Pennsylvania Collects An Additional $4 Million In Impact Fee Revenue
Susan Phillips / StateImpact PA
A drill site in Susquehanna County before completion.
Pennsylvania’s natural gas drillers have cut the amount of impact fee revenue they owe in half.
When the Public Utility Commission published the first list of fee receipts earlier this week, the agency was still waiting on more than $8 million in owed payments. Four days later, the outstanding balance has been trimmed to $4.1 million.
Among the natural gas drillers who have paid up: Texas-based Carrizo Oil and Gas, which had owed the largest amount of money. The company has now paid $2.9 million in fees.
The per-well fee imposed by February’s Act 13 will fluctuate each year, based on the price of natural gas. Drillers owe $50,000-per-horizontal well for wells drilled before 2012.
In all, Pennsylvania will generate about $206 million in revenue this year. The PUC will distribute the money to local governments and state agencies by December 1.
