Ethylene, LNG and Refining Plants on Texas, Louisiana Coast Brace for Hurricane Laura
Attachment: LAURA-GOM-0820-Industry
SUGAR LAND--August 26, 2020--Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Hurricane Laura is inching its way westward as it tears through the Gulf of Mexico, with the National Hurricane Center (NHC) now projecting landfall late Wednesday, with a "risk of life-threatening storm surge" anywhere from San Luis Pass, Texas, to the mouth of the Mississippi River at the tip of the Louisiana Peninsula. But as Laura prepares to hit the U.S. Gulf Coast with between 4 and 12 inches of rainfall, depending on the area, roughly 1.78 million barrels per day (BBL/d) and 2.7 billion cubic feet per day of offshore oil and natural gas production, respectively, stands to be affected. Industrial Info is closely following activity at these platforms, as well as onshore production facilities in the path of the storm.
