*These statistics reflect evacuations and shut-in production
from Hurricanes Katrina and Rita (remaining)* |
These evacuations are equivalent to 16.12% of 819
manned platforms and 0.00% of 134 rigs currently operating in the
Gulf of Mexico (GOM).
Today’s shut-in oil production is 476,035 BOPD.
This shut-in oil production is equivalent to 31.74% of the daily oil
production in the GOM, which is currently approximately 1.5 million
BOPD.
Today’s shut-in gas production is 2.475 BCFPD.
This shut-in gas production is equivalent to 24.75% of the daily gas
production in the GOM, which is currently approximately 10 BCFPD.
The cumulative shut-in oil production for the
period 8/26/05-12/07/05 is 99,456,956 bbls, which is equivalent to
18.166% of the yearly production of oil in the GOM (approximately
547.5 million barrels).
The cumulative shut-in gas production
8/26/05-12/07/05 is 514.448 BCF, which is equivalent to 14.030 % 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
