Bill
AI Summary
-
Establishes a minimum production tax of 10 percent of gross value at the point of production for oil and gas produced by producers with average daily production exceeding 50,000 BTU equivalent barrels.
-
Creates three tiered tax rate structures based on oil price and producer status: producers with 2008-2011 production history face a base rate of 0.27 percent on production below target volumes; excess production above target volumes taxed at 0.14 percent; new producers face 0.05 percent on production from leases not in commercial production before January 1, 2008, with all rates tied to price thresholds above specified base amounts ($60, $75, or $90 per barrel).
-
Establishes a target volume formula using 2008 and 2011 production data with a decline percentage to determine which tax tier applies, preventing producers from increasing target volumes through acquisitions if the acquired producer had no 2008-2011 production.
-
Requires annual adjustment of base amounts beginning March 1, 2014, based on the United States Consumer Price Index increase, with adjustments applied retroactively to January 1 of each year.
-
Directs the Department of Revenue to develop and maintain a public petroleum information management system by January 1, 2014, to collect and distribute oil and gas exploration, development, and production data; requires the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission, Department of Natural Resources, and Department of Labor and Workforce Development to provide relevant information to support the system.
