About 25% of current oil production in the Gulf, or 511,619 barrels of oil per day, has been shut in, the agency said, citing operator reports.
The storm comes as the Atlantic hurricane season has been unusually quiet this year due to a strong El Niño, which disrupts storm formation over that ocean.
