UPDATE3: Chevron says won't know full storm damage until Wednesday SAN FRANCISCO (AFX) --

Chevron Corp. said Tuesday it will not know the extent of hurricane damage to its Gulf of Mexico oil and gas facilities until Wednesday. A Houston-based spokesman for the nation's second-biggest oil company said their aircraft were currently making initial damage assessments of offshore rigs and onshore facilities, including the 325,000 barrel-per-day Pascagoula refinery in Mississippi, which the company evacuated ahead of Katrina. Pascagoula is one of the biggest refineries along the Gulf Coast. Chevron evacuated 2,100 offshore employees and contract workers and shut its New Orleans office ahead of the hurricane. The company declined to say how much oil and gas output was shut by the storm
