Anglo-French oil company Perenco's UK unit said on Sunday that a limited oil leak occurred at one of its well sites in Wytch Farm in Dorset, southern England.

周日，英法石油公司佩朗科（佩朗科）英国分公司表示，该公司位于英格兰南部多塞特郡怀奇油田（Wytch Farm）的一个井场，发生了有限的石油泄漏。

Perenco UK said the spill was being contained and an investigation will be launched.

佩朗科英国公司表示，泄漏已得到控制，并将展开调查。

"Any spill is an extremely serious matter and a full investigation will be launched to ascertain what happened in Poole Harbour," Perenco UK's Wytch Farm General Manager Franck Dy said in a statement.

佩朗科英国怀奇油田总经理Franck Dy在一份声明中说：“任何泄漏都是极其严重的问题，我们将展开全面调查，以确定事件的来龙去脉。”

BBC reported that a major incident was declared after about 200 barrels of reservoir fluid leaked into the water at Poole Harbour.

据英国广播公司（BBC）报道，普尔港约有200桶石油储油层液体泄漏到水中，并宣布这是一起重大事故。

Jim Stewart, the chief executive of Poole Harbour Commissioners （PHC）， an independent body that regulates activities of the harbor, told BBC Radio that Perenco now estimated the quantity at less than 200 barrels, and said the liquid was 80percent saline solution and 20 percent crude.

普尔港口委员会（PHC）是一个管理港口活动的独立机构，其首席执行官吉姆·斯图尔特告诉BBC电台，佩朗科公司目前估计这些液体的数量不到200桶，并表示这些液体中80%是盐水溶液，20%是原油。

Stewart said the spill had been designated one which required a regional rather than national response.

斯图尔特说，这次漏油事件被指定为区域性而非全国性的应对措施。

Perenco UK produces about 40,000 barrels of oil equivalent a day, of which about 14,000 barrels are from Wytch Farm.

佩朗科英国分公司每天生产约4万桶油当量，其中约有1.4万桶来自怀奇油田。

PHC said it activated an emergency oil spill plan and the pipeline had been halted, with booms placed on either side of the leak.

PHC表示，已启动了一项紧急漏油计划，管道已被关闭，并在泄漏区域的周边放置了围栅。

PHC also warned that people should avoid using beaches within Poole Harbour until further details are available.

PHC还提醒市民说，在进一步的细节公布之前，请避免使用普尔港内的海滩。
