Sept. 9 (Bloomberg) -- BP Plc, Europe's second-largest oil company, finished evacuating so-called non-essential workers from Gulf of Mexico oil and natural-gas platforms in advance of Hurricane Ike.
London-based BP made the comments in a recorded telephone message. As of 8 a.m. Miami time, Ike was a category 1 hurricane, the weakest on the 5-tier Saffir-Simpson scale, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said. The storm is expected to strike the southeast Texas coast on Saturday.
The Hague-based Royal Dutch Shell Plc is Europe's largest oil company.
