Factbox-US Gulf Coast energy facilities hit by storm Francine

(Reuters) -Energy facilities along the U.S. Gulf Coast scaled back operations and evacuated some production sites as storm Francine came ashore in Southern Louisiana.

    The hurricane center briefly upgraded the storm from Category 1 to Category 2 just before it made landfall, and it has since been downgraded to a tropical storm, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said in its latest advisory.

About 39% of crude production and 49% of natural gas output in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico were shut on Wednesday as Hurricane Francine barreled towards the Louisiana coast, the U.S. Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement said. Such interruptions have the potential to affect U.S. oil supplies, leading to upward pressure on prices for domestic oil and offshore crude grades.

The U.S. Gulf of Mexico accounts for about 15% of all domestic oil production and 2% of natural gas output, according to federal data.

Hurricane Francine has likely disrupted about 1.5 million barrels of US oil production, which will reduce September production in the Gulf of Mexico by around 50,000 bpd, UBS said in a note.

The port of Brownsville near the border with Mexico and other smaller terminals in Texas remained closed, while other ports, including Houston, Galveston, Corpus Christi, Texas City and Freeport, were working with restrictions. Ports in Houma, Morgan City and the Louisiana Offshore Oil Port were closed to navigation, according to the U.S. Coast Guard.
