Remobilize

While not even coming close to the power of 2002’s Hurricane Lili, 2003’s Hurricane Claudette showed Tuesday that she could still make a dent in the Gulf of Mexico’s natural gas and oil output. The industry in Houston, however, appeared to be taking the “bad weather” in stride, moving personnel in from offshore rigs, but preparing to send them right back out again. For gas prices also, it appeared to be a ho-hum event, with prices Tuesday generally up a few pennies.
