据道琼斯5月17日消息,壳牌周一称,在上周泄漏2100桶原油后,该公司将恢复路易斯安那州海岸区域的生产。
壳牌公告称,美国安全及环保执行署(BSEE)已同意公司在布鲁特斯(Brutus)平台使用未受影响的直接垂直进入油井恢复生产的计划。

壳牌称,该公司和美国海岸警卫队已经进行清理,浮油清理工作已经结束,因为已经找不到可回收的原油。

Shell to Resume Output After Gulf Spill>RDSA
Royal Dutch Shell PLC (RDSA, RDSB, RDSA.LN, RDSB.LN) said Monday it will resume production in an area off the Louisiana coast following a spill last week of 2,100 barrels of crude oil.
"The Bureau of Safety & Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) approved Shell's plan to resume production at the Brutus platform using unaffected direct vertical access wells," Shell said in a statement.
The spill Thursday from Shell's Glider Field, some 97 miles south of Port Fourchon, created an extensive, Two-mile-by-13-mile sheen in the Gulf of Mexico, the BSEE said.
Shell and the U.S. Coast Guard have been cleaning it up and skimming operations have concluded because no more recoverable oil is being found, the company said.
