Shell evacuated non-essential personnel from offshore facilities Tuesday because of the developing weather in the Gulf.
The company started moving rig workers Monday, ferrying 88 people to safety.
An estimated 100 additional workers came off the rigs Tuesday.
Crews scheduled for regular offshore leave were also coming back to land, and they said everyone had been keeping an eye on the weather, especially after their experiences with Rita and Katrina.
“We had a lot of damage, and we were nervous. Because out there we’ve got 35-foot seas, and we lost a lot of platforms. I mean, they sunk to the ground,” rig worker Sherard Benoit said.
Shell temporarily shut down 5 million cubic feet of gas production a day, but experts say that’s a drop in the bucket compared to the 8 billion cubic feet of gas produced every day in the Gulf.
They said the major concern is from Tropical Storm Dean. Early evacuations for that storm could begin as soon as Thursday.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
