Aug. 29 (Bloomberg) -- Transocean Inc., the largest offshore oil driller, evacuated about 400 workers from rigs in the Gulf of Mexico ahead of Tropical Storm Gustav.
The Houston-based company plans to move more staff from three semi-submersible rigs today and tomorrow, according to an e-mail from spokesman Guy Cantwell.
The company will also move its eight semi-submersible drillships ``out of the path of the storm.''
About 1,150 employees were aboard rigs in the Gulf this morning, Cantwell said.
