*These statistics reflect
evacuations and shut-in production from Hurricanes Katrina
(remaining) Rita (remaining) and Wilma*
These evacuations are equivalent to 27.84% of 819
manned platforms and 5.22% of 134 rigs currently operating in the Gulf
of Mexico (GOM).
Today’s shut-in oil production is 1,022,313 BOPD.
This shut-in oil production is equivalent to 68.15% of the daily oil
production in the GOM, which is currently approximately 1.5 million
BOPD.
Today’s shut-in gas production is 5.559 BCFPD. This
shut-in gas production is equivalent to 55.59% of the daily gas
production in the GOM, which is currently approximately 10 BCFPD.
The cumulative shut-in oil production for the period
8/26/05-10/27/05 is 70,595,715 bbls, which is equivalent to 12.894% of
the yearly production of oil in the GOM (approximately 547.5 million
barrels).
The cumulative shut-in gas production
8/26/05-10/27/05 is 359.216 BCF, which is equivalent to 9.842 % 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.
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
