**Shut-in production rates do not include
production lost due to the destroyed platforms.
These evacuations are equivalent to 1.18% of
764 manned platforms and 0.85% of 117 rigs currently operating in the
GOM.
This shut-in oil production is equivalent to
27.95% of daily production of oil in GOM which is approximately 1.7
million BOPD.
This shut-in gas production is equivalent to
14.43% of the daily production of gas in the GOM which is
approximately 12.3 BCFPD.
The cumulative (9/11/04-10/7/04) shut-in oil production is 16,560,590
bbls which is equivalent to 2.737% of the yearly production of oil in
the GOM which is approximately 605 million barrels.
The cumulative (9/11/04-10/7/04) shut-in gas
production is 72.279 BCF which is equivalent to 1.624% of the yearly
production of gas in the GOM which is approximately 4.45 TCF.
These cumulative numbers reflect updated
production numbers from all previous reports. In previous reports,
there have been numerous questions regarding the increase of shut-in
production on a day-to-day basis. However, the reports only represent
those received by 11:30 a.m. CDT. If a company does not report by
11:30 a.m. it is not included in the daily special information
release, but it is included in the cumulative shut-in production.
The Minerals Management Service is the federal
agency in the U.S. Department of the Interior that manages the
nation’s oil, natural gas, and other mineral resources on the Outer
Continental Shelf in Federal offshore waters. The agency also
collects, accounts for, and disburses mineral revenues from Federal
and American Indian lands. MMS disbursed more than $8 billion
in FY 2003 and more than $135 billion since the agency was created in
1982. Nearly $1 billion from those revenues go into the Land and
Water Conservation Fund annually for the acquisition and development
of state and Federal park and recreation lands.
