§ 201.104. RETURNED CYCLE GAS.
Official statutory text
(a) If gas is processed for its liquid hydrocarbon content and the residue gas is returned to a gas-producing formation by cycling methods, as distinguished from repressuring or pressure maintenance methods, the taxable value of the gas is three-fifths the value of all liquid hydrocarbons extracted, separated, and saved from the gas.
(b) The value of the liquid hydrocarbons for the purpose of this section is the highest posted price of crude oil in the field where the gas is produced. If no oil is produced in that field, the value is the highest posted price for crude oil in the nearest oil field.
(c) The value of the liquid hydrocarbons is determined when they are extracted and separated from gas and before they are absorbed, refined, or processed. The quantity of the liquid hydrocarbons is the yield from the gas at the processing plant.
(d) The valuation method prescribed by this section controls over the valuation methods described in Sections 201.102 and 201.103 of this code only in circumstances in which Subsection (a) of this section applies.
