Indirect Well Allocations
Computers are really good at math
Let SSI do the calculations when splitting costs
to multiple wells.
Indirect Well Allocation is
especially useful for costs that cover numerous
wells, as in a unit or field. Allocation
percentages can be proportionate based on the
number of wells in the field (each well in the
field getting an equal share) or a specific
percentage can be assigned to each well within
the field - just as long as the total allocation
for all wells in the in the field is 100%.
How to build an Indirect Allocation
You will need:
- An Indirect Allocation well
-
An allocation table to include each well in
the split with the corresponding
percentages. To make your job easier, we
have an import for this
part. Import template located in
Excel | Startup Import Templates |
JB02I Template. This is a short-cut, for sure!
- A few mouse-clicks
Here’s the beauty – see
total costs booked to Indirect wells and how
those costs will distribute to each well in the
allocation table. Review allocations and with a
mouse click post allocations as a Journal Entry
to the General Ledger.
Even more beauty – allocation
tables can be added as/if needed by date the
service was performed, AKA service date. The
well count allocation table for one service
month may be different than the well count
allocation for a different service month. All
indirect allocation wells will have a standard
or “default” allocation table that can be used
any time, or every time. But if the well count
changes based on a specific date of service, a
new allocation table can be built to accommodate
that allocation change. Costs are allocated
using the
most appropriate allocation
table
based on the service date. If
there is no need for a specific service date
allocation table, the allocation will use the
default allocation table. If the allocation
changes for July services, any allocations with
a service date prior to July service date will
allocate on the prior allocation table.
