Chevron Corp has started redeploying personnel and restoring production at its Gulf Of Mexico platforms that were closed for Hurricane Rafael, the company said on Sunday.

Chevron operates six platforms in the Gulf of Mexico - Anchor, Blind Faith, Jack/St. Malo, Tahiti, Petronius, and Big Foot.

Rafael has degenerated to a post-tropical remnant low after entering the Gulf on Wednesday as a major hurricane.

"We will continue to closely monitor the system," the company added.
