Allowables Rise Stimulate Oil Tax Outlook Amid Middle East Tension
Allowables as a share of potential climb from 33.8 to 35.9 percent by mid June then 48 percent mid July and 54 percent in August. The commission estimates August oil production will be 148000 barrels higher than July due to the allowable increase from Middle East demands. If so, oil tax income would rise, though Comptroller Jim Wilson says total oil tax revenue for the year ending Aug 31 will be little changed. Wilson revised the forecast to 142 million dollars on April 20, citing rising production allowances and potential Arab-Israeli conflict impacts on Middle East oil. Texas imposes a 4.6 percent oil production tax and a 1 3-16th cent per barrel pipeline tax.
