These evacuations are equivalent
to 8.91% of 819 manned platforms and 10.22% of 137 rigs currently
operating in the GOM.
Today’s shut-in oil production
is 87,680 BOPD. This shut-in oil production is equivalent to 5.85% of
the daily oil production in the GOM, which is currently approximately
1.5 million BOPD. This is an improvement in the return of production
from the peak shut-in oil production of 114,947 BOPD on July 19, 2005.
Today’s shut-in gas production
is 0.616 BCFPD. This shut-in oil production is equivalent to 6.16% of
the daily gas production in the GOM, which is currently approximately
10 BCFPD. This is an improvement in the return of production from the
peak shut-in gas production of 0.701 BCFPD on July 19, 2005.
The cumulative shut-in oil
production for the period 7/18/05-7/20/05 is 215,478 bbls, which is
equivalent to 0.039% of the yearly production of oil in the GOM which
is approximately 547.5 million barrels.
The cumulative shut-in gas
production 7/18/05-7/20/05 is 1.376 BCF, which is equivalent to 0.038%
of the yearly production of gas in the GOM which is 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. 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.
MMS, part of the U.S. Department
of the Interior, oversees 1.76 billion acres of the Outer Continental
Shelf, managing offshore energy and minerals while protecting the
human, marine, and coastal environments through advanced science and
technology research. 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, with Fiscal Year 2004
disbursements of approximately $8 billion and more than $143 billion
since 1982. The Land and Water Conservation Fund, which pays for
cooperative conservation, grants to states, and Federal land
acquisition, gets nearly $1 billion a year.
