"The $60 oil price represents a price that's a little bit lower than what we're forecasting and is a situation where most of the upstream producers will be in a minimum tax floor situation in the forecast. The $100 per barrel scenario represents something closer to current prices and would be a situation where most of the producers are in a net tax situation for the production tax. And so the impact of that net versus gross tax is significant when it comes to running these price scenarios."

From the transcript
We picked a $60 price and a $100 price. The $60 oil price represents a price that's a little bit lower than what we're forecasting and is a situation where most of the upstream producers will be in a minimum tax floor situation in the forecast. The $100 per barrel scenario represents something closer to current prices and would be a situation where most of the producers are in a net tax situation for the production tax. And so the impact of that net versus gross tax is significant when it comes to running these price scenarios. But anyway, starting with slide 33, it's the same heat map chart looking at the upstream oil and gas revenue at $60 per barrel oil price.
