These refund checks were obtained for fortune 100 companies all the way down to small oil and gas operators that operate less than ten wells. Take a look at some of the recent refunds we have filed and obtained for our clients. We have been successful in obtaining a gross production refund for every client that has retained our services. Our clients are continuously impressed by the amount of refunds we can obtain for them with so little of their time being required.
Based on our experience of filing over 4,000 tax rebate applications we are able to identify opportunities that most in-house personnel would miss.

Deep Well Incentive

Economically At-Risk Wells
Most people in the oil and gas industry that have been around for a while will remember back in 1997 and 1998 when oil was around $7/bbl. The Oklahoma Legislature passed the Economically-At-Risk provision to give operators the incentive to not shut-in wells. This provision was brought back into law starting in 2005 and is still available today. Qualifying wells can receive 6/7ths of the gross production tax paid during the calendar year. Learn more…..
Gas Marketing Deductions
If you have rental compression on wells or company owned compression on wells you are entitled to take a gas marketing deduction which would reduce your taxable value. Unlike the refunds listed above there is a three statute of limitations on this type of refund. Learn more…..
