**Shut-in production rates do
not include production lost because of destroyed platforms.
These evacuations are equivalent
to 1.18% of 764 manned platforms and 0.85% of 117 rigs currently
operating in the Gulf of Mexico (GOM).
This shut-in oil production is
equivalent to 7.42% of daily production of oil in the GOM, which is
approximately 1.7 million barrels of oil per day (BOPD). The 126,090
BOPD currently shut-in is approximately 0.64% of the 19.7 million
barrels consumed in the U.S. each day. Of the remaining shut-in oil
production, a few shut-in deepwater facilities account for
approximately 60% of the 126,090 barrels. The operators of these
facilities have “tentatively” scheduled to be back online by the end
of the first quarter 2005. Because there
will be few weekly changes as a result of these plans, this is the
last update on shut-in production that MMS will issue.
This shut-in gas production is
equivalent to 1.19% of the daily production of gas in the GOM, which
is approximately 12.3 billion cubic feet per day (BCFPD). The 146.50
million cubic feet per day (MMCF) per day currently shut-in is
approximately 0.24% of the 60.184 BCF consumed in the U.S. each day.
The cumulative shut-in oil
production for the period 9/11/04-2/14/05 is 43,841,245 bbls, which is
equivalent to 7.246% of the yearly production of oil in the GOM, which
is approximately 605 million barrels.
The cumulative shut-in gas
production 9/11/04-2/14/05 is 172.259 BCF, which is equivalent to
3.871% of the yearly production of gas in the GOM, which is
approximately 4.45 TCF.
These
cumulative numbers reflect updated production numbers from all
previous reports. The reports only represent input received by 11:30
a.m. Central Time. If a company does not report by 11:30 a.m. it is
not included in the special information release, but it is included in
the cumulative shut-in production. This may result in an apparent
increase in the cumulative report amount.
MMS,
part of the U.S. Department of the Interior, oversees 1.76 billion
acres of the Outer Continental Shelf, managing offshore energy and
minerals while protecting the human, marine, and coastal environments
through advanced science and technology research. The OCS provides 30
percent of oil and 23 percent of natural gas produced domestically,
and sand used for coastal restoration. MMS collects, accounts for, and
disburses mineral revenues from Federal and American Indian lands,
with fiscal year 2004 disbursements of around $8 billion and more than
$143 billion since 1982. The Land and Water Conservation Fund, which
pays for acquisition of state and federal park and recreation land,
gets nearly $1 billion a year.
