1986 Worst Oil Year Amid Tax Credit Fallout
The Petroleum Monitoring Agency says 1984 saw $180 million in industry revenue forgone due to the scientific research tax credit, with 1985 taxes up and crude prices dropping. In early 1986 the oil sector faced weak profits, $25.3 billion in industry revenues, and 22 percent lower total revenues than 1985, as investment priorities shifted to machinery and resource properties.
