from Hurricanes Katrina and Rita (remaining)* |
NEW ORLEANS - In the last month there has
been substantial improvement in the production numbers warranting
another release so a decision was made to issue a final report after
Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.
These evacuations are equivalent to 8.67% 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 227,888 BOPD. This
shut-in oil production is equivalent to 15.19 % of the daily oil
production in the GOM, which is currently approximately 1.5 million
BOPD.
Today’s shut-in gas production is 1.099 BCFPD. This
shut-in gas production is equivalent to 10.99% of the daily gas
production in the GOM, which is currently approximately 10 BCFPD.
The cumulative shut-in oil production for the period
8/26/05-6/1/06 is 162,425,332 bbls, which is equivalent to 29.67% of
the yearly production of oil in the GOM (approximately 547.5 million
barrels).
The cumulative shut-in gas production 8/26/05-6/1/06
is 784.502 BCF, which is equivalent to 21.493 % 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.
