. Oil platforms still offline.

You were doing pretty good until you got to that one. You must rely on the main stream media for your news.

Actually I get my oil-related info from the energy analyst sitting in the office next to mine. He says that currently 57% of Gulf oil is still shut in - including Mars, which is the biggie. Where do you get your info, and how does it differ?

Gulf of Mexico production is still down. From the Department of Energy- Energy Informaton Administration:

"According to the Minerals Management Service (MMS), as of 11:30 September 7, Gulf of Mexico oil production was reduced by 861,000 barrels per day as a result of Hurricane Katrina, equivalent to 57.37 percent of daily Gulf of Mexico oil production (which is 1.5 million barrels per day). The MMS also reported that 4.0360 billion cubic feet per day of natural gas production was shut in, equivalent to 40.36 percent of daily Gulf of Mexico natural gas production (which is 10 billion cubic feet per day)."
