Ahead of Hurricane Sally, 147 offshore platforms have been evacuated, representing 395,790 barrels per day (BBL/d) of crude oil and 685 million standard cubic feet per day (MMSCFD) of natural gas production offline. Another 379,651 BBL/d of crude capacity in the storm's path has remained online. Royal Dutch Shell has curtailed only 12% of the production from its Appomattox, Mars, Ursa and Olympus platforms, while BP is maintaining operations at the Na Kika and Thunderhorse platforms after evacuating non-essential personnel.
Phillips 66 shut down its 250,000-BBL/d Alliance refinery in Belle Chasse, Louisiana, as a safety precaution. In addition, Shell reduced rates at its 240,000-BBL/d Norco, Louisiana, refinery. Other refineries in the vicinity continue to operate as normal.
There are more than 370 industrial plants in the storm's immediate path, where operations could be interrupted for several days, as historic amounts of rain, combined with the storm surge will likely flood the area. Much of the Mississippi and Alabama coasts can expect a storm surge of six to nine feet plus flooding from torrential rainfall over the next two days, closing all marine ports and related traffic until late this week.
Industrial Info's researchers will be assessing plants damaged as a result of Hurricane Sally. Visit the Disaster Impact Tracker regularly for updates on potential and actual plant impacts.
