3) To be consistent between states a GOR of 6,000 (cf/bbl) for each years production was used to classify wells.
     If the GOR was less than 6,000 (cf/bbl) the well was classed an oil well, greater than or equal 6,000 (cf/bbl) were gas wells.
4) To determine production rate brackets for the first and last year of a wells life the annual production was divided
