NEW YORK (Dow Jones)--The U.S. Minerals Management Service reported Tuesday
that 39.2% of daily oil production and 22.7% of daily natural gas production remain shut-in in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico five and a half days after Hurricane Ivan made landfall.

This is only a small improvement from Monday's reported oil and gas shut-ins covering 41.6% of oil and 23.5% of gas production, respectively. The much slower-than-expected pace of recovery has worried traders and analysts who had been confident that the situation would be mostly back to normal by the end of this past weekend. END
