report of volumes.
(a) It shall be the duty of the Corporation Commission and said
Commission is hereby authorized, empowered and directed to determine
the average temperature of gas, as produced in each oil and gas
field in Oklahoma, and to determine the other variable factors
necessary to calculate the metered volumes in accordance with the
Ideal Gas Laws and the variable factors to correct for deviation
from the Ideal Gas Laws in each of the oil and gas fields in the
State of Oklahoma. Upon request of any interested party the
Corporate Commission shall give notice and hold a public hearing
before making such determination.  Promptly upon such determinations
the Corporation Commission shall make and publish such findings and
promulgate such reasonable field rules as may be necessary to
effectuate the provisions of this act.
Any person, association of persons, or corporations shall be
permitted to use the findings and field rules of the Commission for
all purposes under this act, but if such findings or field rules are
not so used in determining volumes under this act, the volumes so
otherwise determined shall be corrected to the basis of the
"standard cubic foot of gas" as defined in Section 2 of this act.
(b) Any person required to report volumes of gas under the laws
of this state, shall report such volumes in number of standard cubic
feet calculated and determined under the provisions of this act.
