英国石油安全管控建议

　　BP successfully lobbied against tighter environmental controls by regulators in Texas， saving $150m in monitoring and equipment upgrades prior to the fatal Texas City refinery explosion in 2005， internal documents show.

　　The proposed controls would have forced BP to invest in upgrading the exhaust system on the unit at the refinery that exploded to include a flare.

　　The US Chemical Safety Board said the upgrade would have prevented – or at least mitigated – the blast that killed 15 and injured 500.

　　英国BP石油公司内部文件显示，在2005年其美国得克萨斯市炼油厂致命的爆炸事故发生之前，该公司针对加强环境管控一事游说成功，得以在监控和设备升级上节约1.5亿美元。

　　有关方面所提议的管控，将迫使英国石油在排气系统升级上进行投资，即在炼油厂所爆炸之处安装一个安全助燃功能。

　　美国化学品安全委员会表示，这一升级可能或至少减弱那场导致15人死亡、500人受伤的大爆炸。
