Offshore production in the Gulf Coast and power along the Louisiana coast are starting to return. The BSEE estimates that only 54% percent of the gas production in the Gulf of Mexico is now shut in versus 77% at the end of last week. Entergy also stated that they have restored nearly “90% of the 948,000 total customers who lost power”.

The next threat to the Gulf region is TS Nicholas, which will bring heavy rainfall and potential flooding to the TX and Louisiana coastline. This storm has the potential of knock out some Gulf coast refineries, and other industrial demand. It does not look to be near any offshore production rigs.
