【持续关注!#美国南加州海岸发生重大石油泄漏事故#】#美国加州南岸原油泄漏已达48万升#美国加利福尼亚州南部奥兰治县海岸日前发生严重原油泄漏事故,截至3日中午海面上已形成近35平方公里的污染带,原油泄漏量达到3000桶(约合48万升石油),给当地生态环境造成严重威胁。运营该石油项目的Amplify Energy公司表示,很可能是由于一艘货船的锚敲击石油管道,管道破裂而造成的泄漏事故。An investigation is underway to ascertain the cause behind the oil leak off California's coast on Sunday. More than 3,000 barrels of oil spilled into the Pacific Ocean, forcing the closure of beaches. The incident will also cause significant ecological damages. The spill is suspected of having originated in a 27.8-kilometer pipeline connected to an offshore oil platform. Investigators are looking into whether a ship's anchor may have struck an oil pipeline on the ocean floor, causing heavy crude to leak into coastal waters and foul beaches. An anchor from a cargo ship striking the pipeline is "one of the distinct possibilities" behind the leak, Martyn Willsher, CEO of Amplify Energy that operates the oil program, told a news conference.
