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 8.30% 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
179,970 BOPD. This shut-in oil production is equivalent to
11.998 % of the daily oil production in the GOM, which is
currently approximately 1.5 million BOPD.
Today’s shut-in gas production is
935.67 MMCFPD. This shut-in gas production is equivalent to
9.357% of the daily gas production in the GOM, which is
currently approximately 10 BCFPD.
The cumulative shut-in oil
production for the period 8/26/05-6/19/06
is 166,312,453 bbls, which is equivalent to 30.377% of the
yearly production of oil in the GOM (approximately 547.5 million
barrels).
The cumulative shut-in gas
production 8/26/05-6/19/06 is 803.604 BCF, which is equivalent
to 22.017 % 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.
Beginning as part of the 2006
Hurricane Season, MMS will be providing news releases showing
oil and gas “production” statistics, rather than “shut-in”
statistics. The numbers and percentages will reflect how much
production is flowing instead of how much is shut in.
