(2) the tax credits for producing oil and gas from marginal wells and for enhanced oil recovery costs;
(3) the tax deductions for intangible drilling and development costs for oil and gas wells and for tertiary injectant expenses;
(4) the percentage depletion allowance;

(6) the tax deduction for income attributable to domestic production activities relating to oil, natural gas, or any primay product thereof. Prohibits the use of the last-in, first-out (LIFO) accounting method by major integrated oil companies. Limits or denies the foreign tax credit and tax deferrals for amounts paid or accrued by a dual capacity taxpayer to a foreign country or U.S. possession for any period with respect to combined foreign oil and gas income. Defines "dual capacity taxpayer" as a person who is subject to a levy of a foreign country or U.S. possession and receives (or will receive) directly or indirectly a specific economic benefit from such county or possession.
