據6月14日Financial Tribune報道，6月12日，熱帶風暴克里斯托瓦爾(Cristobal)周末席卷美國墨西哥灣地區，導致該地區約6.5%的原油生產處于中斷狀態。該地區的石油產量在颶風季節過去十幾天后接近正常水平。

美國安全和環境執法局(US Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement)最新數據顯示，從6月11日至6月12日，每天有逾12.26萬桶原油恢復供應。在風暴來臨之前，美國海灣地區近35%的石油產量已經停產。

BSEE表示，在關閉了635781桶/天的峰值產能后，截至6月12日，仍有120079桶/天的產量下降，占美國海灣石油總產量的6.49%。

BSEE在一份聲明中表示:“工作人員已經返回目前在海灣作業的所有鉆井平臺(非動態定位)。”

6月12日，美國墨西哥灣被疏散的鉆井平臺數量降至7個，約占該地區643個此類設施的1%。

美國能源信息署估計，美國海灣地區第二季度的石油產量為184萬桶/天，低于第一季度的196萬桶/天。

Offline Gulf of Mexico Oil Production Falls to 6.5%

oughly 6.5% of crude oil production in the US Gulf of Mexico remained offline on June 12 from Tropical Storm Cristobal's weekend saunter through the region, bringing the area's output closer to normalcy during what after a dozen days has already been an active hurricane season.

More than 122,600 barrels per day of crude came back online from June 11 to June 12, according to daily updates from the US Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement. Almost 35% of the US Gulf production was shut-in in advance of the storm.

After a peak of 635,781 bpd was shut in, BSEE said 120,079 bpd remained down on June 12, or 6.49% of total US Gulf oil production.

"Personnel have returned to all rigs (non-dynamically positioned) currently operating in the Gulf," BSEE said in a statement.

The number of platforms evacuated in the US Gulf dropped to seven June 12, or about 1% of the 643 such facilities in the region, from 20 or 3% a day earlier.

The US Energy Information Administration estimates the US Gulf oil production in the second quarter at 1.84 million bpd, down from 1.96 million bpd in Q1.
