consumed in the U.S. each day.

is approximately 12.3 BCFPD. The 1,544.08 MMCF per day that is
currently shut-in is approximately 2.57% of the 60.184 BCF consumed in
the U.S. each day.
The cumulative shut-in oil
production for the period 9/11/04-10/19/04 is 22,136,598 bbls, which

which is approximately 605 million barrels.
The cumulative shut-in gas
production 9/11/04-10/19/04 is 92.544 BCF, which is equivalent to
2.080% 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. The daily
reports only represent input 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. This may result in an apparent increase in the cumulative
report amount.
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.
