This could be a very big deal to the oil industry... affecting busy shipping lanes, and possibly even affecting some production in the region. Truly an unprecedented event!

Probably not. Most of the production is onshore; you always design for a 100 year storm for any offshore facility; even the worst cyclone cannot blow a VLCC around much.

On the other hand, this storm is a definite indication of global warming and the need to immediately adopt the Kyoto Accord.
