shell drill

Last week, Royal Dutch Shell was forced to temporarily abandon attempts to drill the first well in Alaska in two decades, after a piece of safety equipment was damaged during testing.

上周，荷兰皇家壳牌（Royal Dutch Shell）被迫暂停钻探阿拉斯加20年来第一口油井的努力，此前一件安全设备在测试中严重受损。

I know there are Americans who are concerned about oil companies drilling in environmentally sensitive waters.Some are also concerned with my administration's decision to approve Shell's application to drill a well off the Alaskan coast,

当然，我知道还有很多人很关心一些石油公司在环境脆弱水域的钻探事宜。人们也很关心对于壳牌公司利用我上任前购买的租约在阿拉斯加近海钻探油井的申请，政府的最终决定。

Royal Dutch Shell says its grounded drill rig is ready to be towed off the rocks where it's been stranded since New Year's Eve.

荷兰皇家壳牌石油公司表示已准备好将搁置的钻井机从岩石中拖出来，该钻井机自新年前夕便困在了岩石中。
