Anyone have a link to the locations of Mexico's offshore oil platforms? Their Canterell Oil Field appears to be in Dean's sights.
Though Texas/Louisiana has been spared, this will probably have quite an impact on the supply of Mexican oil to the U.S. for quite some time!
The Cantarell field is in the Bahia Campeche just off the coast at Ciudad del Carmen. The wells are about even latitudinally with the northern part of Belize, around 19N.
The track of the eye is projected to move a bit to the north of there, but there will be some wind and convection from the storm because it’s so large.
The wells most likely have been evacuated of personnel, for safety’s sake, would be my guess.
