The Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) in the United States reported on Wednesday that approximately 29.18% of current oil production and 16.85% of natural gas production in the Gulf of Mexico has been shut-in due to Hurricane Helene. The BSEE said that 17 production platforms, or 4.58% of the 371 manned platforms in the Gulf, have evacuated. Additionally, one non-dynamically positioned rig, representing 20% of its type, has also evacuated, while three dynamically positioned rigs have relocated to safety, accounting for 14.3% of those currently operating. BSEE is coordinating with operators and agencies to ensure a safe return to normal operations post-hurricane.
