發(fā)生后,井控裝備為何成為“眾矢之的”?成功堵漏需要配置什么裝備?……漏也裝備,堵也裝備,深水開發(fā)給石油工業(yè)提出一大課題,更對(duì)石油裝備業(yè)提出嚴(yán)峻的挑戰(zhàn)。
The Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill is a big event in the history of the world’s petroleum industry, and also the global largest marine environmental disaster up to now. Together with Hurricane Katrina, it will leave an indelible impression on the minds of generations of American people. For China that just begins to develop the deepwater oil and gas, this disaster is an extremely valuable lesson.
After the event, why does the well control equipment become the “target of public criticism”? What equipment is needed for successful leakage stoppage? ... No matter leaking or plugging, it is all about the equipment. The deepwater exploitation poses a question to the petroleum industry, and also poses a great challenge to the petroleum equipment industry.
