**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 8.93% of daily production of oil in GOM, which is
approximately 1.7 million BOPD. The 151,777 barrels per day that is
currently shut-in is approximately 0.77% of the 19.7 million barrels
consumed in the U.S. each day.
This shut-in gas production is
equivalent to 4.83% of the daily production of gas in the GOM, which
is approximately 12.3 BCFPD. The 594.29 MMCF per day that is
currently shut-in is approximately 0.98% of the 60.184 BCF consumed in
the U.S. each day.
The cumulative shut-in oil
production for the period 9/11/04-12/16/04 is 35,347,237 bbls, which
is equivalent to 5.843% of the yearly production of oil in the GOM
which is approximately 605 million barrels.
The cumulative shut-in gas
production 9/11/04-12/16/04 is 140.071 BCF, which is equivalent to
3.148% 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. Central Time. 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.
The
Minerals Management Service is the federal bureau 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 (OCS) in
federal offshore waters. Currently, about 30 percent of the oil and
23 percent of the gas produced domestically comes from these federal
waters. The bureau also collects, accounts for, and disburses mineral
revenues from Federal and American Indian lands. MMS
disbursed approximately $8 billion in Fiscal Year 2004 and more than
$143 billion since it 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.
