Hmm,
More Than A Quarter Of US Gulf Of Mexico Oil Output Offline
HOUSTON, Nov 9 (Reuters) – More than a quarter of crude oil production and nearly 17% of natural gas output in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico was offline in the aftermath of Hurricane Rafael, the U.S. offshore energy regulator said on Saturday.
The late season storm entered the Gulf of Mexico as a powerful category three hurricane on Wednesday and moved into the central Gulf, prompting oil firms to evacuate dozens of production and drilling facilities. Rafael has weakened into a tropical storm, but will meander in the central Gulf for at least the next two days, the National Hurricane Center said.
There were 490,241 barrels of oil and 313 million cubic feet of natural gas shut-in on Saturday, offshore regulator Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) reported.
U.S. Gulf of Mexico federal offshore oil production accounts for 15% of total U.S. crude oil production and 2% of dry natural gas production.
Oil and gas workers have been evacuated from 41 of the 371 manned production platforms, and seven drilling vessels have been moved out of the storm’s path, BSEE said.
Storm losses this week have totaled 1.59 million barrels of oil and 826 million cubic feet of natural gas, according to BSEE data.

It appears that another fake fabricated aspect of the Harris campaign was the notion she received a record amount of donations by a record number of donors.
But her FEC report shows thousands—maybe tens of thousands—of “contribution refunds.”
Watch this:
Moar on it
Now that would be Dasting AF for sure.
Bank of America Bracing for $800,000,000 Loss As Investigators Probe BofA, JPMorgan Chase and Wells Fargo’s Alleged Refusal To Reimburse Customers
The second-largest US bank by total assets says it’s preparing for significant losses due to ongoing regulatory issues.
In a new filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Bank of America says it faces a “reasonably possible and estimable” loss of up to $800 million due to investigations from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) and other federal regulators.
The Corporation has been responding to an inquiry from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) regarding the Corporation’s processing of electronic payments of funds through the Zelle network.
The CFPB staff has initiated discussions with the Corporation to pursue a resolution of the inquiry or file an enforcement action. The Corporation is evaluating next steps, including litigation.”
Bank of America also says it’s engaging with several unnamed federal regulators over its anti-money laundering and sanctions compliance programs and a resolution of the discussions could result in “one or more public orders by the regulators.”
Investigators are reportedly probing BofA, along with JPMorgan Chase and Wells Fargo to determine whether the banks are properly reimbursing victims of fraud on the Zelle payments network and whether the banks are effectively eliminating scammer’s accounts.
Zelle has also attracted the attention of US lawmakers.
The Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations said in July that Bank of America, Wells Fargo and JPMorgan Chase had collectively declined to reimburse $880 million in disputed transactions on Zelle between 2021 and 2023.
The subcommittee found that the three trillion-dollar banks only reimbursed victims 38% of the time for reported Zelle scams in 2023. In 2019, the three reportedly reimbursed victims of Zelle scams 62% of the time.

Reports suggest Pentagon officials are discussing ways to counter potential orders from President-elect Trump. Some see this as a brewing clash between Trump and the military leadership.
Pentagon officials are already discussing how they can countermand an order from President Donald Trump if they disagree with it.
Scott Jennings absolutely ripped them to pieces.
"[They're] already having discussions to countermand the commander-in-chief! […] I don't like the idea of non-elected government people, at any level, having meetings with each other about how to thwart the duly-elected president of the United States!"
"What is Donald Trump supposed to think now? You already got the government plotting against you!"
