The BSEE uses the information collected under subpart L to ensure that the volumes of hydrocarbons produced are measured accurately, and royalties are paid on the proper volumes. Specifically, BSEE needs the information to: 1. determine if measurement equipment is properly installed, provides accurate measurement of production on which royalty is due, and is operating properly; 2. obtain rates of production measured at royalty meters, which can be examined during field inspections; 3. ascertain if all removals of oil and condensate from the lease are reported; 4. ensure that the sales location is secure and production cannot be removed without the volumes being recorded; 5. Review proving reports to verify that data on run tickets are calculated and reported accurately; and 6. review gas volume statements and compare them with the Oil and Gas Operations Reports to verify accuracy.
