Offshore Oil Workers Evacuate as Hurricane Ida Approaches US
Fleeing Offshore Oil Workers Amid Hurricane Approach
Hurricane Ida is expected to make landfall in Louisiana on Sunday August 29 as a possible Category 4 hurricane with devastating worries.
To prepare for this storm, energy companies have been airlifting their workers from oil platforms in the Gulf of Mexico since Thursday.
Major companies like Chevron, Equinor and Royal Dutch Shell just to name a few, have removed their workers from some platforms, while BHP states they’ll remove their workers and also shut-in production.
