*These statistics reflect evacuations and shut-in
production from Hurricanes Katrina (remaining) and Rita*
These evacuations are
equivalent to 32.48% of 819 manned platforms and 2.99% of 134 rigs
currently operating in the Gulf of Mexico (GOM).
Today’s shut-in oil production
is 1,062,530 BOPD. This shut-in oil production is equivalent to
70.84% of the daily oil production in the GOM, which is currently
approximately 1.5 million BOPD.
Today’s shut-in gas production
is 6.042 BCFPD. This shut-in gas production is equivalent to 60.42%
of the daily gas production in the GOM, which is currently
approximately 10 BCFPD.
The cumulative shut-in oil
production for the period 8/26/05-10/11/05 is 54,557,243 bbls, which
is equivalent to 9.965 % of the yearly production of oil in the GOM
(approximately 547.5 million barrels).
The cumulative shut-in gas
production 8/26/05-10/11/05 is 271.661 BCF, which is equivalent to
7.443 % 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.
