原标题：萨莉飓风过境美国石油生产与出口重启

中国石化新闻网讯据路透社9月17日报道，受风暴冲击的美国近海能源生产商和出口商周四开始清理飓风萨莉(Sally)带来遗留问题，并重启墨西哥湾停工5天的生产作业。

风暴吹倒了树木，淹没了街道，导致从密西西比州到佛罗里达州约57万户家庭和企业断电。萨莉变成了热带风暴，并在一夜之间从阿拉巴马州蔓延到乔治亚州。

至少30个海上石油和天然气平台的工作人员重返岗位。雪佛龙开始开始重新部署其在墨西哥湾的Blind Faith和Petronius平台。

处理超大型油轮的路易斯安那离岸石油港(Louisiana Offshore Oil Port)在周末暂停运营后重新开放了其海上终端。

萨莉飓风使50.8万桶/天的石油生产和8.05亿立方英尺的天然气生产关停，这超过了美国墨西哥湾产量的四分之一，并造成墨西哥湾沿岸石化产品出口暂停。

根据美国能源部的数据，周三美国约有110万桶的炼油产能停运，其中两座工厂在劳拉飓风事件后仍在维修，另一座工厂因新冠肺炎疫情导致需求疲弱而停产。

飓风帮助提振了美国石油和汽油期货。美国原油价格周三上涨逾4%，汽油价格涨幅接近4%。

Phillip66在风暴来临前关闭了其位于路易斯安那州的Alliance炼油厂，该公司称正在推进该设施的维修计划，并将继续暂停加工作业。壳牌初步调查显示，其在阿拉巴马州的化工厂和炼油厂没有受到严重损害。雪佛龙表示，其位于密西西比州帕斯卡古拉(Pascagoula)的炼油厂在暴风雨中正常运营。

U.S. oil producers, exporters tally damages from Hurricane Sally, begin restarts

Storm-tossed U.S. offshore energy producers and exporters began clearing debris on Thursday from Hurricane Sally and booting up idle Gulf of Mexico operations after hunkering down for five days.

The storm toppled trees, flooded streets and left about 570,000 homes and businesses from Mississippi to Florida without power. Sally became a tropical storm and spread heavy rains overnight from Alabama to Georgia.

Crews returned to at least 30 offshore oil and gas platforms. Chevron Corp CVX.N began restaffing its Blind Faith and Petronius platforms in the Gulf of Mexico.

The Louisiana Offshore Oil Port, a deepwater oil port that handles supertankers, reopened its marine terminal after suspending operations over the weekend.

Sally had shut 508,000 barrels per day of oil production and 805 million cubic feet of natural gas, more than a quarter of U.S. Gulf of Mexico output, and halted petrochemical exports all along the Gulf Coast.

About 1.1 million bpd of U.S. refining capacity were offline on Wednesday, according to the U.S. Energy Department, including two plants under repair since Laura and another halted by weak demand due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The storm helped lift U.S. oil and gasoline futures. U.S. crude rose more than 4% on Wednesday and gasoline gained nearly as much.

Phillips 66 PSX.N, which shut its 255,600-bpd Alliance, Louisiana, oil refinery ahead of the storm, said it was advancing planned maintenance at the facility and would keep processing halted.

Royal Dutch Shell RDSa.L's Mobile, Alabama, chemical plant and refinery, reported no serious damage from an initial survey, the company said. Chevron said its Pascagoula, Mississippi, oil refinery operated normally through the storm.
