Abstract:
This final rule replaces Onshore Oil and Gas Order Number 4, Measurement of Oil (Order 4) with new regulations that will be codified at 43 CFR parts 3160 and 3170. This rule establishes minimum standards for the measurement of oil produced from Federal and Indian (except Osage Tribe) leases to ensure accurate measurement and accounting. It also updates the minimum standards for oil measurement to reflect the considerable changes in technology and industry practices that have occurred since 1989, when Order 4 was issued.
