Abstract:
Respondents provide MMS with information that lets MMS decide whether the granting of a royalty relief request will result in the ultimate production of resources that would not be produced without relief. The application must contain sufficient financial, economic, reservoir, geologic and geophysical, production and engineering information to determine whether the decision to grant relief will result in ultimate increase in resource recovery, augment receipts to the Federal Treasury, and provide for reasonable returns on project investments.
