The system uses real-time data and comprehensive audit trails, allowing your back office to operate with complete transparency.

Does the PakEnergy system handle specialized oil & gas billing processes like JIB and Revenue Distribution?

Yes. Our system is built around the core financial needs of the energy sector. The integrated Joint Interest Billing (JIB) module automatically allocates costs to investors and partners, supporting multiple AFE (Authorization for Expenditure) netting options and different overhead rates. Additionally, the Revenue Distribution module simplifies the complex process of correctly calculating and distributing revenue to owners, ensuring timely and accurate payments.

The unified, end-to-end structure is designed to handle expansions, acquisitions, and increasing transaction volumes efficiently, allowing you to modernize legacy systems and focus on growth.

Can I integrate accounting data with my field operations and production software?

Yes, that is the core advantage of the PakEnergy platform. Our accounting solution provides end-to-end automation that links seamlessly with modules like Pak Land, Pak Production and OnPing. This integration gives you real-time visibility into operational costs, production volumes, and financial performance, effectively automating workflows from field to finance.

Reducing Backlog in Revenue Processing

Revenue in the oil and gas sector must be accurately tracked and fairly distributed among various stakeholders to comply with agreements, contracts, and regulations. While accounting best practices for revenue recognition and distribution are clearly defined, numerous factors can cause backlogs that delay royalty payments and test stakeholder relationships.

Digital tools, including specialized energy accounting software, are helping oil and gas businesses simplify revenue processing, ensuring timely, accurate, and compliant distributions.

Revenue Processing Presents Unique Challenges

O&G operators face challenges in revenue processing because of disjointed accounting tools and manual processes.

Oil and gas (O&G) operators that rely on generic accounting software, disparate tracking systems, and error-prone manual processes often experience siloed data, inconsistent data, and inaccurate data, which delays revenue calculations and disbursements. Market-driven price volatility can lead to significant revenue fluctuations, complicating financial planning and compromising project viability.

Additionally, without a robust accounting framework in place, managing taxes, payments, and profit-sharing agreements (PSAs) can be labor-intensive, which further delays revenue processing and jeopardizes an operator's profitability and reputation.

Keys to Successful Revenue Accounting

Leverage Automation Tools

Utilize specialized energy accounting software to automate complex calculations, ensure data accuracy, and improve financial reporting. The platform should integrate automated tracking systems for production volumes, commodity prices, and lease terms in real time, equipping your teams with updated information to manage revenue-related documents and processes efficiently.

Mirror Industry Best Practices

Streamline accounting efficiency and optimize financial planning and reporting with PakEnergy

Your system should also create clear audit trails, enabling you to withstand the scrutiny of regulators.

Track and Adjust

Regularly analyze production reports to ensure accurate payments, and monitor key performance indicators (KPIs), such as customer acquisition cost (CAC), average revenue per user (ARPU), pipeline speed, and retention rates, to align with your revenue plan.
