Well P&L for Company Interest

This report reads from the Unit Chart of Accounts for the Company Interest month to date, year to date and life to date values.  These values are when you close the period.


Select Financials - Wells - P&L (Working Int and Company Int)


For notes on Filters, see Well P&L for Working Interest


If a unit is marked “CLOSED” in the Unit/Well file, Roughneck will not print a P & L for that unit.


During a period closing, Roughneck reads through the DOI file to determine which owners are checked for company interest for each unit.  This percentage is then multiplied by the gross amount of each transaction and by the company's percent interest under that status to obtain the value for the company interest.  The general ledger number is now reflected on the Well P & L Company Interest for better cross-referencing. 


The last close report reflects your position as of the last closing.  However, the preliminary report is for a period not yet closed and uses records in the Transaction file to calculate month to date, year to date and life to date values.   


Unit is the lowest level, master unit groups units, a lease groups master units, prospect is the highest level which groups leases.   


Company charges to owners are expenses to the owners, but are treated as income for your company.  The company's income less the company's share of this expense would reflect the company's true income for these charges.  There is no limit to the number of general ledger accounts you can have for company charges; however, they must be in numerical sequence, one after the other.  For example, you cannot have a numerical sequence of general ledger numbers that has a company charge (74175 Admin. Expense) followed by a non company charge (ex: 74176 Materials) and then another company charge (74180 Pumper Expense).  Use the Key Code Change in Utilities under the Data Tools programs to change 74176 to another general ledger number above 74171 or below general ledger number 74189.  Normally, most operators reserve general ledger numbers 74171 to 74189 for the company charges, however, you can use any sequence of billable expense general ledger numbers (71000 to 75999) for these accounts. 


MORE ON COMPANY CHARGES TO INVESTORS

These are normally charges that your company makes to Investors for operating the wells.  For example, Administrative Charges.  These charges are expenses to the Investors but are income to your company.  The company normally shares a percentage of the expense along with the other owners.  Use the Add Recurrent Transaction routine to enter these charges.  Credit income (general ledger number 40000 to 49999), instead of cash, and debit an expense account.  Most operators reserve general ledger numbers 74171 to 74189 for these expense accounts.  (Usually general ledger numbers 74000 to 74999 are for Lease Operating Expenses.) You can use the Key Code Change program under Utilities, Data Tools to change general ledger numbers in all files, if you need to change some general ledger numbers for the correct sequence of general ledger numbers for this report. 


You can print multiple copies by increasing the number of copies on the print box.
