HOUSTON, Nov 9 (Reuters) - Chevron said on Monday that production has been shut in at its Tahiti, Blind Faith and Petronius platforms ahead of Tropical Storm Ida's movement through the Gulf of Mexico. Tahiti, about 190 miles (306 km) south of New Orleans with capacity to produce 125,000 barrels per day of oil and 70 million cubic feet of natural gas per day, is the largest of the three, according to the company's website. Tahiti began producing in March. Blind Faith, about 160 miles (257 km) southeast of New Orleans, can produce up to 65,000 barrels oil and 55 million cubic feet of gas per day.

Petronius, about 130 miles (209 km) southeast of New Orleans, has capacity of 40,000 barrels of oil and 35 million cubic feet of gas per day.
