*These statistics are reflective of
evacuations and shut-in production from Hurricanes Katrina (remaining)
and Rita*
These evacuations are equivalent
to 16.61% of 819 manned platforms and 11.19% of 134 rigs currently
operating in the Gulf of Mexico (GOM).
Today’s shut-in oil production
is 877,275 BOPD. This shut-in oil production is equivalent to 58.49%
of the daily oil production in the GOM, which is currently
approximately 1.5 million BOPD. Approximately 35% of shut-in oil is
due to onshore infrastructure problems.
Today’s shut-in gas production
is 3.482BCFPD. This shut-in gas production is equivalent to 34.82% of
the daily gas production in the GOM, which is currently approximately
10 BCFPD.
The cumulative shut-in oil
production for the period 8/26/05-9/20/05 is 26,000,491 bbls, which is
equivalent to 4.749 % of the yearly production of oil in the GOM
(approximately 547.5 million barrels).
The cumulative shut-in gas
production 8/26/05-9/20/05 is 120.413 BCF, which is equivalent to
3.299% of the yearly production of gas in the GOM (approximately 3.65
TCF).
These
cumulative numbers reflect updated production numbers from all
previous reports. The reports only represent input received by 11:30
a.m. CDT. 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.
Shut-ins for oil and gas
production are standard procedures conducted by industry for safety
reasons. Once facilities have been inspected and all standard checks
have been completed the production for these facilities will be
brought back on line.
The MMS will continue to update
the shut-in statistics at 1:00 PM CDT each day until these statistics
are no longer significant.
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. The OCS provides 30 percent
of oil and 21 percent of natural gas produced domestically, as well as
sand used for coastal restoration. MMS collects, accounts for, and
disburses mineral revenues from Federal and American Indian lands, and
contributes to the Land and Water Conservation Fund and other special
use funds,
with Fiscal Year 2004 disbursements of about $8 billion and more than
$143 billion since 1982.
