*These statistics reflect evacuations
and shut-in production from Hurricanes Katrina and Rita (remaining)*
These evacuations are equivalent
to 23.20% of 819 manned platforms and 3.73% of 134 rigs currently
operating in the Gulf of Mexico (GOM).
Today’s shut-in oil production
is 736,279 BOPD. This shut-in oil production is equivalent to 49.09%
of the daily oil production in the GOM, which is currently
approximately 1.5 million BOPD.
Today’s shut-in gas production
is 4.016 BCFPD. This shut-in gas production is equivalent to 40.16%
of the daily gas production in the GOM, which is currently
approximately 10 BCFPD.
The cumulative shut-in oil
production for the period 8/26/05-11/10/05 is 82,735,894 bbls, which
is equivalent to 15.112% of the yearly production of oil in the GOM
(approximately 547.5 million barrels).
The cumulative shut-in gas
production 8/26/05-11/10/05 is 426.426 BCF, which is equivalent to
11.683% of the yearly production of gas in the GOM (approximately 3.65
TCF).
These
cumulative numbers reflect updated production numbers from all
previous reports. The reports only represent input received by 11:30
a.m. CST. 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.
Shut-ins for oil and gas
production are standard procedures conducted by industry for safety
reasons. Once facilities have been inspected and all standard checks
have been completed the production for these facilities will be
brought back on line.
The MMS will continue to update
the shut-in statistics at 1:00 PM CST each day until these statistics
are no longer significant.
MMS, an agency of the U.S. Department of the Interior,
manages offshore oil and gas exploration as
well as renewable and alternative energy sources such as wind, wave,
and solar on 1.76 billion acres of the Outer Continental Shelf while
protecting the human, marine, and coastal environments. The OCS
provides 30 percent of oil and 21 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, and contributes to the Land and Water Conservation
Fund and other special use funds, with Fiscal Year 2005 disbursements
of approximately $9.9 billion and more than $153 billion since 1982.
