Shell concluded evacuations for all non-essential personnel.  The total number of evacuated personnel is 858.  We do not anticipate any additional evacuations at this time.  Production remains shut-in at Auger, Enchilada, Brutus, and the Europa subseafield. 

While weather conditions will continue to impact our ability to redeploy personnel to our central Gulf of Mexico locations, we will begin to redeploy personnel to our western Gulf of Mexico operations, specifically the Perdido spar. 

As always, we will only transport personnel when it is safe to do so.  Our priorities continue to be ensuring the safety of our personnel, respecting the environment, and minimizing production and operational impacts.

We will continue to monitor weather reports and respond accordingly.  The information on this site will be updated as necessary.
