Petroleum
As Hurricane Rita approached, 16 refineries along the Gulf Coast
shut down as a precautionary measure and to allow employees
to evacuate. As of today, 8 remain completely shutdown and 8
have restarted. In sum, there are 4 refineries still shut down
in the New Orleans area following Hurricane Katrina, 7 shut
down in the Port Arthur and Lake Charles areas, and 1 shut down
or attempting to restart in the Houston/Texas City/Galveston
refining area, amounting to a total of over 3.0 million barrels
per day of refining capacity that is currently offline. This
accounts for over 1.3 million barrels per day of gasoline, over
700,000 barrels per day of distillate fuel, and nearly 400,000
barrels per day of jet fuel that is not being produced as long
as these refineries remain shutdown. Please consult the Office
of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability's Situation
Report for specific information on the refineries.
Natural Gas
In an attempt to assess the effects of Hurricanes Katrina and
Rita on oil and gas production, the Louisiana
Office of Conservation is in the process of contacting 396
operators with producing wells in a thirty-eight (38) parish
region for information regarding the status of their production
operations. On October 3, the Office said it has received reports
indicating 182.7 million cubic feet per day (MMcf/d) of onshore
and offshore (in State waters only) natural gas production has
been restored. The Office has not received information on approximately
59 percent of the wells in the region.
