*These statistics reflect evacuations and shut-in production
from Hurricanes Katrina and Rita (remaining)* |
These evacuations are equivalent
to 16.12% of 819 manned platforms and 0.75% of 134 rigs currently
operating in the Gulf of Mexico (GOM).
Today’s shut-in oil production
is 547,223 BOPD. This shut-in oil production is equivalent to
36.48% of the daily oil production in the GOM, which is currently
approximately 1.5 million BOPD.
Today’s shut-in gas production
is 2.965 BCFPD. This shut-in gas production is equivalent to 29.65%
of the daily gas production in the GOM, which is currently
approximately 10 BCFPD.
The cumulative shut-in oil
production for the period 8/26/05-11/30/05 is 95,878,528 bbls, which
is equivalent to 17.512% of the yearly production of oil in the GOM
(approximately 547.5 million barrels).
The cumulative shut-in gas
production 8/26/05-11/30/05 is 495.336 BCF, which is equivalent to
13.571 % 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 (OCS) 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.
