**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
9/11/04-12/09/04 is 34,284,798 bbls, which is equivalent to 5.667% of
the yearly production of oil in the GOM which is approximately 605
million barrels.
The cumulative shut-in gas production
9/11/04-12/09/04 is 135.911 BCF, which is equivalent to 3.054% 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.
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.
