Stat. tit. 52, § 52-570.6","heading":"Selling royalty gas in kind - Consumption and accounting","body":"for royalty gas.\n\nA. A royalty interest owner who has a right to sell royalty gas\n\nin kind may do so as described in the agreement creating such right,\n\nbut in no event upon less than sixty (60) days' prior written notice\n\nto its lessee or lessees and the operator. Solely for purposes of\n\nrevenue allocation under the Production Revenue Standards Act, the\n\ninterest of a royalty interest owner selling gas and the working\n\ninterest burdened thereby shall each be regarded as part royalty\n\ninterest and part working interest, in the same percentages that the\n\nroyalty and working interests are provided in the lease. A royalty\n\ninterest owner selling gas shall remit the royalty share of its gas\n\nsales to the operator in the same manner as any other producing\n\nowner.\n\nB. If metered, consumption of gas from a well by a royalty\n\ninterest owner or surface owner wherein there is no sale of such gas\n\nshall be deemed production by the working interest owner burdened by\n\nthe contractual right to consume gas and shall be accounted for at\n\nthe average price, weighted by volume, of gas from that well sold by\n\nsuch working interest owner during that month. In the absence of a\n\nsale by such working interest owner, the average price, weighted by\n\nvolume, of gas from that well sold by all producing owners during\n\nthat month, shall be used.\n\nC. A burdened working interest owner and the operator shall\n\nhave the right to accomplish the accounting required pursuant to\n\nthis section by offset or adjustment.\n\nD. Royalty gas taken in kind by the Commissioners of the Land\n\nOffice shall be considered consumption of gas from a well by a\n\nroyalty interest owner and shall be deemed production by the working\n\ninterest owner burdened by the contractual right of the\n\nCommissioners of the Land Office to take such gas in kind. Such gas\n\nshall be accounted for by the working interest owner so burdened at\n\nthe average price, weighted by volume, of gas from that well sold by\n\nsuch working interest owner during that month. In the absence of a\n\nsale by such working interest owner, the average price, weighted by\n\nvolume, of gas from that well sold by all producing owners during\n\nthat month shall be used. The Commissioners of the Land Office\n\nshall account to such working interest owner for such royalty gas\n\ntaken in kind at the average price, weighted by volume, of gas from\n\nthat well sold by all producing owners during that month.","path":["OK Code","Title 52"],"source_url":"https://www.oklegislature.gov/OK_Statutes/CompleteTitles/os52.pdf","current_through":"2026-08-14","vintage":"open-us-law v2026.08, retrieved 2026-09-14","retrieved_at":"2026-09-14T18:32:36Z","sha256":"37618fd96a26cde7907b83154a30193ead34245a12172eb7e140d617ba7536db","source_id":"us-ok","stale":false,"prev":"us-ok/okla.-stat.-tit.-52-52-570.5","next":"us-ok/okla.-stat.-tit.-52-52-570.7"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
