The number I have heard is that deepwater drilling accounts for 40% of all production in the Gulf
Sorry, its more like 80%. I didn't believe it either until I saw it.

ETA "In 2007, United States refineries produced over 90 percent of the gasoline used in the United States. Less than 40 percent of the crude oil used by U.S. refineries was produced in the United States."

We used to consume about 20 million barrels per day...so if the GOM produces about 1.7 then it's about 10% of total consumption. Don't know the amt of land-based production
