Oil Extraction Tax:
Block A. Pool Code: Enter the pool code assigned by the Commissioner. If reporting oil production from a well that produces from
more than one pool, complete a separate entry using the applicable code assigned to each pool (see Exhibits for a list of
assigned pool codes).
Block B. Well Code: Use the appropriate well code assigned by the Commissioner pursuant to N.D.C.C. chapter 57-51.1 and
N.D.A.C. chapter 81-09-03 as follows:
Code EN
A new vertical well is eligible for a 15-month exemption. The EN code must be used to report
the purchase of oil produced during the 15-month exempt period.
Code HE
A new horizontal well is eligible for a 24-month exemption. The HE code must be used to report
the sale of oil produced during the 24-month exempt period. The well bore of a horizontal well
consists of both the vertical and horizontal segments.
Code FE
A new well drilled and completed on Indian land is eligible for a 60-month exemption. The FE
code must be used to report the sale of oil produced during the 60-month exempt period.
Code NW
A new well is eligible for a reduced oil extraction tax rate of 4%. The NW code must be used
to report the purchase of oil produced after the EN, HE, or FE exempt period has expired.
Code HR
A horizontal reentry well, which is a vertical well bore reentered and recompleted horizontally, is
eligible for a 9-month exemption for each reentry. The HR code must be used to report the sale of
oil produced during the 9-month exempt period. After the 9-month exempt period expires, the taxable
status of the horizontal reentry well reverts to the well code that was applicable before the 9-month
exempt period.
Code IE
A well that meets the definition of a two-year inactive well is eligible for a 10-year exemption. The
IE code must be used to report the sale of oil produced during the 10-year exempt period. After the

that was applicable before the 10-year exempt period.
