While continuing to track any changes in the decreasing threat level Beryl’s approach presents to their assets and workforce in the Gulf of Mexico, three oil majors, Shell, BP, and Chevron, have taken certain precautionary measures to ensure the safety of their offshore personnel. This hurricane has left a trail of destruction in its wake, including multiple deaths. When Beryl’s winds reached category five strength earlier this week, it became the earliest Atlantic storm to do so in June/July given how quickly it developed.

As Beryl’s danger intensity has lessened and the path it is likely to take is expected to have no impact on the most prominent offshore platforms and drilling locations in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, no major impact on offshore oil and gas production is anticipated. While the assets that were previously at risk are no longer thought to be so, some oil and gas operators have already put measures in place to tackle the threat of this hurricane and are vigilantly monitoring its progress.
