Shell and Chevron trim Gulf of Mexico output ahead of Tropical Storm Isaias
Original: Shell, Chevron cut Gulf of Mexico output as Tropical Storm Isaias approaches
Oil majors Shell and Chevron have reduced production at their Gulf of Mexico platforms as Tropical Storm Isaias approaches, the latest in a series of precautionary shutdowns ahead of the storm's arrival. Operators routinely pull staff and curb output when hurricanes or tropical storms threaten offshore facilities in the Gulf, a key hub for US crude and natural gas supply.
Why now: The storm threatens offshore oil production, with potential impacts on energy prices and supply.
