According to CNOOC, it is said that the leakage scope of Penglai 19-3 oil field only involved 200 square meters, and some marine experts said this is impossible. At the same time, experts suggest that we must slow down oil and gas exploration in the Bohai Bay and establish a national strategic oil reserve for the inland sea.

Residents' "looseness" reflects the disclosure of information

The reporter interviewed in Longkou, Shandong Province, found that the vast majority of residents knew nothing about the oil spill in Bohai Bay.

Longgang City Port is a pier leading to Kuwana Village, which is the only island village in Longkou City and is closest to the site of oil spills. Yesterday afternoon, the reporter interviewed more than a dozen people at random here. Apart from Mr. Xu, who was shipped from the ferry to the docks, the rest of the people said they were unaware of this.

And this Mr. Xu told reporters that he also learned this news from the Internet.

A couple from the northeast opened a very shabby seafood processing stall on the pier. They said they did not know the news and the recent business did not change.

The related persons of the Yantai Ocean and Fisheries Bureau told the “First Financial Daily” that they were unaware of it at first. After hearing of the incident, they immediately sought confirmation from the Shandong Province. Several notifications from the State Oceanic Administration were sent out successively by Shandong Province. It's very fragmentary. The initial announcement was only a few words.

The oil leakage accident first appeared on the Weibo on June 21st, which reads that “the oil spill occurred in two oil wells in the Bohai oil field has been occurring for two days.” Subsequent media outlets contacted the news department of the CNOOC Group Company and the investor relations department of the listed company and did not receive any response. CNOOC made a formal response and it has been half an hour since it happened.

The former deputy director and inspector of the Marine Fisheries Department of Shandong Province, who has long been engaged in maritime management, and Wang Sicheng, a famous marine expert from China, told the “First Financial Daily” yesterday that an oil spill occurred and should be announced to the public within the first time. From the disclosure process of this incident information, it shows that some companies do not respect the interests of the public.

It is reported that today, the State Oceanic Administration will hold a press conference to announce the investigation of the oil spill in the Bohai Oilfield.

Wang Shicheng also told reporters that the oil spill in Bohai Bay was not the first time. Related information has never been fully disclosed.

200 square meters "it is impossible"

The day before yesterday, Yang Guang quoted CNOOC insiders as saying: The crude oil leakage point has been effectively controlled in the oil spill incident at the sea, the oil film recovery work is basically completed, and the cause of the accident is still under investigation. From the perspective of the extent of crude oil leakage, only about 200 square meters are involved, which has little impact on the accident sea area environment. At present, no one is injured and there are no reports of adverse effects on wildlife, fishing or shipping.

For this, Wang Shicheng thinks "it is impossible." At the same time, the oil pollution area cannot explain whether it causes pollution and pollution. Wang Shicheng told reporters that people may not have professional knowledge. If the oil spills in the winter, it will be agglomeration, and in the summer, it will melt in the sea. Seeing the oil area does not tell whether it causes pollution and whether the pollution is serious.

Yesterday, relevant personnel of the Bureau of Oceanic and Fisheries of Yantai City told reporters that the Ocean Bureau’s notification, which was “turned away” at the beginning, required Shandong’s local authorities to pay close attention to abnormalities along the coast. A search was conducted a few days ago and no oil pollution was found. No reports of abnormal deaths of farmed fish have been received from local farmers or fisheries departments.

According to the source, according to the notification, the location where the oil spill was first discovered was not near the drilling platform, but was a relatively remote place.

Should slow down oil and gas exploration in the Bohai Bay

Wang Shicheng told reporters that the Bohai Sea is an inland sea of ​​China. Oil spills and oil spill accidents often occur in the past few years, adding to the already fragile ecological environment.

Wang Shicheng said with deep sorrow that the 300,000-ton tanning base that had been built in Changdao County of Shandong Province was dead due to the discharge of oil from offshore oil production platforms in Shengli Oilfield.

The director of the Yellow Sea Fisheries Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Fishery Sciences, Wang Qingyin, told reporters that in the past ten years, the area of ​​marine aquaculture in China has increased by nearly five times, and the output is only 1.25 times the previous one. "The coastal pollution and the decline of seed quality are all reasons."

Wang Shicheng told reporters that our country should protect the land and expand the sea, keep it close to the sea, and use the proven oil fields in Bohai to slow down the pace of mining or to seal off strategic petroleum, and set up a national oil base in the open sea and abroad.

However, the reality is that during the past decade, about half of China’s oil production has come from the oceans. In 2010, the proportion was more than 80%.

In view of the fact that there are 1.53 million square meters of water in China within 300 meters of water depth, only 160,000 square meters have been explored and 90% have yet to be explored. In 2008, CNOOC launched an ambitious "200 billion marine development plan". In 20 years, it will invest 200 billion yuan in South China Sea, which is equivalent to a "sea Daqing oil field."
