US regulators said 58.29 percent of daily oil production and 38.62 percent of daily natural gas output in US-regulated areas of the Gulf of Mexico remained shut on Monday due to Hurricane Isaac, whose remnants were drenching sections of the Midwest.
The amount of shut oil output was down 13.21 percent from Sunday's 71.5 percent and natural gas production was down nearly 17 percent from 55.62 percent shut a day earlier. The US Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement said 804,335 barrels per day (bpd) of oil was still shut, down from 986,698 bpd on Sunday, and 1.738 billion cubic feet (bcf) per day in natural gas output was closed, down from 2.502 bcf per day on Sunday. Those figures are expected to fall in the coming days.
