(Alliance News) - Royal Dutch Shell PLC on Thursday said Hurricane Ida had damaged one of its offshore transport stations.
The oil major identified damage to its West Delta-143 facilities during an initial flyover of its assets in the hurricane's path.
WD-143 is a transfer station for production from Shell's assets in the Mars corridor in the Mississippi Canyon area of the Gulf of Mexico to onshore crude terminals.
Hurricane Ida formed on August 26 and is still active across parts of America.
Notes Perdido asset in the southwestern Gulf of Mexico was never disrupted by the hurricane, and its floating production, storage and offloading vessel, the Turritella is currently back on line.
"When it is safe to do so, we will send personnel offshore to provide a closer inspection of these facilities to understand the full extent of the damage and the degree to which our production in the Gulf of Mexico will likely be impacted," said Shell.
