On June 1st, the Mineral Management Service issued it's final post-Katrina/Rita report on the status of oil production and facilities on the outer continental shelf of the Gulf of Mexico - note that this does not include figures for state managed production closer to or on shore.

There are still 71 oil/natural gas platforms unusable, representing 8.67% of all such platforms in the GOM. All oil/natural gas rigs are back in operation.

On 6/1/06, there was still 227,888 bbls/day of oil shut-in in the GOM, representing 15.19% of normal daily production.

The cumulative shut-in oil production for the period 8/26/05-6/1/06 is 162,425,332 bbls, equivalent to 29.67% of the yearly production of oil in the GOM. Since the GOM outter continental shelf normally produces about 27% of annual domestic crude oil, this cumulative shut-in equates to about 8% of normal annual domestic crude oil production.

The weekly "This Week in Petroleum", also issued by the EIA, discusses the prospects for this years hurricane season. It's here. In it there's a link to the "Short Term Energy Outlook", which was also updated this week.
