Abstract: Historically, within the oil and gas industry there has always been a need, at least for statistical purposes, to compare the size of gas wells within the same field and from field to field and state to state. In 1931, Texas, by statute, determined that no gas well would be permitted to produce in excess of 25% of its Absolute Open-Flow Potential. The Texas Railroad Commission established potential as one of the criteria in the allocation formula in the West Panhandle Field as early as 1932. Although this was originally thrown out by the courts, it was readopted in somewhat different form in 1938. In 1943 and 1944, the states of Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas established deliverability of the individual gas wells as one of the criteria in the proration formula for the Hugoton Field. The New Mexico Oil Conservation Commission in 1954 placed a factor of deliverability in the proration formula in most of the fields in the San Juan Basin of Northwestern New Mexico. Most gas purchase contracts, after World War II when the long distance interstate gas pipelines began to be built,
