On Wednesday, roughly 30% of US Gulf of Mexico crude oil output was still offline after Hurricane Ida.
According to the regulator Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE), around 537,193 barrels of oil output was still missing.
In the area, oil and gas firms still had had 36 offshore facilities evacuated.
39% of the natural gas offshore output was also still being shut.
The bright line is that the energy companies in the Gulf were able to speedily restore pipeline service and electricity after another hurricane, Nicholas, passed through Texas this week. They could continue the repairing efforts on their facilities hit by Ida.
