Only those who have significant involvement in the natural gas and oil industry in West Virginia, are employers and are approved for membership by the GO-WV Board of Directors are admitted as Members. Generally, an “employer” employs employees and: (1) has the power to hire and fire; (2) supervises and controls work schedules or conditions of employment; (3) determines the rate and method of payment; and (4) maintains employment records. Generally, an employer withholds taxes and social security payments from salaries or wages, and submits W-2 forms.
Producer/operator members pay $0.012 per mcf, with a minimum fee of $1,000 and a maximum fee of $45,000. Please calculate below based on mcf produced and reported to WV DEP.
PRODUCER/OPERATOR (Conventional / Unconventional) dues are based on the total annual production (in MCF’s) as reported by you on your annual well-production reports to the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection’s Office of Oil and Gas. Dues are calculated at $0.012 per Mcf and rounded up to an even amount. The minimum dues assessed will be $1,000 and the maximum dues will be capped at $45,000.
Please carefully compare your annual production reports as presented to the WVDEP to make sure your dues statement correctly states your total production. In addition, production from wells with companies having common ownership has been combined. If your production does not match what has been provided to us from the WVDEP and presented on your dues invoice, please submit a written explanation for review. As a producer-operator, you have the option of paying your dues in installments. A payment schedule is enclosed.
