Shell will continue evacuations from its Western Gulf of Mexico operations today, bringing another approximately 200 personnel to shore. The total number of evacuated personnel to date is approximately 700. Remaining personnel offshore is ~835 and we will continue to evaluate the necessary evacuation of those remaining personnel as we gain more information.

Production from our Western and Central Gulf of Mexico assets is being shut-in today to prepare for the potential full evacuation of personnel tomorrow morning. Production from our East assets will be evaluated as the storm progresses.

We will continue to monitor this system closely and respond to further developments.

The information on this site will be updated as necessary.
