Gulf Of Mexico Operators Evacuated Teams From Ten Offshore Platforms Before Hurricane Michael’s Impact, Which Entered The Gulf On Monday

The Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) said on Monday that, in addition to the ten platforms, five dynamically positioned drilling rigs departed from the storm’s path as a precaution. “From operator reports, it is estimated that approximately 19.07 percent of the current oil production in the Gulf of Mexico has been shut in. It is also estimated that approximately 11.09 percent of the natural gas production in the Gulf of Mexico has been shut in,” said the BSEE on Monday.

The oil giant BP said it is closely monitoring Hurricane Michael to ensure the safety of its personnel and operations in deep water in the Gulf of Mexico.

BP said on Monday: “With forecasts indicating that the storm will strengthen as it moves northward in the Gulf of Mexico, BP is evacuating personnel and has shut in production across its four operated platforms, Atlantis, Mad Dog, and Na Kika, as well as Thunder Horse. The platforms are also preparing for storm evacuation as necessary. BP will continue to monitor offshore conditions to determine when it is safe to redeploy personnel and resume operations.”

Anadarko also evacuated personnel from some of its Gulf of Mexico platforms.

The company said: “We are carefully monitoring weather conditions in the eastern Gulf of Mexico and, to ensure the safety of our personnel, have removed all personnel and shut in production from our operated Horn Mountain and Marlin platforms. All other operated and producing Anadarko platforms continue to produce while we continue to monitor the potential path of Tropical Storm Michael.”

“After the hurricane, facilities will be inspected. Once all standard checks have been completed, the production of undamaged facilities will be brought back online immediately,” said the BSEE.
