The tax shall be imposed at the rate per mmbtu determined in Subsection C or D of this section, as applicable.

C. The tax rate for the six-month period beginning on January 1, 1999 shall be determined by multiplying the rate of sixty-five hundredths of one cent ($.0065) per mmbtu by a fraction, the numerator of which is the annual average taxable value per mcf of natural gas produced in New Mexico during the 1997 calendar year and the denominator of which is one dollar thirty-three cents ($1.33) per mcf. The resulting tax rate shall be rounded to the nearest one-hundredth of one cent per mmbtu.

(1) used for natural gas processing by the processor;

(2) returned to the lease from which it is produced;

(3) legally flared by the processor; or
