The Importance of Energy Production and Infrastructure in Plaquemines Parish Center for Energy Studies The Importance of Energy Production and Infrastructure in Plaquemines Parish Prepared for the Office of the Parish President and Project Rebuild Plaquemines with Assistance from the Plaquemines Association of Business & Industry June 14, 2006 David E. Dismukes, Seth Cureington & Elizabeth Oleks Center for Energy Studies Center for Energy Studies Louisiana State University 1 © LSU Center for Energy Studies Acknowledgements Center for Energy Studies The Center for Energy Studies would like to thank Parish President Benny Rousselle and Leonard Mistich, Executive Director of the Plaquemines Association of Business and Industry, for their support and input on this project. Funding support for this study was provided by Project Rebuild Plaquemines. CES appreciates the support of the Louisiana Department of Natural Resources, particularly Secretary Scott Angelle, for support and assistance during the course of this research. DNR provided a host of materials from a similar study it was conducting prior to the CES initiative. Further, DNR was instrumental in providing the royalty revenue information used in this report. CES would also like to thank the Louisiana Department of Revenue for their assistance in providing important severance tax information for this project. The helpful comments of many regional business and industries in Plaquemines Parish are also appreciated. 2 © LSU Center for Energy Studies Report Outline Center for Energy Studies • Overview of Plaquemines Energy Production and Infrastructure • Overview of the Plaquemines Energy Economy • Katrina Impacts on Plaquemines Energy Economy • Ongoing Energy Production and Infrastructure Importance • Conclusions 3 © LSU Center for Energy Studies Executive Summary: Importance of Plaquemines Energy Center for Energy Studies Production and Infrastructure • Plaquemines energy economy is unique since it includes most ALL types of energy production, support and infrastructure. (Production, support, storage, transportation, refining, petrochemical) • Plaquemines is an energy “golden goose” for the state. It contributes the largest share of state production and mineral revenues – over $2.1 billion in total mineral revenues over the past decade. • There are close to 11,000 active producing oil and gas wells in the Parish. • Energy is estimated to be a $1.2 billion industry in Plaquemines and accounts for over 8,000 direct, indirect, and induced employment opportunities in the parish. • Failure to support production, storage, transportation, and processing infrastructure in the area can have important impacts on national energy markets during a critical period of industry constraints. • The region is also an important part of the Louisiana economy. Facilitating speedy recovery in the parish is an important part of Louisiana’s overall recovery. This recovery will pay dividends over time to the state and the nation in terms of ongoing and future energy production, processing, and deliverability. 4 © LSU Center for Energy Studies Center for Energy Studies Overview of Plaquemines Energy Production and Infrastructure 5 © LSU Center for Energy Studies Oil and Gas Production Facilities State and State Waters Center for Energy Studies There are a large number of active state-jurisdictional oil and gas wells onshore and offshore in Plaquemines 6 © LSU Center for Energy Studies Plaquemines Oil Production (Onshore and Offshore) Center for Energy Studies Oil production from the parish has been declining, but has remained stable and even increased as a share of total state production over the past several years (prior to Katrina).

    Media History Monographs 16:4 (2013-2014) ISSN 1940-8862 Hurricane Katrina: Local Radio And Community Responsibility Reginald F. Moody, PhD University of South Alabama The following paper conducts a single case analysis of how local radio in New Orleans, Louisiana, during one of the most devastating hurricanes in American history, advanced itself as one of the most aggressive, trusted and valuable members of the media community. Results of this study suggest that local radio’s aggressive efforts during Hurricane Katrina were not a quest for a public relations victory or profit, but more about the medium’s ethical and moral responsibility to community during times of crises. ©2014, Reginald F. Moody Media History Monographs 16:4 Moody Hurricane Katrina: Local Radio and Community Responsibility Generations of New Orleanians worked for 300 years to raise a great city in the often in-hospitable terrain along the banks of the Mississippi River.

  • Interpretation and Public Approval at the George W. Bush Presidential Library
    ABSTRACT Past vs President: Interpretation and Public Approval at the George W. Bush Presidential Library Emily L. MacDonald, M.A. Mentor: Kimberly McCray, Ph.D. Presidential libraries are institutions not wholly public nor completely private. Their distinct structure has inspired a body of work which paints these centers as presidential temples, sites of self-commemoration, memory, and biased history. Biased interpretations can have many consequences especially in regard to the assumed trustworthiness of museums in America. Consequently, this thesis explores this idea of commemoration via the lens of museum studies. Using the George W. Bush library in Dallas, Texas as a case study, this research examines interpretation of events correlated to particularly low points of public approval for the former president within the museum galleries to determine if this bias is present in the most recent presidential library to join NARA.
