据油价网5月8日消息称,由于森林大火,加拿大石油资源丰富的艾伯塔省每天至少关闭14.5万石油当量,加拿大能源部门陷入困境。
这场前所未有的大火迫使成千上万的艾伯塔民众撤离家园。
包括派拉蒙资源公司在内的六家加拿大石油和天然气公司受到了该省近80起衍生大火的影响。
艾伯塔省省长丹尼尔·史密斯周六宣布进入紧急状态,称这种情况是“前所未有的”。
艾伯塔省经历了一个炎热干燥的春天,火种太多,只需要一些火花就能点燃一些真正可怕的大火,史密斯说。
气候变化使得石油和天然气公司的运营成本越来越高。艾伯塔省的大火是一系列与气候相关的供应威胁中最新的一次,这些威胁已经开始在石油和天然气行业显现出来,全球超过6000亿桶的商业可采石油和天然气储量(占总储量的40%)面临着高度或极端风险。
根据总部位于英国的全球风险和战略咨询公司Verisk Maplecroft的数据,与气候有关的事件扰乱石油流向全球市场的风险在沙特阿拉伯、伊拉克和尼日利亚最高。
此次石油供应中断正值欧佩克+减产160万桶/日的协议于本月生效之际。

Alberta Wildfires Take 145,000 Bpd Of Oil Off Market
The Canadian energy sector is reeling after the shutting in of at least 145,000 of oil equivalent per day (boepd) in the oil-rich province of Alberta due to wildfires.
The unprecedented fires have forced tens of thousands of Albertans to evacuate their homes.
More than half a dozen Canadian oil and gas companies including Paramount Resources, Crescent Point Energy Corp., Vermilion Energy Inc., Pipestone Energy Corp., Kiwetinohk Energy Corp.,Tourmaline Oil Corp. and Cenovus Energy Inc. have been impacted by the nearly 80 fires currently running amok in the province.
Declaring a state of emergency on Saturday, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith described the situation as "unprecedented".
Alberta "has been experiencing a hot, dry spring and with so much kindling, all it takes is a few sparks to ignite some truly frightening wildfires," Smith said.
Climate change is making it costlier for oil and gas companies to operate. Alberta’s wildfires are the latest in a series of climate-related?supply threats have already begun to manifest in the oil and gas industry, with more than 600 billion barrels equivalent of the world’s commercially recoverable oil and gas reserves, or 40% of total reserves, facing high or extreme risks.
According to UK-based global risk and strategic consulting firm Verisk Maplecroft, the risk of climate-related events disrupting the flow of oil to global markets is highest in Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Nigeria.
The outage comes as OPEC+ production cuts of 1.6 million bpd came into effect this month.
