據路透社6月10日報道，熱帶風暴克里斯托巴爾(Cristobal)通過后，美國墨西哥灣地區仍有31%的海上原油生產處于關閉狀態，停產量達575541桶/天。

美國安全和環境執法局(BSEE)表示，颶風登陸后，墨西哥灣的海上天然氣產量仍有大約33%，即8.8932億立方英尺/天的產能被關閉。據BSEE的數據顯示，周一，34%的原油產能和35%的天然氣產能被關閉。

BSEE表示，墨西哥灣北部仍有約19%或123個生產平臺被疏散。自周六以來，這場風暴累計減少了250萬桶/天的石油產量和35億立方英尺/天的天然氣產量。

克里斯托巴爾于6月1日形成，襲擊了墨西哥海岸，然后于周日向北在路易斯安那州東南部登陸。根據美國國家氣象局報道，目前被認為是溫帶低氣壓的克里斯托瓦爾正經過密蘇里州。

熟悉煉油廠運營和企業的消息人士表示，路易斯安那州和密西西比州的10家煉油廠在颶風經過墨西哥灣期間仍在運營，總產量為270萬桶/天，占全國產能的14.5%。

美國能源信息署數據顯示，美國墨西哥灣地區的原油產量約占美國原油總產量的15%，天然氣產量約占美國天然氣總產量的5%。

About 31% Oil, 33% Gas Output Shut in U.S. Gulf After Storm

About 31%, or 575,541 barrels per day (bpd), of offshore crude oil production remain[ed] shut in the U.S.-regulated Gulf of Mexico on Tuesday following the passage of Tropical Storm Cristobal, the U.S. government said.

About 33%, or 898.32 million cubic feet a day (cfd), of offshore natural gas output remains shut in the U.S. Gulf after the storm's passage ashore, the U.S. Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) said.

On Monday, 34% of crude oil production and 35% of natural gas output was shut, according to BSEE.

The federal agency also said about 19%, or 123 production platforms, remained evacuated in the northern Gulf of Mexico. Also, one exploration rig, or about 12.5%, remained evacuated, BSEE said.

In total, the storm has shut in 2.5 million bpd and 3.5 billion cfd of natural gas production since Saturday, according to BSEE.

Cristobal formed on June 1, struck the Mexican coast and then passed north to make landfall in southeast Louisiana on Sunday. Currently, Cristobal, now considered an extratropical depression, is passing over Missouri, according to the U.S. National Weather Service.

Ten refineries in Louisiana and Mississippi, with a combined production capacity of 2.7 million bpd, or 14.5% of national capacity, remained in operation throughout the storm’s passage over the Gulf Coast, sources familiar with operations and companies said.

U.S. Gulf of Mexico waters account for about 15% of total U.S. crude production and 5% of U.S. natural gas output, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.
