New 2031 excise split, plugging fund ends

Starting July 1, 2031, all oil and gas excise receipts are split 92.35% to the General Revenue Fund and 7.65% to the Interstate Oil Compact Fund. Each year, the first $1,350,000 that would go to General Revenue goes instead to the Oil and Gas Division Revolving Fund. The Plugging Fund stops receiving new money after June 30, 2031.

Oil and gas excise split through 2031

Through June 30, 2031, Oklahoma splits excise taxes on oil and on natural gas. For oil: 82.634% goes to the General Revenue Fund, but the first $1,350,000 each year goes instead to the Oil and Gas Division Revolving Fund. 10.526% goes to the Corporation Commission Plugging Fund, and 6.84% goes to the Interstate Oil Compact Fund. For natural gas: 82.6045% goes to General Revenue, with the first $1,350,000 each year diverted to the Oil and Gas Division Revolving Fund. 10.5555% goes to the Plugging Fund, and 6.84% goes to the Interstate Oil Compact Fund.

Uses of Interstate Oil Compact Fund

Money in the Interstate Oil Compact Fund pays the state’s assistant representative to the Compact Commission, staff, travel, office costs, and needed contributions. The Treasurer pays only sworn, itemized claims approved by the assistant representative and the Governor. Unspent money at year end returns to the General Revenue Fund. If Oklahoma leaves the Compact, unencumbered money and future receipts go to General Revenue.
