Little production left for shut-ins by US Gulf of Mexico oil, gas companies: BSEE

摘要

Houston-US Gulf of Mexico production numbers released Aug. 25 by the federal Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement show that producers have little output in the region along the predicted path of strengthening Hurricane Laura that has not been shut-in as the storm races toward the coast. As of midday Aug. 25, US Gulf upstream operators had shut-in about 1.559 million b/d of oil from platforms in the region, or about 84% of the region's crude production, BSEE said in its daily update. Domestic operators had also shut-in 1.652 Bcf/d of gas or nearly 61% of the region's natural gas output, BSEE said.
