LA 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
LA STATE OFFSHORE WATERS
EXTENT OF TIDAL INFLUENCELESS THAN 4 FEET IN ELEVATION
NEW ORLEANS

OIL AND GAS INFRASTRUCTURE
Platforms 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

PIPELINES
• 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

Other 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
HURRICANE RITA September 24, 2005
Ï
In OCS waters, Rita destroyed 69 platforms
In OCS waters, Rita destroyed 69 platforms and damaged 32 more
In OCS waters, Rita destroyed 69 platforms and damaged 32 more as well as damaging an additional 83 pipelines

Damaged Platforms and Pipelines
Inshore, 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.

Other 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
As 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
Where 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
Lessons 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
