Until Gulf producers are goddamn sure this thing is over, the only movement will be storage oil and gas. On the water in tankers or in onshore storage to be loaded into tankers. The wells will not flow until they're confident Shitler or someone else won't do something else glactically stupid. Also, the careful choreography of tanker and LNG carrier traffic is thrown to the wind. It will take weeks to months to get that back to normal WHEN normal production restarts.
