Tropical Storm Don to Make Landfall Late Friday

- Tropical Storm Don to Make Landfall Late Friday

Friday, July 29, 2011
Rigzone Staff

Tropical Storm Don, the fourth tropical storm in the Atlantic this season, is expected to make landfall late Friday or early Saturday, according to the National Hurricane Center.

At 0900 GMT, the storm was located 290 miles southeast of Corpus Christi, Texas, headed west-northwest near 14 mph. Maximum sustained winds were near 50 mph.

According to the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEMRE), approximately 6.8 percent of the current GOM oil production has been shut-in and 2.8 percent of the natural gas production.

According to BP, it is starting to send workers back to its oil and gas platforms in the GOM. There is no production impact at Mad Dog and Holstein as both facilities have been completing scheduled maintenance.

Along with majors Shell, Apache, Chevron, BP and BHP, Enbridge has also evacuated personnel from its West Cameron 509 platform.

Northern Natural Gas will shut-in production from its Matagorda Offshore Pipleline System in GOM.

Refineries such as Valero's 115,000-barrel-a-day-plant, ConocoPhillips' 247,000-barrel-a-day Sweeny refinery, Citgo's 165,000-barrel-a-day facility and Flint Hills Resources 300,000-barrel-a-day-plant are located in the storm's path, near Corpus Christi.

Tropical Storm Don isn't expected to become a hurricane.
