Woodside Energy shut-in oil and gas output on Wednesday at its Shenzi offshore production platform in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, the company said.

An onshore refinery lost power prompting the shut-in, a Woodside spokesperson said.

The company earlier had partially evacuated staff from the platform ahead of the arrival of Hurricane Francine.
