    Isaias shuts in a quarter of Gulf oil output | Upstream Oil and Gas Daily Dose — 2026-10-08

    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.

    BP explored then exited Devon Eagle Ford deal | Upstream Oil and Gas Daily Dose — 2026-09-26

    Reuters reporting cited by OilPrice says BP entered the data room for Devon Energy's roughly 90,000-net-acre Eagle Ford business after it opened in late August, and one source said BP ultimately walked away; no transaction has been announced. Horizon Petroleum reports preliminary cleanup-phase flowback of 5.5 million cubic feet per day of gas at its Lachowice-7 well in southern Poland, cautioning the rate is not representative of stabilized production. Vantris Energy says it won two offshore transportation and installation work orders from Petronas Carigali and PTTEP units worth about 441.8 million dollars combined.
