Over the last few months, I got the opportunity to meet scores of production accountants and analysts from the top Permian Oil and Gas players, during my weekly Open Office hours. Most of their challenges and queries are similar.
Foremen need accurate daily allocations at the beginning of each day. And production analysts cannot afford to spend half their day tracking down data exceptions with lease operators. Here is a list of common questions they ask around how JOYN Production Allocation ((Upstream Oil & Gas Production Accounting) software can help them manage production in a much more efficient and cost-effective way.
How is JOYN Production Allocation software different from its competitors?
The answer is in how we designed it. JOYN is focussed on your business, allowing the ‘Pump by Exception’ philosophy permeates all levels of the organization, from the field to the back office to management. It provides a way for all users to contribute directly to the bottom line of the company.
Can JOYN capture all kinds of data?
JOYN Production Allocation allows you to capture a wide variety of data from production-specific data to EH&S forms. Further, this data can be integrated back to almost any system.
This allows your users to manage and maintain all their data entry in one place w/o having to switch between devices or learning new production accounting software.
How can I have allocated volume metrics to inform my pump by exception algorithm?
The key thing is to ensure that as soon as data is captured in the field the data is allocated by well and that data is made available to an algorithm engine that runs frequently enough to generate an exception to help prioritize the well for a pumper.
Can I set up my own pump by exception algorithm?
Absolutely, it is as easy as writing MS Excel formulae to setup how to prioritize certain items. For example, prioritize Tank Volume at 80% OR a well that just went down OR a well that produced way less than it’s supposed to.
 You have the power and the flexibility to model almost any scenario.
How will JOYN Upstream Production Accounting software help me better run my business?
By helping the entire organization focus on pump by exception, JOYN allows all parts of your company to contribute positively to production optimization and overall efficiency.
How easily can I migrate from my current allocations system to JOYN Production Allocation software?
Quickly and painlessly. We provide along with implementation, a migration path for data from your legacy system to our system. This allows even data like network information to be translated easily.
What about monthly allocations? Do you have that today?
We are in the process of designing & developing a monthly allocation system on top of our cutting edge daily allocations system. We expect it to be market-ready in the next 6-8 months.
