据天然气新闻2021年5月12日报道，科洛尼尔管道公司称，该公司于5月12日晚些时候开始了重启进程，重启进程将需要几天时间来恢复美国南部和东海岸大部分地区的燃油运输。
5月7日，由于受到勒索软件的攻击，科洛尼尔管道公司停止了所有输油管道的运营，限制了输油和精制石油产品的主要管道每天输送超过1亿加仑的燃料。从休斯敦炼油中心到纽约港，科洛尼尔管道绵延5500多英里，供应东海岸消耗的大约45%的汽油和柴油。
区域短缺和恐慌性购买的综合作用导致北卡罗莱纳州、南卡罗莱纳州、乔治亚州和弗吉尼亚州近50%或更多的加油站耗尽燃料。汽油伙伴网站称，在这些州人口最多的城市，比如乔治亚州的亚特兰大市和北卡罗来纳州的夏洛特市，情况甚至更糟。
科洛尼尔管道公司在一份声明中称：“重启以后，产品交付供应链将需要几天时间才能恢复正常。”“科洛尼尔管道公司服务的一些市场在启动期间可能经历或继续经历间歇性的服务中断。科洛尼尔管道公司将尽可能多地运输汽油、柴油和航空燃料，并将继续这样做，直到市场恢复正常。”
精制石油产品通常以每小时3到5英里的速度通过科洛尼尔管道。

Colonial Pipeline begins restart process that will take several days
Colonial Pipeline said it initiated the restart process late on May 12 that will take several days to restore full fuel transportation to much of the US South and East Coast.
Colonial had halted all pipeline operations on May 7 because of a ransomware attack, restricting the primary artery for gasoline and refined products from delivering more than 100 million gal/d of fuels. Colonial stretches more than 5,500 miles from the Houston refining hub to New York Harbor, supplying about 45% of all the gasoline and diesel fuel consumed on the East Coast.
A combination of regional shortages and panic-buying caused close to 50% or more of gas stations in North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Virginia to run out of fuel. The situation is even worse within the most populated cities in those states, such as Atlanta, Georgia and Charlotte, North Carolina, according to GasBuddy.
"Following this restart, it will take several days for the product delivery supply chain to return to normal," Colonial said in a statement. "Some markets served by Colonial Pipeline may experience, or continue to experience, intermittent service interruptions during the start-up period. Colonial will move as much gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel as is safely possible and will continue to do so until markets return to normal."
Product typically moves at 3 to 5 mph through the pipeline.
