    Isaias shuts in a quarter of Gulf oil output | Upstream Oil and Gas Daily Dose — 2026-10-08
    Oct 8 2026
    The Marine Minerals Administration reports that, based on operator reports submitted October 7, about 25 percent of Gulf of America oil production and about 16 percent of gas production had been shut in, with personnel evacuated from eight manned platforms; Bloomberg reports the system has since strengthened into Hurricane Isaias with landfall expected late Friday or early Saturday east of the main Louisiana and Texas assets. Shell's October 7 update note guides third-quarter Upstream production to a range that brackets the prior quarter's actual output, with confirmed results due October 29. EPA says a second oil and gas reconsideration proposal is days away, while Valaris, W&T Offshore and Pine Cliff Energy disclosed contract awards, a reserve-based lending conversion and an expanded Alberta drilling program.

    Chevron agrees to sell Hess Midstream stake | Upstream Oil and Gas Daily Dose — 2026-10-07
    Oct 7 2026
    Chevron agreed to sell its stakes in Hess Midstream and in DJ Basin crude oil midstream assets as part of a broader restructuring of its Bakken midstream agreements, taking about 3.7 billion dollars of Hess Midstream debt off its balance sheet at closing in exchange for 200 million dollars in cash and revised contracts, according to BOE Report's account of the companies' statements. The Marine Minerals Administration estimates roughly nine percent of Gulf of America oil production was shut in as of a Tuesday snapshot from one operator's reports ahead of Invest 92L. Vaalco completed its Gabon Phase 3 program and reported an initial stabilized rate of about 2,000 gross barrels of oil per day from its final development well.
