據(jù)天然氣新聞2021年5月12日報(bào)道，科洛尼爾管道公司稱，該公司于5月12日晚些時(shí)候開始了重啟進(jìn)程，重啟進(jìn)程將需要幾天時(shí)間來恢復(fù)美國南部和東海岸大部分地區(qū)的燃油運(yùn)輸。
5月7日，由于受到勒索軟件的攻擊，科洛尼爾管道公司停止了所有輸油管道的運(yùn)營，限制了輸油和精制石油產(chǎn)品的主要管道每天輸送超過1億加侖的燃料。從休斯敦?zé)捰椭行牡郊~約港，科洛尼爾管道綿延5500多英里，供應(yīng)東海岸消耗的大約45%的汽油和柴油。
區(qū)域短缺和恐慌性購買的綜合作用導(dǎo)致北卡羅萊納州、南卡羅萊納州、喬治亞州和弗吉尼亞州近50%或更多的加油站耗盡燃料。汽油伙伴網(wǎng)站稱，在這些州人口最多的城市，比如喬治亞州的亞特蘭大市和北卡羅來納州的夏洛特市，情況甚至更糟。
科洛尼爾管道公司在一份聲明中稱：“重啟以后，產(chǎn)品交付供應(yīng)鏈將需要幾天時(shí)間才能恢復(fù)正常。”“科洛尼爾管道公司服務(wù)的一些市場在啟動期間可能經(jīng)歷或繼續(xù)經(jīng)歷間歇性的服務(wù)中斷。科洛尼爾管道公司將盡可能多地運(yùn)輸汽油、柴油和航空燃料，并將繼續(xù)這樣做，直到市場恢復(fù)正常。”
精制石油產(chǎn)品通常以每小時(shí)3到5英里的速度通過科洛尼爾管道。

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.
