據油價網5月8日消息稱，由于森林大火，加拿大石油資源豐富的艾伯塔省每天至少關閉14.5萬石油當量，加拿大能源部門陷入困境。

這場前所未有的大火迫使成千上萬的艾伯塔民眾撤離家園。

包括派拉蒙資源公司在內的六家加拿大石油和天然氣公司受到了該省近80起衍生大火的影響。

艾伯塔省省長丹尼爾·史密斯周六宣布進入緊急狀態，稱這種情況是“前所未有的”。

艾伯塔省經歷了一個炎熱干燥的春天，火種太多，只需要一些火花就能點燃一些真正可怕的大火，史密斯說。

氣候變化使得石油和天然氣公司的運營成本越來越高。艾伯塔省的大火是一系列與氣候相關的供應威脅中最新的一次，這些威脅已經開始在石油和天然氣行業顯現出來，全球超過6000億桶的商業可采石油和天然氣儲量(占總儲量的40%)面臨著高度或極端風險。

根據總部位于英國的全球風險和戰略咨詢公司Verisk Maplecroft的數據，與氣候有關的事件擾亂石油流向全球市場的風險在沙特阿拉伯、伊拉克和尼日利亞最高。

此次石油供應中斷正值歐佩克+減產160萬桶/日的協議于本月生效之際。

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.
