PRODUCTION TRENDS Seismic acquisition, leasing, bid rejects, drilling, and discoveries—all stepped into deeper waters with time. The final piece in the puzzle, production, is no exception. Figure 59 illustrates the relative volume of production from each GOM block through time. Notice the large deepwater volumes that first appear in 1996 and 1997. More recent production continues to expand over a larger area and into deeper waters. Table 5 shows that the most prolific blocks (on a BOE basis) are currently in the deepwater GOM.

The GOM supplies approximately 28 percent of the Nation’s domestic oil and 23 percent of the Nation’s domestic gas production. A significant and growing portion of these volumes comes from the deepwater. 84
