, Reuters reported, noting that so far no impact on GOM production had been noted. On Wednesday, Shell said it had begun evacuating non-essential crew at its Perdido asset in the Gulf of Mexico, as it launched the process of shutting in oil production under the threat of Hurricane Beryl , which reached a Category 5 level earlier in the day, according to Reuters.
