SECTION 165:10-1-47. Gas volume reports to Conservation Division

(a)   On or before the last day of the succeeding month, the person responsible for operating the required meter under 165:10-17-5 for each well classified as an unallocated gas well for allowable purposes shall report to the Conservation Division on Form 1004 the amount of gas in MCF which passed through the meter on a monthly basis.

(b)   If a well classified as a gas well for allowable purposes is subject to special pool rules other than the Guymon-Hugoton or South Guymon Fields, the Conservation Division shall mail Form 1005 (Monthly Allocated Schedule) to the operator of record for each such well(s) on or before the 15th day of each month. The operator of record shall, in turn, complete said form by listing the gas volume sold on a monthly basis in MCF by well and return a copy to the Conservation Division on or before the last day of the month succeeding the sales.

(c)   If a well classified as a gas well for allowable purposes is subject to the special pool rules for the Guymon-Hugoton or South Guymon Fields, the Conservation Division shall mail Form 1005 (Monthly Allocated Schedule) to the operator of record for each such well(s) on or before the tenth day of each month. The operator of record shall, in turn, complete said form by listing the gas volume sold, including gas bought by the landowner, on a monthly basis in MCF by well and return a copy to the Conservation Division on or before the 15th day of the month succeeding the sales.

(d)   If there is a split connection at the well site, then the operator of record measuring gas volumes shall be responsible for reporting the total volume sold for each well.

(e)   If a well classified as a gas well for allowable purposes is subject to special pool rules (including the Guymon-Hugoton Field), the Conservation Division shall mail Form 1040 to each operator on or before the tenth day of the second succeeding month following the custody transfer indicating the reported volume of gas taken from each well.

(f)   If a well classified as a gas well for allowable purposes is subject to multiple gas purchase contracts or interest owners taking their gas in kind, the producing owner shall report and account to the well operator all volumes sold and the identity of all purchasers on or before the last day of the following month after sale of such gas. The operator(s) of the required meter(s) under 165:10-17-5 shall report and account to the well operator all volumes of gas measured by such meter(s) on or before the last day of the following month after measurement. Failure to comply with this subsection will result in such gas production being ordered shut-in.

(g)   Failure of an operator to timely file sales volumes on Form 1005 shall result in a zero allowable being assigned to the operator's wells for the month in which the sales volumes would have been used in calculating the field allowable. Allocation factors for a pool shall not be recalculated as a result of the filing of a late Form 1005.
