THE flow of oil from cracks in the seabed off thecoast of Rio de Janeiro has long since slowed to amere trickle. Not so the retribution againstChevron, an American oil company that was drillingin the Frade oilfield on November 7th when asudden rise in pressure caused a leak.
原油从里约热内卢离岸海床的裂缝中流出已经是很久的事情了，不过由于溢出的原油只是缓慢的涓涓细流。然而这次雪佛龙所受的惩罚就不是这样了。11月7日，这家来自美国的石油公司正在Frade油田钻探，剧升的压力引发了原油泄漏。
Brazils environment agency, IBAMA, has fined the company 50m reais for the leak.On December 23rd it levied a further 10m reais for poor contingency planning. The NationalPetroleum Agency , the industry regulator, has closed one of Chevrons Frade wells andsuspended the firms drilling rights. The Rio de Janeiro state government is suing for 150mreais. A federal prosecutor in Campos, a city in the north of the state, is demanding 20billion reais in punitive damages and seeking an injunction to halt all operations in Brazil byboth Chevron and Transocean, the subcontractor drilling for it in Frade. Federal police,meanwhile, want to bring criminal charges against bosses of both companies.
巴西的环境部门巴西可再生资源与环保局已经因这次泄漏事故对雪佛龙处以5,000万雷亚尔罚款。12月23 日，该局又为可能性极低的规划对雪佛龙追加1,000万雷亚尔的罚款。石油管理机构巴西国家石油管理局已经关闭雪佛龙位于Frade的其中一处油井，同时取消了这家公司的钻探权。里约热内卢政府正在申诉15,000万雷亚尔的罚款。位于巴西北方的城市Campos的一位联邦公诉人提出200亿雷亚尔的惩罚性损失赔偿，并正在寻求禁止雪佛龙和Transocean公司在巴西的所有作业的强制令。Transocean公司承担雪佛龙在Frade 钻探任务。与此同时，联邦警察意图以刑事罪处置两家公司的主管人员。
After the 4.9m-barrel spill from the Macondo well in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010, oil regulatorsaround the world are in no mood for leniency. But the blitz against Chevron, for a leak of nomore than 3,000 barrels, makes some industry-watchers wonder whether Brazil wantsforeign oil companies at all. The reactions are out of proportion with the size of the leak,says Jos Goldemberg, an energy and environment specialist at the University of S?o Paulo.Petrobras, Brazils state-controlled oil giant, holds a minority stake in Frade, but none ofthe lawsuits or fines names it as a respondent. I dont think there would have been the sameenthusiasm for big fines if Petrobras had been drilling.
自 2010年墨西哥湾Macondo油井490万桶原油泄漏后，全球各国石油管理部门严厉无比。但仅因区区3,000桶而对雪佛龙铺天盖地地进行惩罚，这使得一事行业观察家怀疑巴西是否完全不想要外国石油了。这些反应与泄漏规模是不相对称的，一位圣保罗的大学的能源与环境专家Jos Goldemberg表示。巴西政府控股的石油巨头拥有Frade的少量股份，但它却从未作为被告面临任务诉讼罚款。假设Petrobras进行钻探，我不认为当局会同样积极处以这么大的罚款。
Brazil ended Petrobrass monopoly and opened up its oil industry to private and foreigninvestment in the 1990s. But its recent oil policy has been nationalist and populist, saysAdriano Pires, a Rio-based energy consultant and former ANP official. It has restrictedforeign companies to secondary roles in most new projects. A law approved in 2010 requiresthat in the recently discovered ultra-deep pr-sal fields, Petrobras must be theoperator with a minimum 30% stake . Mr Pires fearsthat Chevrons mishandling of communications will only harden the new mood. The companywas slow to make details of the accident public, he says, and arrogant when it did; pressconferences in English went down particularly badly. It gave the authorities another chanceto claim that foreign oil companies drilling in Brazil act carelessly, he laments.
上世纪90年代，巴西取消了Petrobras的垄断权，同时对私营企业和外国投资者开放该国的石油产业。但Adriano Pires表示，巴西最近的石油政策让其变成国家主义者和平民主义者。 Adriano Pires是扎根里约热内卢能源顾问，同时也是巴西国家石油管理局的前官员。在大多数新项目上，巴西已经将外国公司置诸次要地位。2010年，一项经批准的法律要求最近被发现的超级深海盐田，Petrobras作为经营的一方必须至少拥有30%的股份。Pires担忧不正确的公关举措将只会加深这种新的情绪。Pires表示，雪佛龙傲慢的态度以及缓慢公布这次泄漏事故的相关细节。用英语的记者执行使这种情况变得更糟。这给当局另一个机会去指责在巴西钻探的外国石油公司表现漫不经心。Pires惋惜地表示。
