HOUSTON, Sept. 7 (Reuters) - U.S. oil and natural gas supplies would
be devastated if another strong storm hits while the Gulf of Mexico is
recovering from Hurricane Katrina, energy analysts said on Wednesday.
"We certainly can't stand another storm," said Tom Bentz, vice
president and senior energy analyst for BNP Paribas Commodity Futures
Inc. "That's why people are watching the storms out there now."
Two hurricanes and a tropical storm were churning in the Atlantic
Ocean on Wednesday. None of the current storms are forecast to enter
the Gulf.
The 2005 hurricane season, which lasts until Nov. 30, has been one of
the most active on record and is just reaching the traditional peak of
activity in early September.
