P2 BOLO Continues as Leader in Upstream Oil & Gas Accounting

P2 BOLO is the upstream oil and gas industry’s leading accounting software designed to achieve greater value for complex accounting operations. It was built by oil and gas accountants for oil and gas accountants. Features, benefits, and integrations abound, but a key differentiator for P2 BOLO is that it’s a mature and robust oil and gas accounting solution that meets the requirements of all types of operations and regions in the U.S. It is battle-tested and proven to cover edge solutions through deep, embedded functionality that newer solutions do not possess. No other upstream oil and gas accounting software compares in terms of product breadth and depth.

Further, to truly help oil and gas accountants do more with less – less staff/manpower, time, and budget – we’re highlighting some of our current features and functions that increase efficiency and save time and are important for current P2 BOLO users.

• Pad allocations
  • The ability to allocate capital costs to wells or other reporting cost centers that share the same pad

Pro tip: When you build a pad, COPAS AG-29 recommends treating it like a facility, but a lot of companies don't do that. They treat each individual pad as a cost center. As they add wells to that cost center, they reverse previously allocated costs all the way back out and then reallocate them back to the wells associated with the pad so that the new wells share in the pad costs. With P2 BOLO’s pad allocation process, you can reverse out all costs and reallocate them to all wells in a simplified process.

• Regulatory
  • Better support for North Dakota regulatory exchanges
  • Enhanced support for ONRR regulatory functionality
• Mass void check process
  • Annually, producers are required to release minimum suspense payments. Out of this process, a large number of checks are returned. This process enables users to easily handle the return checks.
• Complex revenue distribution from a single division of interest which eliminates the need to set up multiple division of interest decks
  • The ability to disburse revenue by standard division of interest percentages, complex contract provisions, and tiered component exemptions
  • The ability to apply different and complex cost and pricing strategies, by owner, so every owner can receive the benefit of their unique business objectives
  • The ability to accurately reflect what was produced and sold by the well, disposition, and component, so the owners of record are paid in a timely and accurate manner
  • The ability to quickly apply a revenue distribution profile from one property to other properties, or wells within the same pad or lease, for prompt and accurate payments
• Interoperability with P2 iLandMan for names and addresses, checks and invoices
• Improvements to the LOS through the P2 Reporting module
• Improvements to budget and forecasting through the P2 Reporting module
