Code of Federal Regulations Title 26. Internal Revenue § 26.1.613–3 Gross income from the property

Oil and gas wells. In the case of oil and gas wells, gross income from the property, as used in section 613(c)(1), means the amount for which the taxpayer sells the oil or gas in the immediate vicinity of the well. If the oil or gas is not sold on the premises but is manufactured or converted into a refined product prior to sale, or is transported from the premises prior to sale, the gross income from the property shall be assumed to be equivalent to the representative market or filed price of the oil or gas before conversion or transportation.
