I acknowledged platforms got evacuated, check when the crews went back. They are not permanently shutdown. Most were back in operations in 72 to 100 hours.
Try again. Most that were shut down are STILL shut down. Look at the shut in production numbers.
I checked today’s report, 1,267,187 BOPD still shut in.
The peak was 1,300,000. The average FOR TWO WEEKS as of today is more than 90% of the peak was shut in.
This afternoon's report has been released, more than 3 days after the storm has passed.
Approximately 97.2% (1,263,730 BPD) of the oil production in the Gulf is still shut-in. Approximately 84.2% (6,231 MMCF/D) of the natural gas production in the Gulf is shut-in.
