Monthly Crude Oil, Lease Condensate, and Natural Gas Production Report
Form EIA-914
CONFIDENTIALITY OF INFORMATION
The information you provide on Form EIA-914 will be used for statistical purposes only and is confidential by law. In accordance with the
Confidential Information Protection and Statistical Efficiency Act of 2002 and other applicable Federal laws, your responses will not be disclosed in
identifiable form without your consent. Per the Federal Cybersecurity Enhancement Act of 2015, Federal information systems are protected from
malicious activities through cybersecurity screening of transmitted data. Every EIA employee, as well as every agent, is subject to a jail term, a
fine, or both if he or she makes public ANY identifiable information you reported.

REQUIRED RESPONDENTS
This report is mandatory under the Federal Energy Administration Act of 1974 (Public Law 93-275). Failure to comply may result in criminal fines,
civil penalties, and other sanctions as provided by law. Title 18 USC 1001 makes it a criminal offense for any person knowingly and willingly
to make to any Agency or Department of the United States any false, fictitious, or fraudulent statements as to any matter within its
jurisdiction.
Form EIA-914 must be completed by selected operators of crude oil and natural gas wells in the United States that produce crude oil and natural
gas, including federal and state offshore well operators. The operator is the person, company, or entity recognized by state or federal regulatory
agencies as the operator. The operator should report 100% of the production for wells that they operate.

PURPOSE
The U.S. Energy Information Administration’s (EIA) Form EIA-914, Monthly Crude Oil, Lease Condensate, and Natural Gas Production Report,
collects information on crude oil and natural gas production by operators in the United States. The data collected are used to estimate production
of crude oil and natural gas in the United States. A summary of the data will appear in the following EIA publications: Natural Gas Monthly, Natural
Gas Annual, Petroleum Supply Annual, Petroleum Supply Monthly, Monthly Energy Review, Annual Energy Review, Annual Energy Outlook, and
the EIA website.

DUE DATE
The monthly reporting period is the calendar month. The data must be submitted on a monthly basis within 40 days after the reporting period. For
example, data reported for April 2015 must be submitted no later than June 9, 2015. If the 40th day falls on a weekend or national holiday, the
data must be submitted by the next business day.
EIA recognizes that some operators may not have the information readily available for each state. If your company does not maintain this
information, estimates of the volumes may be provided. The estimating procedure and data supporting the estimates should result in a reasonably
accurate estimate which may be subject to EIA review.

RESUBMISSIONS
Submit the entire revised EIA-914 form if one of the following conditions apply:
• If the reported gross withdrawals (production) or lease production (sales) is revised by more than +/- 150 million cubic feet (mmcf), in either or
both of the previous two months, for any state or area.
• If the reported crude oil and lease condensate is revised by more than +/- 1,000 barrels (bbls), in either or both of the previous two months,
for any state or area.
EIA reserves the right to request resubmissions as part of the data quality review process.

Report:
• 100% of the production for wells that you or your company operates. This includes natural gas production associated with both oil wells and
gas wells operated by the company within a state. This is also called the "Gross Operated" or "8/8ths Basis" production.
• All production of natural gas in million cubic feet (mmcf) rounded to the nearest million (no decimals).
• Natural gas volumes at a pressure of 14.73 psia and 60 degrees Fahrenheit. If your pressure base is different from 14.73 psia, convert your
volumes to 14.73 psia. To do this, calculate a pressure adjustment factor for each state or federal offshore area. This adjustment factor is the
value of your pressure base at 60-degress Fahrenheit divided by 14.73. Multiply all your volumes by this factor and report the resulting values.
For example, if your pressure base is 15.025 psia at 60-degrees Fahrenheit, your factor will be 15.025/14.73=1.02. Call the EIA-914 helpline if
you need assistance at 1-800-879-1470.
• Zero (0) if operated properties in any area produce no natural gas. If there are no operated properties in an area, leave the cell blank for that
area.
• For the reporting period only.
• Reasonable estimates if necessary to meet the EIA-914 due date.

PART 4: CRUDE OIL & LEASE CONDENSATE RUN TICKET VOLUMES (SALES) BY API GRAVITY
Report:
• The crude oil and lease condensate run ticket volumes by each API gravity category for each state where this operator has producing wells (see example below).
• The volume of crude oil and lease condensate by API gravity category rounded to the nearest barrel (no decimals).
• Crude oil and lease condensate volumes by API gravity categories at 60 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Blank cells for any state or region that the operator is not operating producing wells or has no sales.
• For the reporting period only.
• Reasonable estimates if necessary to meet the EIA-914 due date.
Do Not Report:
• The average API gravity for each state.
Example:
• For the reporting period, Operator X has 5,000 bbls sold in Arkansas as reported on their run tickets. Of those 5,000 bbls sold, 2,500 bbls have an API gravity of 34 and 2,500 bbls have an
API gravity of 36.
• For the reporting period, Operator X has another 3,000 bbls sold in California as reported on their run tickets. These 3,000 bbls are from one well in California. However, 1,500 of these bbls
are reported on the run tickets as having an API gravity of 39. The remaining 1,500 bbls, from the same well, are reported as having an API gravity of 41.
• Operator X has no sells in Ohio during the reporting period.
• Operator X operates many wells in Texas. Operator X groups all of their Texas run tickets by these API gravity categories and then sums them for each API gravity category. For the reporting
period, Operator X reports 40,000 bbls in the 20.1-25.0 API gravity category, 60,000 bbls in the 30.1-35.0 API gravity category, 30,000 bbls in the 35.1-40.0 API gravity category, 40,000 bbls in
the 40.1-45.0 API gravity category, and 2,000 bbls in the greater than 55.0 API gravity category, for a total of 172,000 bbls in Texas.
This is how Operator X would complete the table.

DEFINITIONS
Flared/Vented: Natural gas that is disposed of by releasing it into the atmosphere or burning.

Natural Gas Gross Withdrawals: Natural gas after lease separation, including all natural gas plant liquids, nonhydrocarbon gases, gas
injected, gas flared and vented, and gas production used as fuel on the lease. Also includes production delivered as royalty payments.
Crude Oil and Lease Condensate: Liquid hydrocarbons recovered from lease separators or field facilities.
Lease Separator: A facility installed at a well or field for the purpose of separating the full well stream volume into its components. For oil wells,
these components include produced crude oil, natural gas, and water. For gas wells, these components include produce natural gas, lease
condensate, and water.
Natural Gas Lease Production: Gross withdrawals of natural gas minus gas production injected on the lease, vented on the lease, flared on
the lease, used as fuel on the lease, and nonhydrocarbon gases removed in treating or processing operations on the lease.
Nonhydrocarbon Gases: Typical nonhydrocarbon gases that may be present in produced natural gas, such as carbon dioxide, helium,
hydrogen sulfide, nitrogen, and water vapor.

SANCTIONS
The timely and factual submission of Form EIA-914 by those required to report is mandatory under Section 13(b) of the Federal Energy
