bp is closely monitoring Tropical Storm Rafael in the Caribbean Sea to protect our personnel and operations in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico. With forecasts indicating the tropical storm could develop into a hurricane and move into the Gulf of Mexico in the next few days, we have taken steps to secure our offshore facilities and remove some non-essential personnel from our Argos, Atlantis, Mad Dog, Na Kika and Thunder Horse platforms.
Safety is our top priority, and we will continue to monitor weather conditions as we look after our people and our assets.
For general information about our tropical storm preparations, please read our feature How bp tracks weather to keep its people and assets safe.
bp is committed to safe and reliable operations in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico, where it operates four large production facilities and drilling rigs, is one of the industry’s largest leaseholders and is a leading producer of oil and natural gas.
During the Atlantic hurricane season (June 1-Nov. 30) bp will be closely monitoring tropical storm activity and hurricanes that could impact our operations in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico.
