What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

Shell is monitoring Tropical Storm Isaias for potential impacts on its Gulf of Mexico assets. As a precautionary measure, Shell is shutting in production and evacuating personnel from assets including Mars, Olympus, Ursa, Vito, and Appomattox. Shell has also obtained US approval to use drones to help restart production faster after major weather events.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

Roughly 63% of US Gulf of Mexico crude output was shut in by early Friday. The disruption, which includes nearly 500,000 barrels a day of refining capacity near the storm, could affect global supply uncertainty and energy costs in Europe.

Shell is shutting in platforms in the Gulf of Mexico, which may drive up crude oil prices, as Tropical Storm Isaias forms offshore.
