Energy Production Accounting


The Excalibur Energy Production Accounting (EPA) module is a monthly production allocation system used to manage operated wells. Monthly transactional data including sales, production, well test and well downtime are used in the allocation process to create well history detail for each production period. Monthly transactional data can be manually entered or uploaded via Excalibur Data Interchange.


Flexible Allocation Schemes

  • Allocations are set up and managed by a production analyst. Each production analyst can manage their properties and areas independently of other production analysts.
  • Facilities define allocation points to which wells, tanks, LACT meters and other allocation data are set up
  • The allocation system provides for user-defined products and dispositions to accommodate complex allocation and regulatory reporting requirements. Any product and disposition (sales, production or injection) can be entered to and allocated from a facility, or entered at a well level.
  • Allocations are based on theoretical volumes. Theoretical volumes are calculated for each day in the period based on each well test and downtime entered.
  • Special well allocation allows you to override the system allocation process with a defined percentage or volume for a well by product and disposition
  • Allocation process can be run for all facilities or selected facilities for a production analyst for a period or range of periods. After allocation process is run, no changes can be made to files used by allocation until reversal process is run. Facilities must be reversed, changes made and allocation run again. This ensures that files used for allocation are in sync with allocated data.
  • Run and LACT tickets are automatically adjusted for temperature, gravity and BS&W
  • EPA can use pricing set up in Revenue to price individual sales tickets for purchased volumes
  • Multi-tier oil sales allocations for LACT facilities

Inventoried Product Allocations

  • Manages the complexity of tracking inventories at a lease, tank and well level
  • Tank sales are calculated and allocated back to wells using the first-in-first-out method
  • Effective-dated tank strappings can use fractional or decimal tables

System Integration

  • Allocated well data is used by the Production Regulatory Reporting (PRR) and State Tax Reporting (STR) modules
  • Allocated well data also integrates with Responsibility Reporting and Property Analysis modules for LOS and other processing
  • The create well sales history process compares allocated EPA to allocated revenue sales volumes
  • The create sales allocations process creates sales allocation percentages by well and by product for revenue
  • The Gas Accounting module can update EPA with measured or allocated product volumes
  • The EPA module is tightly integrated with our Daily Production (DP) module, which provides for daily allocation production data. The EPA/DP integration maximized single-point data entry.

Third-party Integration

  • Pre-defined Excalibur Data Interchange (EDI) jobs bring in their allocated (allocated well production) or unallocated (sales, production, gauges, well test and downtime) data from third-party systems including IHS Field Direct, Merrick Pro Count, PRAMS and Production Access

Reporting

  • Extensive reporting for set up, transactional and allocated data, including:
    • Operator's monthly report for owners
    • Multi-well facility percentage report for purchasers
    • Comparison of EPA to revenue allocated sales volumes
