If a severer so pays an owner's assessment, the severer may recoup from the owner the amount of the assessment. Except for an exempt domestic well, the assessment imposed shall be in addition to the taxes levied on the severance of oil and gas under section5749.02of the Revised Code.

(B) Except for an exempt domestic well, the oil and gas regulatory cost recovery assessment shall be calculated on a quarterly basis as follows:

(1) One-half of one cent per one thousand cubic feet of natural gas for all of the wells of the owner;

(2) Ten cents per barrel of oil for all of the wells of the owner.

(C) All money collected pursuant to this section shall be credited to the severance tax receipts fund. After the director of budget and management transfers money from the severance tax receipts fund as required in division (H) of section5749.06of the Revised Code, money in the severance tax receipts fund from amounts collected pursuant to this section shall be credited to the oil and gas well fund created in section1509.02of the Revised Code.
