MMA discontinues daily hurricane activity reports when <10% of production is shut-in. Yesterday, oil production reached that threshold (9.92% shut-in) and gas fell just short (11.07% shut-in), so it is assumed there will be no further production updates for Isaias.

Per MMA, nearly 1.3 million barels/day of Gulf of America oil production was shut-in as of noon ET today. Given that ~95% of Gulf production is from deepwater facilities, the high shut-in volume and the storm track (map below) tell us that major deepwater platforms in the eastern areas of the Gulf are shut-in. It’s also apparent that operators are prudently shutting in platforms well outside the projected hurricane track.
Isaias looks like a problem for the Eastern Gulf; 25% of oil production shut-in
