Gas Processing Allowance Summary Report
Form MMS-4109
General Instructions
In accordance with 30 CFR 206.179, a payor may deduct from royalty payments the reasonable actual costs for processing
gas plant products (e.g., natural gas liquids (NGLs), sulfur, etc.) from a gas stream. All natural gas liquids are considered as
one product – NGLs, and the processing allowance rate for NGLs shall be based upon their aggregate processing cost. No
allowance will be given for non-royalty-bearing plant products unless the lessee has secured prior approval from MMS.
Gas processing costs incurred under an arm's-length contract may be claimed as the gas processing allowance.
Processing costs incurred under other than an arm's-length contract consist of the following: plant operating costs plus
depreciation plus a return on undepreciated capital investment. A gas processing allowance rate is determined by dividing
the total processing costs by the quantity processed.
Payors are required to report to MMS the actual processing costs deducted during the reporting period using
Form MMS-4109. For processing costs incurred under arm's-length conditions, payors are not required to submit Form
MMS–4109. Instead, payors are required to submit a copy of their arm’s-length processing contract to MMS within 2
months of the date MMS receives your first report that deducts the allowance on the Form MMS-2014. For processing costs
incurred under non-arm's-length or no contract situations, Page 1 of Form MMS-4109 and Schedules 1, 2, 2A and 2B must
be submitted within 3 months after the end of the 12-month period to which the allowance applies.
Form MMS-4109, Page 1, is used to report the non-arm’s-length processing allowance amount claimed for a plant product
during the reporting period.
Form MMS-4109, Schedule 1, is used to compute the non-arm’s-length processing allowance rate for a plant product. A
separate Schedule 1 must be completed for each plant product,
Form MMS-4109, Schedule 2, is used to summarize plant product costs based upon the lessee's portion of actual plant
operating, maintenance, and overhead costs for non-arm's-length or no contract situations.
Form MMS-4109, Schedule 2A, summarizes plant operating, maintenance, and overhead costs for a plant product for nonarm’s-length or no contract situations.
Form MMS-4109, Supplemental Schedule 2A, is used to detail operating, maintenance, and overhead costs that could not
be shown on Schedule 2A because of limited space.
Form MMS-4109, Schedule 2B, summarizes plant depreciation and undepreciated capital investment for a plant product for
non-arm's-length or no contract situations.

ALLOWABLE AND NONALLOWABLE OPERATING, MAINTENANCE, AND CAPITAL COSTS
Allowable Capital Costs
Allowable capital costs are generally those expenditures for fixed assets (including delivery and installation
costs) that are an integral part of the facility used in the processinq/extraction of gas products. most
capital items are generally located within the confines of the plant, beginning at the inlet of the plant and
ending at the tailgate of the plant. Transportation-facilities owned by the lessee and used to move raw
make from an extraction plant to a fractionation plant shall be considered as an allowable plant
expenditure.
Capital costs will vary considerably between plants, since no two systems are exactly alike even though
they possess superficial similarities. The items listed below are examples of investment items that will
normally be found in different types of plants and should generally be considered as allowable capital
costs:
Plant and office buildings, warehouses, shops, laboratory, sidewalks, fences, plant roads and
rights-of-way for plant roads, fresh water wells and supply systems, heat and steam, power, fuel
sewage and general plant facilities, all related controls, meters P(including plant inlet and residue
sales meters). Also, pipe valves and fittings, and equipment items whose primary function is the
recovery of plant products including natural gas liquids such as absorbers, heat exchangers,
coolers, chillers, fractionating columns, liquid sweetening facilities, and compression facilities for
refrigeration or recompression of gas required during processing.
Nonallowable Capital Costs
Nondepreciable property, such as land and pipeline rights-of-way, or the facilities utilized in bringing the
raw gas from the field to the plant, and facilities utilized for delivering, storing, or otherwise disposing of the
residue gas and liquids after extraction, will generally not be considered plant investments. Capital costs
associated with placing lease production in marketable condition (e.g. compression, dehydration, and onlease gathering), schools, hospitals, roads, sewer plants and other capital improvements or equipment not
an integral part of the processing facilities are not considered as allowable capital costs. The cost
associated with the preparation of an environmental impact statement is not allowable. However, capital
costs for environmental equipment that are an integral part of the gas processing facility are allowable.

Form MMS-4109, Schedule 2
Instructions
Allowable Operation and Maintenance Costs
Operation and maintenance costs are those nondepreciable expenditures which include the costs of
operating and maintaining the facilities and shall be limited to costs directly related to processing gas
products or extracting natural gas liquid hydrocarbons.
Operation and maintenance expenditures may include the following items:
1.

Salaries and wages paid to employees and supervisors while engaged in operating and maintaining
the plant. Such wages must be directly connected to the processing or extraction phase of the
plant.

2.

Electrical or other energy expenditures.

3.

Chemicals and lubricants used for the purpose of extraction, protection, or cleaning of plant
facilities.

4.

Repairs, contract labor, materials, and supplies directly connected to the processing or extraction
process of the plant.

5.

Insurance, ad valorem property taxes, and payroll taxes (Federal and State income taxes are not
allowable deductions).

6.

Rental or leasing expenditures of the plant site.

7,

General and administrative overhead costs (telephone service, office supplies, salary apportionment,
etc.), Overhead costs shall be limited to those costs which are directly allocable or attributable to
the operation and maintenance of the plant.

Operation and maintenance expenditures will be limited to those items that, in the judgment of MMS, are
an integral part of the extraction or fractionation process.
Nonallowable Operating Costs
1.

Federal and State income taxes, production taxes or fees such as State severance taxes, and
royalty payments.

2.

Any costs associated with nonallowable capital improvement or equipment.

3.

Any costs associated with placing the gas in marketable condition which the lessee is obligated to
perform at no cost to the lessor (e.g. gathering, dehydration, compression, or storage costs
incurred on the lease or a unit).

Capital costs and operations and maintenance expenditures may be verified by requesting copies of
invoices.
