2008 Hurricanes2008 Hurricanes
Hurricane Dolly: landfall near the Texas-Mexico border as a Category 2 hurricane .
July 23, 2008 September 1, 2008
Hurricane Gustav: landfall as a Category 2 Hurricane near Morgan City, Louisiana. The flooding through Louisiana and impacts to petroleum, natural gas, and electricity infrastructure in Louisiana and Mississippi were significant.
August 5, 2008
Tropical Storm Edouard: landfall near the Texas/Louisiana border, causing offshore production and ports to shut.
Hurricane Ike: landfall near Houston, Texas, M EDT as a strong Category 2 hurricane, resulting in devastating shutdowns of oil & gas assets, electricity outages, and the evacuation of Houston.

EIA’s Natural Gas Monitoring During EIA’s Natural Gas Monitoring During Energy Emergencies Energy Emergencies
• Primary responsibility for monitoring natural gas processing plants (Inter-Agency Emergency Task Force)
• Provide assessments for EIA and DOE information products
• Information sources include:– Monitoring pipeline EBBs– Company press releases– Surveying processing plant operators
(Form EIA-757, Schedule B)

Why Survey Natural Gas Processing Plants?Why Survey Natural Gas Processing Plants?
– Processing plants are a key element in the natural gas supply chain
– If processing plants are affected by a natural disaster or man-made event, their ability to perform can become a significant bottleneck affecting available supplies.
–There is no public source of information available on a timely basis
