**Shut-in production rates do not include production lost
due to the destroyed platforms.
These evacuations are equivalent
to 5.10% of 764 manned platforms and 1.71% of 117 rigs currently
operating in the GOM.
This shut-in oil production is
equivalent to 28.50% of daily production of oil in GOM which is
approximately 1.7 million BOPD.
This shut-in gas production is
equivalent to 18.87% of the daily production of gas in the GOM which
is approximately 12.3 BCFPD.
The cumulative (9/11/04-9/30/04)
shut-in oil production is 12,894,163 bbls which is equivalent to
2.131% of the yearly production of oil in the GOM which is
approximately 605 million barrels.
The cumulative (9/11/04-9/30/04)
shut-in gas production is 57.860 BCF which is equivalent to 1.300% 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.
