The Oil & Gas (E&P and Midstream) Finance Challenge

Full Cost vs. Successful Efforts

The choice of accounting method for E&P companies β€” full cost or successful efforts β€” has significant implications for how exploration costs are capitalized and when impairments are recognized. Managing both methods for different regulatory purposes requires dedicated accounting infrastructure.

Joint Interest Billing

JIB accounting for working interest partners requires precise cost allocation, billing, and cash call management. Errors create partner disputes and audit findings. Manual JIB processes are slow and prone to error.

Hedging & Derivative Accounting

Oil and gas companies use commodity derivatives extensively. ASC 815 hedge accounting designation, effectiveness testing, and disclosure requirements are among the most complex in US GAAP.
