中國媒體批美國石油公司泄漏事故處理

Chinese state media are accusing an American oil company of lacking basic social responsibility in its handling of an oil spill in Bohai Bay, off China's northeast coast. The company, ConocoPhillips China, said it expected to complete a shutdown of its operations in the bay by the end of Monday, complying with an order issued by Chinese regulators on Friday. But it faces a lawsuit from government agencies and a barrage of media criticism, including charges it violated operating rules and lied about the state of the oil leak.

The company reported Wednesday that it had met an August 31 deadline for fully halting the leakage from the floor of the bay and completing a clean-up. But regulators detected continued leakage after the deadline and ordered a shutdown in operations.中國官方媒體指責美國一家石油公司，在處理其在渤海灣的石油泄漏時缺乏基本社會責任。康菲石油中國有限公司表示，按照中國有關當局上星期五的命令，將在星期一結束前完全結束在渤海灣的清理工作。但它面臨着來自政府機關的訴訟和媒體的批評，其中包括其違反操作規則和謊報漏油形勢的指稱。

該公司星期三報告說，它已實現在8月31日之前完全停止渤海灣底部的滲漏，並完成了清理工作。但監管部門在截止日期後繼續檢測到泄漏，並下令該公司關閉作業。
