I bet this will send both crude oil and refined products prices up on Monday. Imagine if the refineries in Houston had to shut down before the New Orleans refineries shut down by Katrina are back up to full capacity.

Not to mention all the platforms that will have to be shut down yet again.. Have they all been found yet? Keep meaning to follow up on that, but keep getting distracted.

They don't completly shut down, they just recirculate till the danger is over like 24 hours. The problem in La. was the pipelines being shut down also and the storm surge. Production would be limited for a very short period of time.
