S.B. No. 1438 AN ACT 1-1 relating to the definition of a marginal gas well. 1-2 BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: 1-3 SECTION 1. Section 86.091, Natural Resources Code, is 1-4 amended to read as follows: 1-5 Sec. 86.091. MARGINAL GAS WELL AND LIMITS ON WELL 1-6 RESTRICTIONS. A "marginal gas well," as applied to a well 1-7 classified by the commission as a gas well, means a well that is 1-8 incapable of producing under normal operating conditions more than 1-9 250,000 cubic feet of gas per day. None of the provisions of this 1-10 chapter shall require the commission to limit the production from a 1-11 gas well with a daily deliverability of 100,000 cubic feet of gas 1-12 or less to a quantity less than its actual deliverability. 1-13 SECTION 2. The importance of this legislation and the 1-14 crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an 1-15 emergency and an imperative public necessity that the 1-16 constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several 1-17 days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended.
