Hurricane Issac’s center has made landfall and its sustained maximum winds are expected to decrease slowly. It has moved very little over the past several hours, with an average west-northwest motion of 6-8 mph. Hurricane Issac will continue to move slowly and forecasts indicate that it should reach Northwest Louisiana by Thursday evening.

Shell’s central and eastern Gulf operations remain fully evacuated with the associated production shut-in. As the weather conditions improve, we expect to begin flyover inspections of our assets on Thursday, August 30. Once we determine that conditions are safe, we will begin redeploying staff on Friday, August 31 and restarting operations. We will continue to monitor weather reports and respond accordingly. ‬‪ The information on this site will be updated as necessary. ‬‪‬‪‬‪
