据路透社9月20日报道，美国墨西哥湾近海的石油和天然气生产于星期六渐渐恢复到正常水平。几天前，萨利飓风迫使大约150个钻井平台撤离。

Offshore U.S. Gulf of Mexico oil output continues to rebuild

Offshore U.S. Gulf of Mexico oil and gas production continued to return to normal levels on Saturday, days after Hurricane Sally forced the evacuations of some 150 platforms and drilling rigs.

There were 323,000 barrels of oil and 339 million cubic feet of natural gas output shut by offshore producers in the U.S. Gulf on Saturday, with 24 platforms awaiting the return of work crews, the Department of Interior said.

The shut ins were down from more than 500,000 barrels of oil and 800 million cubic feet of gas on Wednesday, the day Hurricane Sally struck the Alabama coast. In all, 149 production platforms and three drilling rigs evacuated ahead of the storm.
