Enhanced oil recovery credit

Program Information

Popular name

N/A

Program Number

TC.014

Program objective

A credit is provided equal to 15 percent of the taxpayer’s costs for enhanced oil recovery on U.S. projects. If the reference price of oil for the previous calendar year is above $28 (adjusted for inflation from 1990), the credit is reduced in proportion to the ratio of the excess over the $28 threshold to $6. Beyond a $6 difference, the credit is fully phased out.
