  • Exclusion(s):

    Establishments primarily engaged in:

    • producing crude oil from surface shales or tar sands or from reservoirs in which the hydrocarbons are semisolids and conventional production methods are not possible (See 211114 Non-Conventional Oil Extraction)
    • performing oil field services for operators, on a contract or fee basis (See 213118 Services to Oil and Gas Extraction)
    • recovering liquefied petroleum gases incidental to petroleum refining (See 324110 Petroleum Refineries)
