**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 25.22% of daily
production of oil in GOM, which is approximately 1.7 million BOPD. The
428,785 barrels per day that is currently shut-in is approximately
2.18% of the 19.7 million barrels consumed in the U.S. each day.
This shut-in gas production is equivalent to 12.55% of the daily
production of gas in the GOM, which is approximately 12.3 BCFPD. The
1,544.08 MMCF per day that is currently shut-in is approximately 2.57%
of the 60.184 BCF consumed in the U.S. each day.
The cumulative shut-in oil production for the period
9/11/04-10/21/04 is 22,994,168 bbls, which is equivalent to 3.801% of
the yearly production of oil in the GOM which is approximately 605
million barrels.
The cumulative shut-in gas production 9/11/04-10/21/04 is 95.632
BCF, which is equivalent to 2.149% 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 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.
