据世界管道10月8日报道，南加州海岸爆裂的一段石油管道在海底移动了105英尺(约32米)。美国海岸警卫队和钻井公司Amplify Energy Corp对其应对漏油事件所需的时间进行了进一步审查。有报道称，水手们在周五晚上首次报告在水中发现了石油泄漏，直到周六中午才收到正式通知。
大约3000桶(126000加仑)原油泄漏到太平洋。
石油似乎是通过13英寸的管道泄漏的。Amplify Energy首席执行官Martyn Willsher在一次新闻发布会上表示，管道上的裂缝“像弓弦一样被拉扯”，距离原本应该的位置约105英尺。
美国海岸警卫队船长Rebecca Ore告诉记者，在17.7英里(28.5千米)长的管道中，有一段4000英尺(1.2千米)被横向移动，这是由远程遥控设备发现的。
这条管道从Elly平台沿着海底延伸，距离海岸约9英里(14.5公里)，水深255英尺，然后通向港口。周二，美国运输部表示，整个管道应该保持关闭状态，直到命令发布后才能重新开放。

Pipeline from California oil spill was moved 105 ft along sea floor
According to Reuters, a section of the oil pipeline that burst off the Southern California coast was displaced 105 ft (32 m) across the ocean floor.
The revelation came as the US Coast Guard and drilling company Amplify Energy Corp came under further scrutiny about the time it took to respond to the spill, amid reports that mariners first reported seeing oil in the water align="justify"> Roughly 3000 bbls (126 000 gal.) of crude oil spilled into the Pacific Ocean.
The oil appears to have leaked through a 13 in. gash in the pipe, which was "pulled like a bowstring" about 105 ft from where it should have been, Martyn Willsher, Chief Executive of Amplify Energy, told a news conference. Amplify owns the pipeline and connected rigs.
In all a 4000 ft (1.2 km) section of the 17.7 mile (28.5 km) pipeline was displaced laterally, as discovered by a remotely operated vehicles, US Coast Guard Captain Rebecca Ore told reporters.
The pipeline runs along the ocean floor from the Elly platform, about nine miles (14.5 km) offshore in 255 ft of water, then heads toward port. On Tuesday, the US Department of Transportation said the entire pipeline should remain shut until ordered to be reopened.
