BP Plc, the largest Gulf oil producer, said it had issued instructions to shut down oil and gas production at its seven platforms in the Gulf and stepped up worker evacuations as weather conditions deteriorated.
Anadarko Petroleum Corp had already shut down production and evacuated workers at four of its eight Gulf platforms by the time Debby strengthened into a named storm, including the Independence Hub, which can produce up to a billion cubic feet of natural gas a day.
“Tropical storm conditions are expected to first reach the coast within the warning area by Sunday night, making outside preparations difficult or dangerous,” the forecasters warned.
The combination of storm surge and high tide could cause flooding in normally dry areas near the coast, they said.

He needs to get some tee times everyday this week.
I understand that St Joseph’s Bay Country Club in Florida has some open Tee times this week. Maybe he could play there on Friday.
A lot of possible direction but NOT in the direction of Texas.
It does not seem to be having much effect on oil futures this am. Oil down $.76 to $79.00/barrel.

So Sorry,
A 5X posting error. I must be a winner !
For this thread! But don’t be sad, we had a thirteen’er just yesterday. =D
Two items to consider:
First, a relatively minor storm with relatively minor shut-ins (percentage of production). Still a storm, but at this time it is likely to move North and/or East, away from most platforms.
Secondly, the WTI oil delivery to Cushing, OK is almost impossible to be effected by this storm. That is the NYMEX oil index.
Did you see this? Not good for folks on the Gulf Coast of Florida...
