Oil & Gas Disposition Codes
Oil and Casinghead Gas
Crude Oil
| Code | Description |
|---|---|
| 0 | Pipeline |
| 1 | Truck |
| 2 | Tank car or barge |
| 3 | Net Oil from tank cleaning -- as calculated on the basis of a shakeout test. Show BS&W as oil disposition code 6. |
| 4 | Circulating oil -- original movement off lease. File a notification letter with the appropriate district office and Austin. |
| 5 | Lost or stolen -- includes loss from fires, leaks, spills, and breaks, as well as thefts. File a Form H-8 if more than 5 barrels. |
| 6 | Sedimentation -- BS&W from tank cleaning. Show net oil as oil disposition code 3. |
| 7 | Other -- Stock adjustment, water bleed-off, lease use, road oil, production lost to formation, etc. Give a detailed explanation below the volume in Column 6. |
| 8 | Skim liquid hydrocarbons -- as charged back on Form P-18 by a saltwater disposal system. |
| 9 | Scrubber oil -- as charged back on Form R-3 by a gas processing plant. |
Casinghead Gas
| Code | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Lease or field fuel use -- gas you use or give to others for field operations including lease drilling fuel, etc. |
| 2 | Transmission line -- gas delivered to a transmission line that will not be processed further before ultimate use, including gas used for industrial purposes, irrigation or refinery fuel, etc. |
| 3 | Processing plant -- total gas delivered to a gas processing plant (any plant or facility reported on Form R-3). Do not report the "plant breakdown" of this gas on the P-1. |
| 4 | Vented or flared |
| 5 | Gas Lift -- gas you use, give, or sell to others directly for gas lift. Do not include gas delivered to pressure maintenance or processing plants even though it is ultimately used for gas lift. |
| 6 | Repressure or pressure maintenane -- gas delivered to a system or plant that does not extract liquid hydrocarbons. That system or plant will report on Form R-7. (A pressure maintenance plant or system that does extract liquid hydrocarbons should file Form R-3. If gas is delivered to a plant or system that recovers liquid hydrocarbons, use casinghead gas disposition code 3 even though the gas may ultimately be injuected for pressure maintenance. |
| 7 | Carbon black -- gas delivered to a carbon black plant. |
| 8 | Underground storage -- gas injected directly into a storage reservoir. |
Gas Well Gas and Condensate
Gas Well Gas
| Code | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Lease or field fuel use -- gas you use or give to others for field operations including lease drilling fuel, compressor fuel, etc. |
| 2 | Transmission line -- gas delivered to a transmission line that will not be processed further before ultimate use, including gas used for industrial purposes, irrigation or refinery fuel, etc. |
| 3 | Processing plant -- total gas delivered to a gas processing plant (any plant or facility reported on Form R-3). Do not report the "plant breakdown" of this gas on the P-2. |
| 4 | Vented or flared - give an explanation of why the gas was vented or flared. |
| 5 | Gas Lift -- gas you use, give, or sell to others directly for gas lift. Do not include gas delivered to pressure maintenance or processing plants even though it is ultimately used for gas lift. |
| 6 | Repressure or pressure maintenance -- gas delivered to a system or plant that does not extract liquid hydrocarbons. That system or plant will report on Form R-7. (A pressure maintenance plant or system that does extract liquid hydrocarbons should file Form R-3. If gas is delivered to a plant or system that recovers liquid hydrocarbons, use casinghead gas disposition code 3 even though the gas may ultimately be injected for pressure maintenance. |
| 7 | Carbon black -- gas delivered to a carbon black plant. |
| 8 | Underground storage -- gas injected directly into a storage reservoir. |
| 9 | Well separation extraction loss -- a positive number reflecting shrinkage of gas volume when condensate is extracted from gas well gas by lease separation methods. Do not report any well separation extraction loss for liquid hydrocarbons recovered at a facility reporting on Form R-3 as a gas processing plant. |
Condensate
| Code | Description |
|---|---|
| 0 | Pipeline |
| 1 | Truck |
| 2 | Tank car or barge |
| 3 | Net Condensate from tank cleaning -- as calculated on the basis of a shakeout test. Show BS&W as condensate disposition code 6. |
| 4 | Circulating oil -- original movement off lease. File a notification letter with the appropriate district office and Austin. |
| 5 | Lost or stolen -- includes loss from fires, leaks, spills, and breaks, as well as thefts. File a Form H-8 if more than 5 barrels. |
| 6 | Sedimentation -- BS&W from tank cleaning. Show net condensate as condensate disposition code 3. |
| 7 | Other -- Stock adjustment, water bleed-off, lease use, road oil, production lost to formation, etc. Give a detailed explanation. |
| 8 | Skim liquid hydrocarbons -- as charged back on Form P-18 by a saltwater disposal system. |
