MMS Completes Assessment of Destroyed and Damaged Facilities
from Hurricanes Gustav and Ike
Number of Destroyed Platforms Exceeds Number from Hurricane
Katrina
NEW ORLEANS
Minerals Management Service (MMS) Gulf of Mexico
Regional Office staff have completed the assessment of destroyed and
damaged facilities from Hurricanes Gustav and Ike. The assessment
was conducted in coordination with the oil and gas operators who
report the status of their production platforms to MMS following a
storm.
MMS estimates that
approximately 2,127 oil and gas production platforms in the Gulf of
Mexico were exposed to hurricane conditions, with winds greater than
74 miles per hour, from Hurricanes Gustav and Ike. As of August 2008, there
were more than 3,800 production platforms in the Gulf of Mexico;
these structures range in size from single well caissons in water
depths of ten feet to a large complex facility in water depth
greater than 7,000 feet.
Final results of
the assessment indicate that 60 platforms were destroyed as a result
of Hurricanes Gustav and Ike. Some platforms which had been
previously reported as having extensive damage were re-assessed and
determined to be destroyed. The destroyed platforms produced 13,657
barrels of oil and 96,490,000 cubic feet of gas daily or 1.05% of
the oil and 1.3% of the gas produced daily in the Gulf of Mexico.
For information on operators and locations of these destroyed
platforms, see Table 1.
In the final assessment, MMS has confirmed that 31
platforms with extensive damage may
take from three to six months to repair. Damage that would be
considered extensive could include underwater structural damage or
major damage to pipelines carrying the oil or natural gas to shore.
For information
about operators and the location of platforms with extensive damage,
see Table 2.
Also
in the final assessment, MMS has confirmed that 93 platforms with
moderate damage which may take from one
to three months to repair. Damage that would be considered moderate
may include major topside damage to critical process equipment such
as the platform’s compressor or damaged risers or flex joints where
pipelines connect to the platforms.
This will be the final report on damaged and
destroyed platforms from Hurricanes Gustav and Ike.
