From Rigzone
Oil and gas operators on Monday continued to shut in production and evacuate workers from Gulf of Mexico production platforms and drilling rigs as they braced for Tropical Storm Isaac, which is expected to strengthen and make landfall as a hurricane Wednesday morning in southeastern Louisiana.
Isaac is expected to make landfall on the anniversary of Hurricane Katrina”s descent in New Orleans on Aug. 29, 2005. Katrina was the deadliest and most destructive of the 2005 Atlantic hurricane season and one of the five deadliest hurricanes in U.S. history, according to the National Hurricane Center (NHC).
