From the Texas Oil and Gas Association: According to Texas Comptroller Glenn Hegar’s recently released tax collections data, Texas oil and natural gas producers are paying record amounts this year in production taxes to the State of Texas. A record $666 million was paid to the state in oil production taxes in April and a record $413 million was paid in natural gas production taxes in May. Both collections achieved the highest amounts paid in history. These monthly amounts are remarkable in that they exceed the dollars paid for some entire past years’ revenues.

April: oil production tax — $666 million, the highest monthly collections on record, up 99 percent from April 2021
