Dominion has announced that its Gulf of Mexico and South Louisiana production has reached approximately 130 million cubic feet of natural gas equivalent per day.

Dominion facilities were not significantly damaged by the storms. Production capability of approximately 570 mmcfe per day is still shut-in primarily due to hurricane damage to downstream facilities not owned by Dominion.

Some Dominion facilities remain off line. At this time, Dominion is not able to forecast with certainty when off-line production, whether interrupted because of damage downstream or to its facilities, will resume.

Prior to Hurricane Katrina, Dominion's Gulf of Mexico and South Louisiana production was approximately 435 mmcfe per day. Dominion had forecasted production increases to approximately 700 mmcfe per day during October with the addition of four previously announced deepwater projects, plus other planned completion activity.
