No hurricanes affecting Mexican oil in November and I'm not sure if any effect in October either. Their production is pretty well protected from hurricanes and the effect of earlier hurricanes was mainly due to evacuation of platforms, not damage, in contrast to US production.

Are you sure?  I thought at least one of them resulted in Mexican platforms being evacuated.  Epsilon, or something like that.

You're right about Oct to some degree. Hurricane Stan forced evacuation of 5 platforms and shut loading docks for a short period the first week of October, but is said to have had only small impact on production and no damage to oil facilities. Epsilon was off in the Atlantic much later.
