Definitions
Qualified enhanced oil recovery costs means: 1. Any amount paid or incurred during the tax year for tangible property— a. That is an integral part of a qualified enhanced oil recovery project, and b. For which depreciation (or amortization) is allowable. 2. Any intangible drilling and development costs— a. That are paid or incurred in connection with a qualified enhanced oil recovery project, and b. For which the taxpayer may make an election under section 263(c). For an integrated oil company, this includes intangible drilling costs required to be amortized under section 291(b). 3. Any qualified tertiary injectant expenses paid or incurred in connection with a qualified enhanced oil recovery project, and for which a deduction under section 193 is allowable. Qualified enhanced oil recovery project means any project involving the application of one or more tertiary recovery methods defined in section 193(b)(3) (and listed below) that can reasonably be expected to result in more than an insignificant increase in the amount of crude oil that will ultimately be recovered. The project must be located within the United States, which includes the seabed and subsoil adjacent to the territorial waters of the United States and over which the United States has exclusive rights by international law for exploration and exploitation of natural resources (see section 638(1)). The first injection of liquids, gases, or other matter must begin after 1990. However, any significant expansion after 1990 of a project begun before 1991 is treated as a project where the first injection begins after 1990. Additionally, the operator (or designated owner) must submit a certification from a petroleum engineer that the project meets the above requirements. File this certification with the Internal Revenue Service Center, Austin, TX 73301, by the due date of the operator’s (or designated owner’s) Federal income tax return. The petroleum engineer certifying a project must be duly registered or certified by any state. The operator (or designated owner) must certify each following year that the project continues to be implemented substantially in accordance with the petroleum engineer’s certification. This continued certification must be filed with the Internal Revenue Service Center, Austin, TX 73301, by the due date for filing the operator’s (or designated owner’s) Federal income tax return.
If the application of a tertiary recovery method is terminated, the operator (or designated owner) must submit a notice of project termination to the Internal Revenue Service Center, Austin, TX 73301, by the due date of the operator’s (or designated owner’s) Federal income tax return for the tax year in which the project terminates. See Regulations section 1.43-3 for the information that the notice and the above certifications must include. Tertiary recovery methods qualifying for the credit include: ● Miscible fluid displacement, ● Steam drive injection, ● Microemulsion flooding, ● In situ combustion, ● Polymer-augmented water flooding, ● Cyclic-steam injection, ● Alkaline (or caustic) flooding, ● Carbonated water flooding, ● Immiscible nonhydrocarbon gas displacement, or ● Any other method approved by the Secretary of the Treasury.

Specific Instructions
Part I
Figure any enhanced oil recovery credit from your own trade or business on lines 1 and 2. Skip lines 1 and 2 if you are claiming only a credit that was allocated to you from an S corporation or a partnership.
S Corporations and Partnerships
Figure the total credit on lines 1 through 4. Then allocate the line 4 credit among the individual shareholders or partners in the same way that income and loss are shared. Electing large partnerships, include this credit in “general credits.” Line 1. Enter the total of the qualified costs paid or incurred during the year in connection with a qualified enhanced oil recovery project. See Definitions above. Line 2. You must reduce the otherwise allowable deduction(s) for line 1 costs by the line 2 credit attributable to these costs. Also, if any part of the line 1 costs are for expenditures that increase the basis of property, reduce the otherwise allowable basis increase by the line 2 credit attributable to these costs.
