Shell Oil and other United States based oil companies on Monday, August 20, 2007 began to restart their Gulf of Mexico oil and gas production that was shut down by Hurricane Dean on forecasts the storm would miss United States offshore oil and gas installations.
The United States Minerals Management Service reported 41,967 barrels per day of gas and oil output had been shut due to the storm, out of 1.3 million barrels per day (bpd) of normal production.
Around 100 million cubic feet per day of natural gas output was shut, out of 7.7 billion cubic feet per day, The United States Minerals Management Service said.
Most of the shut production was from Shell Oil Co, which in a press release announced and said it had temporarily stopped producing a total of 39,000 barrels per day in oil and 97.5 million cubic feet per day of United States natural gas as of Monday, August 20, 2007.
