Future Developments
For the latest information about
developments related to Form 8830 and
its instructions, such as legislation
enacted after this form and instructions
were published, go to www.irs.gov/
Form8830.

What’s New
Credit availability. The section 43
enhanced oil recovery credit is
completely phased out for tax years
beginning in 2019 and 2020, but
available at the rate of 15% for tax years
beginning in 2021, per Notice 2021-47.
Due to the generally high price of crude
oil, the credit is usually completely
phased out. To find out if the credit is
applicable or phased out for tax years
beginning in 2022 or later, go to
www.irs.gov/Form8830.
Future revisions. Due to the generally
unchanging nature of Form 8830, it’ll no
longer be updated annually, unless
necessary.

Purpose of Form
Use Form 8830 to claim the enhanced oil
recovery credit. This credit is part of the
general business credit.
An owner of an operating mineral
interest may claim or elect not to claim
this credit any time within 3 years from
the due date (excluding extensions) of its
return on either its original or an
amended return. Partnerships and S
corporations must file this form to claim
the credit. All other taxpayers aren’t
required to complete or file this form if
the only source of this credit is a
partnership or S corporation. Instead,
they can report this credit directly on
Form 3800, General Business Credit,
Part III, line 1t.

Amount of Credit
The credit is generally 15% of qualified
costs for the tax year, but is reduced or
completely phased out when the
reference price per barrel of crude oil is
more than the base value of $28 (as
adjusted by the inflation adjustment
factor for the calendar year).

Definitions
Qualified enhanced oil recovery costs
means the following.
1. Any amount paid or incurred during
the tax year for tangible property:
a. That is an integral part of a
qualified enhanced oil recovery project,
and
b. For which depreciation (or
amortization) is allowable.
2. Any intangible drilling and
development costs:
a. That are paid or incurred in
connection with a qualified enhanced oil
recovery project, and
b. For which the taxpayer may make
an election under section 263(c). For an
integrated oil company, this includes
intangible drilling costs required to be
amortized under section 291(b).
3. Any qualified tertiary injectant
expenses (as defined in section 193(b))
paid or incurred in connection with a
qualified enhanced oil recovery project
for which a deduction is allowable for the
tax year. Qualified tertiary injectant
expenses includes expenditures related
to the use of a tertiary injectant as well
as expenditures related to the
acquisition (whether produced or
acquired by purchase) of the tertiary
injectant. However, it doesn’t include
costs that would have been paid or
incurred in the development or operation
of a mineral property if an enhanced oil
recovery project had not been
implemented with respect to the
property. Costs that are related to the
use of a tertiary injectant and that are
also related to other activities (for
example, primary or secondary recovery)
must be reasonably allocated among the
tertiary injectant and the other activities
to determine the amount of tertiary
injectant expenses paid or incurred for
the tax year. For more details, see Rev.
Rul. 2003-82, 2003-30 I.R.B. 125.
4. Any amount paid or incurred during
the tax year to construct an Alaska
natural gas plant within the meaning of
sections 43(c)(1)(D) and 43(c)(5).
Qualified enhanced oil recovery
project means any project involving the
application of one or more tertiary
recovery methods defined in section

For Paperwork Reduction Act Notice, see instructions.

193(b)(3) (and listed below) that can
reasonably be expected to result in more
than an insignificant increase in the
amount of crude oil that will ultimately be
recovered. The project must be located
within the United States, including the
seabed and subsoil adjacent to the
territorial waters of the United States
over which the United States has
exclusive rights by international law for
exploration and exploitation of natural
resources (see section 638(1)). The first
injection of liquids, gases, or other
matter must begin after 1990. However,
any significant expansion after 1990 of a
project begun before 1991 is treated as
a project where the first injection begins
after 1990.
Additionally, the operator or
designated owner must file a certification
from a petroleum engineer, who is
registered or certified by a state, that the
project meets the above requirements.
The operator or designated owner must
also file a certification each subsequent
year indicating that the project continues
to be implemented substantially in
accordance with the petroleum
engineer’s certification.
If the application of a tertiary recovery
method is terminated, the operator or
designated owner must file a notice of
project termination for the tax year when
the project terminates.
