Department of Energy obligations in Louisiana 1st District (LA-01)

Energy × LA-01 is a thin-file join, not a Gulf energy census

This page is a join: Department of Energy (agency 089) as awarding agency, and Louisiana 1st District (LA-01) as congressional district place of performance. SpendingVault sums tagged obligations to $1,857,881,179.22 on 21 awards. The join is awarding-agency 089 crossed with an LA-01 location field, not Louisiana’s entire energy budget and not a named Strategic Petroleum Reserve or refinery roster. Treat the pair as a catalog intersection, not a ranking of which district received more, and not a claim that 21 awards equal 21 plants, sites, or unique contractors.

Interior offshore lines, EPA cleanup, or Energy-coded awards in LA-02 sit outside this total unless they also carry agency 089 and LA-01. Mixing those books into $1,857,881,179.22 would invent a combined figure the packet never computed. Correlation between this obligation sum and refinery capacity is not causation. Barrel and named-site tables are not in the packet. Place of performance as LA-01 locates the tagged awards; it does not deposit $1,857,881,179.22 in a district treasury. New Orleans-versus-Northshore folklore is not a geography split in this packet.

21 awards behind $1.86 billion

Mean obligation is about $88,470,532.34 if $1,857,881,179.22 were divided evenly across 21 lines. That ratio is not a published site cost and not a typical SPR task order. Award count is a row count, including possible continuations and modifications. It is not a count of plants, caverns, or unique vendors. Twenty-one awards against a nearly two-billion-dollar cell is a very thin, high-mean Energy file. One restatement can move the mean quickly.

A handful of large vehicles can dominate a 21-row file without naming a site. This page will not invent contractor or recipient names. Open Louisiana 1st District for the stored district table. Do not convert 21 into a map of Louisiana 1st District energy sites. The $1,857,881,179.22 total remains an obligation rollup on tagged awards. Inspect named lines on the overlay rather than inferring a plant census.

Louisiana 1st District, not a river-parish energy rollup

Louisiana 1st District (LA-01) is one geography tag on USAspending awards, not a commuting zone and not a metro list. Awards tagged to LA-02, LA-06, or another Louisiana district are out even if the river corridor sounds related. Recipient address can differ from that district tag. The district parent in this extract is $15,981,764,617.41 across every awarding agency; $1,857,881,179.22 is the Department of Energy slice — about 11.6% of that parent by arithmetic. Subtracting is tempting; this page still does not publish the leftover agency list.

A statewide Energy figure on Louisiana federal spending mixes every district. Do not rank LA-01 against neighboring districts as a winner or loser. Other Louisiana district cells are other joins. Louisiana federal spending is the statewide book without a district filter. Adding statewide Department of Energy dollars to $1,857,881,179.22 would double count. Campaign-finance filings are a different public-record system; this join does not claim donations funded these obligations.

Agency 089 obligations are not barrels already moved

Energy awards often obligate as large contracts and assistance rows and draw as work proceeds. The $1,857,881,179.22 headline is the obligation sum, not a punch-list of barrels moved and not a Treasury outlay total. A SPR or laboratory dashboard dated to a particular year is not automatically this join unless it uses agency 089, LA-01 geography, and the obligation metric.

Department of Energy is the nationwide agency book without a LA-01 filter. This extract does not split petroleum stockpile work from science, and it does not split sites from primes. Those cuts would require award documentation beyond dollars, 21 awards, agency 089, and Louisiana 1st District. This page will not invent a share. Unique recipients remain unpublished.

What the LA-01 Energy table omits

The extract has no site names, plant names, or contractor names. Facts remain $1,857,881,179.22, 21 awards, agency 089, Department of Energy, Louisiana 1st District (LA-01), and district parent $15,981,764,617.41. Facility folklore belongs on another extract if it appears at all. Keep the obligation label. Later ingests can revise both the dollars and the 21-award count; prefer the live table when the overlay and this snapshot diverge.

Where the Energy × LA-01 pair lives

Start with Louisiana 1st District for the district rollup that contains this Department of Energy cell. Department of Energy is the nationwide agency listing. Louisiana federal spending gives Louisiana context without a LA-01 filter. All spending ties indexes other two-key joins on the same obligation metric. Twenty-one awards totaling this cell remain a thin administrative file, not an energy-site roster. Keep both Department of Energy and Louisiana 1st District (LA-01) in every citation sentence. Do not recast $1,857,881,179.22 as cash already paid or as Louisiana’s entire energy appropriation. USAspending.gov remains the source; SpendingVault republishes the join.

Questions

How much Energy spending is obligated in Louisiana 1st District?

USAspending.gov shows $1,857,881,179.22 in Department of Energy (agency 089) obligations with Louisiana 1st District (LA-01) as place of performance, across 21 awards. The sum is a commitment total, not outlays and not the district’s full $15,981,764,617.41 parent. Other agencies sit outside this join unless they also carry 089.

Do 21 awards mean 21 Energy sites in LA-01?

No. Award count is a row count of Department of Energy actions tagged to LA-01. It is not a site or vendor census. Mean obligation of about $88,470,532.34 is a quotient of $1,857,881,179.22 and 21, not a typical project cost.

Does this Energy cell include Interior offshore work in LA-01?

No. This page is awarding agency 089 only. Interior lines are other joins. $1,857,881,179.22 is about 11.6% of the Louisiana 1st District parent $15,981,764,617.41 by arithmetic. Cite USAspending.gov as the source.

Is the LA-01 Energy total already paid as outlays?

Not on this metric. Obligations are recorded commitments on awards. Outlays are payments from the Treasury. The $1,857,881,179.22 headline is the obligation rollup in SpendingVault’s extract. Invoice draws and remaining balances are not published here.
