Moratorium in the Gulf of Mexico -- Not a Bakken Story

Mainstream media confirms: the moratorium continues.
The slowdown also has long-term implications for U.S. oil production. The Energy Information Administration, the research arm of the Department of Energy, last month predicted that domestic offshore oil production will fall 13% this year from 2010 due to the moratorium and the slow return to drilling; a year ago, the agency predicted offshore production would rise 6% in 2011. The difference: a loss of about 220,000 barrels of oil a day
.
North Dakota produces about 340,000 bbls/day.

Meanwhile, "we" head for $100 oil.
