*These statistics reflect evacuations and shut-in production
from Hurricanes Katrina and Rita (remaining)* |
These evacuations are equivalent to 18.19% of 819
manned platforms and 3.73% of 134 rigs currently operating in the Gulf
of Mexico (GOM).
Today’s shut-in oil production is 725,423 BOPD. This
shut-in oil production is equivalent to 48.36% of the daily oil
production in the GOM, which is currently approximately 1.5 million
BOPD.
Today’s shut-in gas production is 3.714 BCFPD. This
shut-in gas production is equivalent to 37.14% of the daily gas
production in the GOM, which is currently approximately 10 BCFPD.
The cumulative shut-in oil production for the period
8/26/05-11/15/05 is 86,394,654 bbls, which is equivalent to 15.780% of
the yearly production of oil in the GOM (approximately 547.5 million
barrels).
The cumulative shut-in gas production
8/26/05-11/15/05 is 445.760 BCF, which is equivalent to 12.213% 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. CST. 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 CST each day until these statistics are no
longer significant.
MMS, an agency of the U.S. Department of the
Interior, manages offshore oil and gas exploration as well as
renewable and alternative energy sources such as wind, wave, and solar
on 1.76 billion acres of the Outer Continental Shelf while protecting
the human, marine, and coastal environments. The OCS provides 30
percent of oil and 21 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, and
contributes to the Land and Water Conservation Fund and other special
use funds, with Fiscal Year 2005 disbursements of approximately $9.9
billion and more than $153 billion since 1982.
The MMS would like to inform everyone that it
activated its Continuity of Operations Plan (COOP) for
Hurricane Rita on Thursday, September 22nd. To contact the
