These evacuations are equivalent to 43.8% of 819
manned platforms and 64.2% of 134 rigs currently operating in the GOM.
This shut-in oil production is equivalent to 96.2%
of daily production of oil in GOM, which is currently approximately
1.5 million BOPD.
This shut-in gas production is equivalent to 62.4%
of the daily production of gas in the GOM, which is currently
approximately 10.0 BCFPD.
The cumulative shut-in oil production for the period
7/8/05-7/11/05 is 4,037,518 bbls, which is equivalent to 0.74% of the
yearly production of oil in the GOM which is approximately 547.5
million barrels.
The cumulative shut-in gas production 7/8/05-7/11/05
is 18.12 BCF, which is equivalent to 0.5% of the yearly production of
gas in the GOM which is 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.
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 through advanced science and technology research.
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, with Fiscal Year 2004 disbursements of
approximately $8 billion and more than $143 billion since 1982. The
Land and Water Conservation Fund, which pays for cooperative
conservation, grants to states, and Federal land acquisition, gets
nearly $1 billion a year.
