*These statistics reflect
evacuations and shut-in production from Hurricanes Katrina
(remaining) and Rita*
These evacuations are equivalent to 35.29% of 819
manned platforms and 4.47% of 134 rigs currently operating in the
Gulf of Mexico (GOM).
Today’s shut-in oil production is 1,202,364 BOPD.
This shut-in oil production is equivalent to 80.16% of the daily oil
production in the GOM, which is currently approximately 1.5 million
BOPD.
Today’s shut-in gas production is 6.628 BCFPD.
This shut-in gas production is equivalent to 66.28% of the daily gas
production in the GOM, which is currently approximately 10 BCFPD.
The cumulative shut-in oil production for the
period 8/26/05-10/6/05 is 48,959,351 bbls, which is equivalent to
8.942 % of the yearly production of oil in the GOM (approximately
547.5 million barrels).
The cumulative shut-in gas production
8/26/05-10/6/05 is 240.074 BCF, which is equivalent to 6.577 % 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.

Operations Plan (COOP) for Hurricane Rita on Thursday,
