*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 547,074 BOPD. This shut-in oil
production is equivalent to 36.47% of the daily oil production in the
GOM, which is currently approximately 1.5 million BOPD.
Today’s shut-in gas production is 2.964 BCFPD. This shut-in gas
production is equivalent to 29.64% of the daily gas production in the
GOM, which is currently approximately 10 BCFPD.
The cumulative shut-in oil production for the period
8/26/05-12/01/05 is 96,425,602 bbls, which is equivalent to 17.612% of
the yearly production of oil in the GOM (approximately 547.5 million
barrels).
The cumulative shut-in gas production 8/26/05-12/01/05 is 498.300
BCF, which is equivalent to 13.652 % 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.
