HOUSTON (ICIS)--Just over 23% of the US Gulfs oil production and 34% of natural gas output remained shut in as of Friday, the US Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement said. <\/p>\n
The following table shows the number of platforms and rigs evacuated, including the total of oil and natural gas that has been shut in. <\/p>\n
Oil and gas supply in the US Gulf has continued to slowly recover after Hurricane Ida hit Louisiana more than two weeks ago. <\/p>\n
The percentage of oil and gas production that is still shut in has decreased slightly from the previous day. <\/p>\n
Offshore oil wells account for 17% of the nation's crude production, according to theEnergy Information Administration (EIA). <\/p>\n
The EIA said federal Gulf of Mexico production is about 3% of total US dry natural gas production. <\/p>\n
Shell continues to assess the damage to its West Delta-143 facility. These facilities serve as the transfer station for all production from Shell-operated assets in the Mars corridor in the Gulf of Mexico to onshore crude and natural gas terminals. <\/p>\n
Its Appomattox, Enchilada\/Salsa and Auger assets continue to ramp up production. Its Mars, Ursa and Olympus assets remain shut in. <\/p>\n
In contrast, pipeline companies impacted by Hurricane Nicholas have been able to restore service after the storm passed through Texas earlier this week. <\/p>\n
Ports in the Texas Gulf Coast and southwestern Louisiana regionhave reopened. <\/p>\n
The damage from both storms could likely see output andrefinery throughputimpacted for several more sessions. <\/p>\n
On Tuesday, the US Energy Information Administration (EIA) revised down their Q3 2021 oil demand figure by 200,000 bbl\/day. <\/p>\n
