Title: HURRICANE IMPACTS TO U.S. ENERGY PRODUCTION AND TRANSPORTATION IN LA
1HURRICANE IMPACTS TO U.S. ENERGY PRODUCTION AND
TRANSPORTATION IN LA
Karl Morgan March 2006
2LA Oil and Gas Statistics
- Coastal and offshore LA produce 27 of US oil and
gas - La -190,000 bpd and OCS -1,500,000 bpd oil
- La -1.2 mcf and OCS -3.65 tcf natural gas)
- 40 of US oil and gas move through LA coastal
pipelines - Home of La Offshore Oil Port (LOOP) which
transports 10 of US imported oil - Existing LNG facility in Lake Charles with
several more planned near and off shore

9Platforms and Wells
- In OCS waters there are over 2800 platforms, of
which over 800 are manned - In State offshore waters there are over 2700
platforms. Many more in inshore bays and lakes - In coastal LA there are over 12,000 producing
wells not including OCS

13PIPELINES
- In OCS waters there are almost 14,000 pipeline
segments and total of 37,000 miles of pipeline - In Coastal Louisiana there are almost 23,000
pipelines and total of over 26,500 miles of
pipeline - Total of more than 63,500 miles of pipeline

27Other effects of Katrina in OCS Waters
- Evacuated 482 of 819 manned platforms
- Shut-in 90 of GOM oil production
- Shut-in 78 of GOM gas production
- Destroyed 4 drilling rigs, damaged 9 other
drilling rigs
28HURRICANE RITA September 24, 2005
29In OCS waters, Rita destroyed 69 platforms
30In OCS waters, Rita destroyed 69 platforms and
damaged 32 more
31In OCS waters, Rita destroyed 69 platforms and
damaged 32 more as well as damaging an additional
83 pipelines

36Inshore, the two hurricanes shut in 14 major gas
plants and 8 refineries, causing major damage to
3 refineries. It shut in over 1400 producing
wells and numerous pipelines and smaller tank
batteries and production facilities.

38Other effects of Rita in OCS Waters
- 100 of OCS oil production was shut-in
- 79 of OCS gas production was shut-in
- 683 platforms were evacuated
- Destroyed 1 drilling rig and damaged 10 others
39As of December 29, 2005
- OCS Production not yet restored
- 27 of Oil Production
- 19 of Gas Production
- In state Production not yet restored
- 29 of Oil production
- 16 of the Gas production
40Where are we today
- OCS Production not yet restored
- 24 of Oil production
- 15 of Gas production
- 42 pipelines larger than 10 in diameter still
out of service
41Lessons and Messages
- The OCS production is a major supplier of US
energy and is dependant on inshore facilities - The coastal wetlands must be restored to protect
this infrastructure
