Thanks to Leanan on a good catch of this Houston Chronicle article, which states:

Much of the oil and natural gas production still shut-in after last year's hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico will stay offline because it would not be economical for companies to rebuild the production platforms, Energy Secretary Sam Bodman told Congress today.

Which reminded me, we hadn't linked to the MMS shut-in statistics in a while. They are discussed in the Chronicle article, but here's a link to the MMS stats just for old time's sake.
