*These statistics reflect evacuations and shut-in production
from Hurricanes Katrina and Rita (remaining)*
Given the relatively small variations in the
shut-in statistics and the fast approaching 2006 hurricane season
this will be the final report for Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. In
the last few days there has been minimal improvement in the
production numbers and this appears to be a trend that will
continue with incremental movement over the next several months.
These evacuations are equivalent to 9.65% of
819 manned platforms and 0.00% of 134 rigs currently operating in
the Gulf of Mexico (GOM).
Today’s shut-in oil production is 324,445
BOPD. This shut-in oil production is equivalent to 21.63 % of the
daily oil production in the GOM, which is currently approximately
1.5 million BOPD.
Today’s shut-in gas production is 1.295
BCFPD. This shut-in gas production is equivalent to 12.95% of the
daily gas production in the GOM, which is currently approximately
10 BCFPD.
The cumulative shut-in oil production for
the period 8/26/05-5/3/06 is 153,527,593 bbls, which is equivalent
to 28.04% of the yearly production of oil in the GOM
(approximately 547.5 million barrels).
The cumulative shut-in gas production
8/26/05-5/3/06 is 748.900 BCF, which is equivalent to 20.518 % 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. |
