Texas oilmen debate
incentives proposals
MIDLAND (AP) — It is anyone’s
guess what specifics will emerge in
the next budget compromise pack
age.
However, if incentives proposed
for the oil industry in the original
package survive, many in the indus
try agree that they would provide a
double whammy for getting the oil
industry moving again.
“If all the incentives survive,” said
Harry Spannaus, executive vice
president of the Permian Basin Pe
troleum Association, “they could at
tract outside investors back into the
industry.”
Spannaus said that any tax incen
tives for the oil industry would need
to be sufficient to put oil on a level
playing field with other investments.
"If you can make 10 percent on a CD
without any risk, you would be
dumb to risk in a oil well to make 10
percent without a good tax incen
tive,” he said.
He said that the incentives pro
vided in the proposed budget con
tained most of what the oil industry
had been seeking, including help on
the Alternative Minimum l ax.
“These tax incentives could work
to really stimulate activity hi the oil-
patch,” Spannaus said.
If incentives for natural gas sur
vive, Robert Anderson, a natural gas
consultant, said it will be very good
for the industry.
“The tax compromise would re
store incentives for drilling and de
veloping tight sands gas, and that
would really get things moving in
certain parts of the Permian Basin,”
said Anderson. He said there exten
sive tight sands in the Sonora and
Ozona area.
“It is evident that the incentives
work. One only has to look at the
rapid development of coal seam gas,
which has been developed with in
centives, to know that they work,” he
said.
Sen. Pete Dominici, R-N.M., in a
press statement said his state was
blessed with a abundance of coalbed
methane and tight formation sand
and stood to benefit significantly
from reinstatement of the incen
tives.
Train collides
with truck,
man killed
WALLER (AP) — The engineer
of an Amtrak train was killed
Wednesday and at least three other
people aboard the train were injured
when it collided with a tractor-tra
iler, officials said.
Thirty-one passengers were
aboard the Houston-to-Dallas train
when the accident occurred at mid
morning on Farm Road 362 near
Waller, about 40 miles northwest of
Houston, Southern Pacific Railroad
spokesman Jim Johnson said.
The train had been traveling
about 50 mph westbound on the
tracks when the tractor trailer, which
was traveling south on Farm Road
362, attempted to cross the tracks at
a marked intersection and “turned
into the path of the train,” said Wal
ler Police Patrolman Tom Chavez.
The train struck the rear of the
trailer, breaking it away from the
truck cab, Chavez said. “The train
came to rest about 1,000 feet from
the intersection,” he said.
The engineer, whose name was
withheld pending notification of rel
atives, was dead on arrival at Cy-Fair
Hospital, Chavez said.
Court reaffirms
conviction
in Port case
AUSTIN (AP) — David Port’s
conviction in the 1984 slaying of a
Houston postal carrier was affirmed
Wednesday by an appeals court
here.
Harris County prosecutor Tim
Taft hailed the ruling as “good
news.”
Jack Zimmermann of Houston,
Port’s attorney, said he expected to
appeal the decision to the Texas
Court of Criminal Appeals.
The 3rd Court of Appeals has
considered Port’s case before.
In 1987, the court reversed Port’s
“We’re gratified that
this will go on with the
defendant in the
penitentiary. ”
— Tim Taft,
Harris County Prosecutor
murder conviction, saying his unre
corded, oral confession didn’t lead
police to new evidence and therefore
couldn’t legally be used in his trial.
Until this year, Port was free on
$20,000 bond. Then, the Court of
Criminal Appeals said his conviction
should not have been overturned on
those grounds. He now is in state
prison.
The high appeals court returned
Port’s case to the 3rd Court for con
sideration of other issues Port raised
in appealing his murder conviction.
The panel, after considering those
issues, affirmed the trial court’s
judgment, in which Port was sen
tenced to 75 years in prison. He was
17 at the time of the murder.
It could be eight months or longer
before the Court of Criminal Ap-
eals would rule on another appeal
y Port, Assistant District Attorney
Taft said.
“We’re gratified that this will go
on with the defendant in the peni
tentiary,” he said.
Port was convicted by a Comal
County jury in the murder of Debra
Sue Schatz, who was shot in June
1984 after she stopped at Port’s
Houston home on her mail route.
Her body was found two days af
ter the killing in a remote area of
northwest Harris County. She had
been shot twice in the head with a
.22-caliber pistol.
