REVENUE RECOVERY AUDITS

YES provides a unique approach to recovering missing revenues from your company. Combining technical and land resources enables YES to compare ownership records with production and revenue to ensure the company is receiving correct and accurate revenues. With statute of limitation laws in Alberta, this exercise should be at the forefront of all businesses and should be done on a regular basis and at the onset of any A&D activity.

• Accurate Well Revenue Collection
  Production Accounting handles royalty payment receivables, however, the Land Department is responsible for the royalty information in the land system, and the tracking of non-operated wells. A good process for communicating this royalty information from Land to Accounting is required. At many companies, this process is either inefficient or non-existent. YES can assist with this process and ensure you are up-to-date with your royalty receivables.
• Trespass Issues
  With Structured Rights and Zonal dispositions being common business, it’s difficult to effectively and efficiently monitor trespass situations. YES combines land and technical expertise in quickly identifying and researching potential trespass situations thus reducing risk exposure to your company.
• Road Use Collection
  Construction and maintenance of roads is a costly venture for companies. Offsetting these costs by charging companies for road usage is important. YES can assist to ensure that third party billing is occurring, and that the Road Use contractual agreements are tracked properly in the land systems.

OFFSET LOCATION EVALUATIONS

YES provides offset information so that companies can be proactive with Offset locations. Rather than reacting to an offset notice which generally gives 30 days to either drill, surrender or pay compensatory royalties, YES can identify potential offsets to give companies time to evaluate them and make decisions. YES provides technical and land resources that work together to identify potential offset locations utilizing lease, mapping and production information so that clients can proactively add locations to their drilling program or farmout these rights. This process is especially useful when companies have purchased land assets that they are trying to develop.
