Oil tax revisions eyed to curb energy independence
Hobby warned changes to intangible drilling cost deductions and a flat rate oil depletion could wipe out over 30 percent of exploration capital and raise U S reliance on foreign crude. He backs a federal oil import fee and warns against OPEC control. Durand calls the bill a rape of the oil and gas industry, arguing it ends key deductions for injectants and taxes partnerships with more than 35 limited partners as corporations, risking less funding for independents.
