persons who are concerned about implementation of the Federal
Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA); the Federal Food,
Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA); and the amendments to both of these

MEMORANDUM

FROM:	ICF International

TO:	Ravi Srivastava, EPA OAQPS

THRU:	Graham Fitzsimons, EC/R

DATE:	 	April 14, 2016

SUBJECT:	Characterization of Wells Across the U.S. Relative to a Gas to Oil Ratio of 300
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This memorandum documents the technical analysis performed to characterize oil and gas wells with respect to gas to oil ratio (GOR) for the first 30 days of production.  This document analyzes roughly 37,800 oil and gas well completions across the United States in year 2014.
Characterization of Oil and Gas Well Completions
A frequency analysis was performed for all oil and gas well completions in 2014 with a gas to oil ratio of 300 scf/bbl or less based on their gas production values, as shown in Figure 1 below.

Figure 1: Oil and Gas Well Completion Counts According to Gas Production Rates for GORs <= 300 scf/bbl

For each of the gas production ranges in Figure 1, summary statistics were calculated for oil production values and summarized in Table 1 below.  It can be observed that for the majority of gas production values, with the exception of a few outliers, median and average values are consistently less than 100 bbls/day.  There are several wells with "0" oil production. This is because these wells do not report any oil sales and therefore the GOR is assumed to be zero, as the GOR cannot be calculated (denominator term in the GOR calculation being zero). In reality, however, these zero GOR cases can represent one of two scenarios, (a) extremely low volumes of hydrocarbon liquids production in which case it is not reported as a sale volume, and (b) truly zero liquids production as in the case of coalbed methane wells.
Table 1: Oil Production (bbls/day) Statistics for Gas Production Ranges (MMscfd) for GOR <=300

Oil and gas well splits were also calculated according to a GOR cut-off for all well completions in the dataset.  Tables 2 and 3 below provide these splits for GOR's above and below 300 and whether or not a well is oil or gas according to a gas well cutoff of 10,000 scf/bbl or 100,000 scf/bbl.
Table 2: Oil and Gas Well Splits with Gas Well Cutoff of 10,000 scf/bbl for GORs above and below 300

Table 3: Oil and Gas Well Splits with Gas Well Cutoff of 100,000 scf/bbl for GORs above and below 300

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange
Commission, Office of FOIA Services, Washington, DC 20549-2736

Extension:
    Rule 15g-4; [SEC File No. 270-347, OMB Control No. 3235-0393]

    Notice is hereby given that pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995 (``PRA'') (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities and Exchange
Commission (``Commission'') has submitted to the Office of Management
and Budget (``OMB'') a request for extension of the existing collection
of information provided for in Rule 15g-4--Disclosure of compensation
to brokers or dealers (17 CRF 240.15g-4) under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.).
    Rule 15g-4 requires brokers and dealers effecting transactions in
penny stocks for or with customers to disclose the amount of
compensation received by the broker-dealer in connection with the
transaction. The purpose of the rule is to increase the level of
disclosure to investors concerning penny stocks generally and specific
penny stock transactions.
    The Commission estimates that approximately 178 broker-dealers will
each spend an average of approximately 87.0833333 hours annually to
comply with this rule. Thus, the total time burden is approximately
15,501 hours per year.
    Rule 15g-4 contains record retention requirements. Compliance with
the rule is mandatory. The required records are available only to the
examination staff of the Commission and the self regulatory
organizations of which the broker-dealer is a member.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required
to respond to, a collection of information under the PRA unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control number.
    The public may view background documentation for this information
collection at the following website: www.reginfo.gov. Find this
particular information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day
Review--Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search function.
Written comments and recommendations for the proposed information
collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of this notice
to (i) www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain and (ii) David Bottom,

Notice Extending Answer Period

Docket OST-2004-17279

____________________________________________

On April 15, 2004, United Parcel Service Co. (UPS) filed in the
captioned docket an application for three weekly all-cargo Hong Kong
fifth-freedom frequencies made available effective October 26, 2004, by
the 2002 Memorandum of Understanding between the United States and Hong
Kong.  UPS states that it will use two of the frequencies in the Hong
Kong-Bangkok market and one in the Hong Kong-Singapore market in October
2004.

Under the Department’s regulations (14 CFR 302.307), answers to this
application would be due April 30, 2004.  On April 19, we shortened the
answer period for this application to

April 22, 2004.

On April 22, 2004, Federal Express (FedEx) filed a motion for extension
of time to comment on the UPS application until April 30, 2004.   FedEx
states that it is considering whether it may be interested in one or
more of the limited frequencies in the subject UPS application.  FedEx
also requested that the Department grant its previous Joint Motion for
allocation (filed with Northwest and Polar) and that the UPS application
not delay ruling on the Joint Motion.

On April 23, 2004, UPS filed an answer to the motion for extension of
time, noting that no carrier other than FedEx had filed a response to
the UPS application and no carrier had objected to the UPS application.
UPS requests that its application (as well as the Joint Motion of FedEx,
Northwest, and Polar for Hong Kong-Korea frequencies) be ruled on
favorably by the Department.

In the circumstances presented and in order to have a complete record of
positions on the subject application, we have decided to grant the FedEx
motion for extension of the answer period and to reinstate April 30,
2004, as the answer period for the subject application.

We will serve this notice by email or facsimile to FedEx, Northwest,
Polar, and UPS, and we authorize comments to be served by facsimile or
email.

 FedEx polled persons served with the Motion and received concurrence
from Northwest and Polar as well as an indication from UPS that it would
not require the full answer period to file an answer to the Motion.

Under our regulations, this means that replies to any answer filed will
be due May 11, 2004.
