These
cumulative numbers reflect updated production numbers from all
previous reports. The daily 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 daily 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.
The Minerals Management Service is
the federal agency in the U.S. Department of the Interior that manages
the nation’s oil, natural gas, and other mineral resources on the
Outer Continental Shelf in Federal offshore waters. The agency also
collects, accounts for, and disburses mineral revenues from Federal
and American Indian lands. MMS disbursed more than $8 billion
in FY 2003 and more than $135 billion since the agency was created in
1982. Nearly $1 billion from those revenues go into the Land and
Water Conservation Fund annually for the acquisition and development
of state and Federal park and recreation lands.
