		LOOP handles 13 percent of the nation's foreign oil, about 1.2 million barrels a day, and connects by pipeline to 35 percent of the U.S. refining capability.

	Louisiana Offshore Oil and Gas Activity
		It has produced 88.8 percent of the crude oil and condensate and 83.2 percent of the natural gas extracted from all federal OCS territories from the beginning of oil and gas exploration and development in the U.S. through the end of 1996.
		The main reasons are the discovery of oil and gas in deepwater fields of the central Gulf of Mexico, deepwater royalty tax relief, and new and improved technology used to extract oil from the deepwater Gulf.
		Port Fourchon is the geographic and economic center of offshore drilling efforts along the Louisiana Gulf Coast.

		A widely believed myth is that the oil itself is flammable, however it is actually the gas that evaporates from the oil that is flammable.
		The reactions that produce oil and natural gas are often modeled as first order breakdown reactions, where kerogen breaks down to oil and natural gas by a large set of parallel reactions, and oil eventually breaks down to natural gas by another set of reactions.
		The oil is landed at Sullom Voe terminal in the Shetlands.

		The port of Louisiana is one of its most important inlet for oil imports, and the gulf itself is a major oil producer.

		The loss in production, and from the oil imported through the LOOP is more than 2 mbd, and while the LOOP (Louisiana Offshore Oil Port) is operational, the situation down near where Katrina first came ashore is not that good.
		And the power is also needed to restart the refineries and the oil pumping stations that must be brought up to speed to move the oil that will be needed for this winter.
		I suppose this is done for two reasons; to generally increase the supply of oil and reduce the price and to get oil that may not processable at local refineries to a more distant location that may need it.
