    1-6                         A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
    1-7                                AN ACT
    1-8  relating to the definition of a marginal gas well.
    1-9        BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
   1-10        SECTION 1.  Section 86.091, Natural Resources Code, is
   1-11  amended to read as follows:
   1-12        Sec. 86.091.  MARGINAL GAS WELL AND LIMITS ON WELL
   1-13  RESTRICTIONS.  A "marginal gas well," as applied to a well
   1-14  classified by the commission as a gas well, means a well that is
   1-15  incapable of producing under normal operating conditions more than
   1-16  250,000 cubic feet of gas per day.  None of the provisions of this
   1-17  chapter shall require the commission to limit the production from a
   1-18  gas well with a daily deliverability of 100,000 cubic feet of gas
   1-19  or less to a quantity less than its actual deliverability.
   1-20        SECTION 2.  The importance of this legislation and the
   1-21  crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
   1-22  emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
   1-23  constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
   1-24  days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended.
