**Shut-in production rates do
not include production lost due to the destroyed platforms.
These evacuations are equivalent to 1.18% of 764
manned platforms and 0.85% of 117 rigs currently operating in the GOM.
This shut-in oil production is equivalent to 8.27%
of daily production of oil in GOM, which is approximately 1.7 million
BOPD. The 140,564 barrels per day that is currently shut-in is
approximately 0.71% of the 19.7 million barrels consumed in the U.S.
each day.
This shut-in gas production is equivalent to 4.54%
of the daily production of gas in the GOM, which is approximately 12.3
BCFPD. The 558.69 MMCF per day that is currently shut-in is
approximately 0.93% of the 60.184 BCF consumed in the U.S. each day.
The cumulative shut-in oil production for the period
9/11/04-1/18/05 is 40,140,992 bbls, which is equivalent to 6.635% of
the yearly production of oil in the GOM which is approximately 605
million barrels.
The cumulative shut-in gas production
9/11/04-1/18/05 is 159.22 BCF, which is equivalent to 3.578% of the
yearly production of gas in the GOM which is approximately 4.45 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 23 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
around $8 billion and more than $143 billion since 1982. The Land and
Water Conservation Fund, which pays for acquisition of state and
federal park and recreation land, gets nearly $1 billion a year.
