Based on information provided by the U.S. Department Energy Friday morning, 19 of the 38 natural gas processing plants from Texas to Alabama that were impacted by the recent hurricanes were operational. Of these facilities, 6 plants were running at a reduced level while 13 were operating normally. In total, these 19 plants offer 7.2 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) of processing capacity.

The remaining 19 plants were not online as of Friday morning. Nine of these facilities -- located primarily in western Louisiana and eastern Texas and representing 5.2 Bcf/d of capacity -- were shut down. Ten plants, spanning the storm-impacted area from South Alabama to South Texas and designed to process more than 5 Bcf/d of natural gas, were capable of restarting. They had not yet restarted because electricity had not been restored or upstream gas flow had not yet commenced service.

For a detailed list of the affected gas processing plants, review the list below. This information was current as of 7 a.m. Central time on Friday.
