(Updates Exxon numbers)
Sept 20 (Reuters) - A gathering storm in the eastern Gulf of Mexico on
Thursday led several oil companies to evacuate staff from offshore rigs and
reduce production of crude and natural gas.
As of Thursday morning, some 27.7 percent of the Gulf's crude output and
16.7 percent of its gas output was shut, according to a report from the
Minerals Management Service.
The Gulf of Mexico is home to about 1.3 million barrels per day of domestic
crude output and 7.7 billion cubic feet per day of natural gas production,
according to the latest government figures.
Below is a list of reported supply disruptions:
