Finance & Accounting for Energy

Upstream E&P finance is the reserve roll, decline-curve revenue forecast, capex governance across 36 D&C wells, hedge-book accounting, and the operating-margin bridge by stream and field. Samso runs the close, AFE governance, and royalty-owner accounting for a 18 MBOE/d Permian operator at $480M revenue, 184 producing wells, and a $300M revolver - oil, NGL, and gas on one set of numbers.
