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.

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 23 percent of natural gas produced domestically,
and sand used for coastal restoration. MMS’s collects, accounts for,
and disburses mineral revenues from Federal and American Indian lands,
with fiscal year 2004 disbursements of around $8 billion and more than
