(2) the royalty rate and market price paid for the gas at the wellhead at least equals the royalty rate and market price paid at the wellhead in the immediate area for gas used for light and fuel purposes.
(b) In arriving at the market price of sour gas, a reduction of not more than one-half cent per 1,000 cubic feet shall be allowed for purifying the gas to render it suitable for light and fuel purposes.
