• Time stamps data and work steps as they are completed, and ensures wells meet formal requirements prior to being brought on stream.

• Produces schematic diagrams of additions and changes.

• Reuses data captured and transfers it to downstream financial and operations systems.

How was it developed?

Alto Produce™ was developed to address a real need within operations and finance, and created from within a mid-size O&G producer, here in western Canada.

The producer was not satisfied with their overall process for tracking and managing work related to production changes and integrating that information with financial systems.

They engaged ICG to conduct a formal assessment, engage the relevant functions to formalize a standardized overall process and then use technology to help facilitate that process, to better manage the movement of information, and to capture and maintain key data.

The ICG team applied their know-how to understand the producer’s concerns, assess the current workflow, identify gaps, and develop a recommended plan to standardize, and then use technology to better manage and monitor the overall process. The result is Alto Produce™.

What benefits does it deliver?

The O&G producer is very satisfied with the results! They report:

• Plays a key role in supporting EPAP compliance

• Fewer prior period adjustments through automated transfer of data to downstream financial systems

• Effectively tracks production related work-in-progress and related financial data

• Improves transparency, accountability and communication across functions and departments

• Reduced errors and delays related to information for the government and working interest owners

Is it easily adaptable to other O&G producers?

The simple answer is yes...

Alto Produce™ was developed to enable each O&G producer to define their own specific processes, and effectively marry them with the industry regulatory processes required.
