The US government has ordered BP to provide a plan for reopening its capped well in the Gulf of Mexico after engineers found seepage and possible methane gas near the leak site.
美國政府已下令英國石油公提供一項規劃，為重開它在墨西哥灣的蓋井，在工程師發現滲漏後，和在洩漏地點附近可能有的甲烷氣體
The energy giant had wanted to test its cap until it could open relief wells to stop the flow of oil, but the discovery of seepage and possible methane gas near the site in the Gulf of Mexico means there could still be leaks.
But the discovery of seepage could mean there are still leaks in the damaged well.
BP shares fell by as much as 5 per cent today as investors reacted to the latest developments in the disaster, which began when the Deepwater Horizon rig exploded on April 20, killing 11 workers.
但滲漏發現可能意味著還有泄漏在損壞的井。
BP股價今天下跌高達百分之五，因為投資者對災難的最新事態發展作出反應，那開始於深水地平線鑽機 在4月20日發生爆炸，造成11名工人死亡。
Shares dipped below 300p at one stage last month - the lowest point since August 1996 - but last week recovered to around 425p on signs that it is closer to tackling the crisis, which BP said today has now cost $US4bn (£2.6bn) in spillage and clean-up.

The US government's plan is to pipe oil to the surface, which would ease pressure on the well but would require up to three more days of oil spilling into the Gulf.
Doug Suttles, BP's chief operating officer, said last night: 'No one associated with this whole activity ... wants to see any more oil flow into the Gulf of Mexico.
'Right now we don't have a target to return the well to flow.'
Retired Coast Guard Admiral Thad Allen, who is in charge of the White House's reponse to the spill, ordered BP to provide a plan for reopening the well by 1am today (UK time).
In a letter to BP managing director Bob Dudley, he said: 'When seeps are detected, you are directed to marshal resources, quickly investigate, and report findings to the government in no more than four hours.
All hands on deck: Boats continue to monitor the situiation at the source of the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill所有工作人員在甲板上：船繼續監察情况，在BP深水石油洩漏的源頭
Damage: After 90 days oil sheen can be seen for miles along the surface of the Atlantic near the spill損害：經過 90天，石油的光澤可以在洩漏附近沿大西洋表面數英里看到
'I direct you to provide me a written procedure for opening the choke valve as quickly as possible without damaging the well should hydrocarbon seepage near the well head be confirmed.'
The blow comes as the oil giant was reported to be considering selling off its petrol stations.

美國要求BP提供摘除油井封蓋時間表
更新時間 2010年 7月 19日, 格林尼治標準時間06:03
由於擔心墨西哥灣水下被封堵的油井又出現了新的滲漏，美國政府要求英國石油公司（BP）提交一份關於重開油井的具體時間表。
負責漏油救災工作的美國海岸防衛隊前司令艾倫上將說，如果發生新的滲漏之事屬實，BP必須盡快提交這份計劃。
他同時還提到「油井口出現了異常情況」。
英國首相卡梅倫周二（7月20日）將於華盛頓會見美國總統奧巴馬。預計BP問題將是兩人討論的主要議題之一。
「異常情況」
BP希望在減壓井能夠永久性地終止漏油情況之前，暫不取下漏油油井的封蓋。
當井口封蓋被取下時，原油將能夠通過漏斗被釋放到海面。
但艾倫致信BP總裁說，如果關於出現新滲漏以及井口出現異常的情況屬實，BP必須盡快提交一份有關情況的報告。
BP在上周四（15日）安放了新的油井封蓋之後宣佈說，他們已經成功地封堵住了水下的漏油點，「再無原油流入墨西哥灣」。
目前，針對油井封堵情況一直在進行觀測。在此期間，BP打兩口減壓井的計劃暫時停止。
墨西哥灣的漏油事件是歷史上最嚴重的環境災難之一。根據BP的計算，解決這一問題將耗資35億美元。
