Hurricane Isaias (伊萨亚斯) shutdowns expanded to 71.51% of daily oil production and 58.84% of daily natural-gas production in the Gulf of Mexico.

The supplied offshore-production updates report shutdowns affecting 71.51% of Gulf oil production and 58.84% of Gulf natural-gas production as Hurricane Isaias (伊萨亚斯) approached. Financialjuice separately summarizes the shut-ins as approximately 1.5 million barrels per day of oil and 1.3 billion cubic feet per day of gas, rounded to 72% and 59%, respectively.

Personnel had been evacuated from 129 of 371 staffed production platforms, or 34.77%. The reports separately identify evacuations from 8 of 11 non-dynamically positioned drilling rigs, or 72.73%, and precautionary relocation of 2 of 17 dynamically positioned rigs; these drilling-rig counts are distinct from production-platform counts.

Company updates show differing operating responses: Shell reported production halted at Mars, Ursa, Olympus, and Vito, with evacuations completed at those facilities and Appomattox. BP (英国石油公司) reportedly shut Thunder Horse and Na Kika and evacuated nonessential staff from three other platforms, while Chevron (雪佛龙) said production continued safely at four platforms despite withdrawing most personnel.

A later report placed suspended oil output at approximately 1.46 million barrels per day and reported Mars crude trading about $3 per barrel above West Texas Intermediate (WTI), with Thunder Horse’s premium above $4 per barrel for two consecutive trading days. These are reported production and crude-market effects; the supplied sources do not identify a related data-center outage or electricity-supply interruption.
