BP has suspended production at two of its platforms in the Gulf of Mexico in preparation for Hurricane Isaias. The company has evacuated all non-essential personnel from its Na Kika and Thunder Horse platforms.
The move comes as Hurricane Isaias, currently a Category 1 storm, is projected to strengthen before making landfall along the U.S. East Coast. The hurricane's track poses a potential threat to offshore energy infrastructure in the Gulf, a critical region for U.S. oil and gas production.
