*These statistics reflect evacuations and shut-in production
from Hurricanes Katrina and Rita (remaining)* |
These evacuations are equivalent to 16.36% of 819
manned platforms and 0.75% of 134 rigs currently operating in the
Gulf of Mexico (GOM).
Today’s shut-in oil production is 615,623 BOPD. This shut-in oil
production is equivalent to 41.04% of the daily oil production in
the GOM, which is currently approximately 1.5 million BOPD.
Today’s shut-in gas production is 3.196 BCFPD. This shut-in gas
production is equivalent to 31.96% of the daily gas production in
the GOM, which is currently approximately 10 BCFPD.
The cumulative shut-in oil production for the period
8/26/05-11/23/05 is 91,731,141 bbls, which is equivalent to 16.755%
of the yearly production of oil in the GOM (approximately 547.5
million barrels).
The cumulative shut-in gas production 8/26/05-11/23/05 is 473.547
BCF, which is equivalent to 12.974 % 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 (OCS) 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
MMS COOP team please call the COOP Operations Center at
