Storming

With two massive hurricanes storming through many of the major oil and natural gas fields of the Gulf of Mexico in less than a month, about 78% of the daily natural gas production and 100% of the oil production in the Gulf of Mexico remained shut in Monday, according to Minerals Management Service (MMS), which compiled reports from 76 producers. MMS also reported that almost 93% of the 819 manned platforms and 75% of the 134 rigs also remained evacuated.
