Abstract
This study uses two different methods to estimate the contribution of oil and gas activity in the Louisiana coastal zone and federal outer continental shelf region to Louisiana wetland loss in the period 1955–1980. The first method uses wetland scientists' consensus estimates of total oil and gas induced wetland loss to determine the average oil and gas related wetland loss per thousand barrels of oil-gas equivalent and per well. The second method uses a time series model to determine the marginal oil and gas related wetland loss per thousand barrels of oil-gas equivalent and per well. A comparison of the results of the two methods provides a check on their reliability in an area of scientific uncertainty.
