What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Shell and Chevron have begun shutting in offshore platforms in the Gulf of Mexico due to an approaching storm. Shell is evacuating personnel from five platforms, including Mars, Olympus, Ursa, Vito, and Appomattox, and stopping production activities there. Chevron is also shutting down four platforms, while BP was also evacuating staff from offshore platforms in the Gulf.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The platform shut-ins reduce supply from offshore fields, which account for about 15% of U.S. total national oil production. This reduction, combined with the potential for the storm to impact Gulf Coast refineries, may drive up crude oil prices.
