The Tropical Cyclones Churning toward the Gulf of Mexico could both make landfall as hurricanes next week, an extremely rare event that can cause massive disruption from Texas to the Florida Panhandle
BP, Shell and Chevron Corp on Friday said they had begun evacuating offshore oil facilities, with two tropical cyclones heading toward the U.S Gulf of Mexico as the already active 2020 Atlantic hurricane season heats up further.
BP said it had begun the process of evacuating personnel from offshore platforms and drilling rigs, while also beginning to shut-in production at its four operated platforms in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, the Thunder Horse, Atlantis, Mad Dog and Na Kika.
It said there was currently no effect on production and work was underway to secure drilling operations.
It also began evacuating non-essential workers from its Blind Faith and Petronius platforms, but said production remained normal.
The tropical cyclones churning toward the Gulf of Mexico could both make landfall as hurricanes next week, an extremely rare event that can cause massive disruption from Texas to the Florida Panhandle.
