What Are Your Plans?

If we position ourselves as the alternative means of organization for the investors and progressive producers in the oil and gas industry. What does that mean for you as an individual that is interested in participating in this community? If you're asking yourself that question then it assumes that you have some entrepreneurial skills or desires that need some exercise. If that is the case, it would be incumbent upon you to spend some time reviewing the Preliminary Specification in detail. Understanding its differences and how it impacts the areas that you want to spend your time in oil and gas.

The next thing you might want to look at is our time lines and the prospects of change being implemented within the industry during that time period. Will these changes happen? Will they happen in that time frame? What would be needed in order for you to leave where you are working in 2018 or later and move to your own firm operating as a user community participant and service provider? What level of organization and preparations on your behalf would be necessary in order to make that change. Are the next four years adequate?

Not everyone will be able to make the transition from the bureaucratic systems that are operational today to the future that we are discussing. Look at any business magazine and they frequently discuss the effect that Information Technology is having on business. An effect very similar to the one here at People, Ideas & Objects. Like so many transitions in the past some people just can’t make the transition. Having time to prepare certainly makes the change easier from most people’s point of view, I think. Having control of the changes is maybe the most effective way in dealing with these changes. Therefore taking the initiative now to plan and prepare for the possible changes in the industry in January 2017 and 2019 might be a wise and prudent investment of your time and energy. After all what is the bureaucracy offering you as an alternative.

There are no guarantees in life. And I am certainly not in a position to provide anyone with anything. There is no prospect of People, Ideas & Objects proceeding within the industry at this point. What we need to do however is to offer the investor community with the proven capability to operate the industry if they should choose to decide to make the transition to People, Ideas & Objects Preliminary Specification. There is nothing I can do to prepare for that possibility. Other than to plan and prepare for the Preliminary Specification, the user communities leadership and general communities development, the service providers and the app marketplace. And that requires people such as yourself to make the conscious decision to leave what they are doing now, down the road in 2017 or later, and plan and prepare themselves in their own interest as members of the user community or as service providers and app marketplace providers.

Its a chicken or egg type of thing. The individual acts of people, doing this for their own self interest in developing a sound service based business in oil and gas. And for the purpose of developing a solution on providing the innovative and profitable oil and gas producer with the most profitable means of oil and gas operations. The fact that time is on our side is the real value in considering this opportunity today.

We will be knee deep in technology in 2017, that is one thing that will be a certainty. Therefore it would be a good time to take some technology courses to help in this transition. I can certainly recommend that people take courses in relational databases and Java. Those technologies, and a general understanding of those technologies throughout the user community, service providers, and of course the app marketplace might, dare I say, be a mandatory requirement by the time we get there. In order to fully understand and appreciate the opportunities and what you can do in the application requires a full understanding of what you can do in the technology. The technological concepts are opening up new conceptual ways in which the People, Ideas & Object applications will be able to function. Service providers who are on the front lines of providing the producers with their needs could really provide a much higher level of service by fully understanding the relational model and Java, as well as their accounting or administrative oil and gas industry knowledge.

Profits vs. Cash Flow?

There are many people such as myself. Particularly those that read this blog that agree that the manner in which the oil and gas producers are operated by the bureaucracies has to change. That profitability, in what can only be described as a mature industry, is the only responsible manner and priority to proceed from this point forward. I understand the desire to trade on multiples of cash flow. It happens in most industries when the businesses need to be built and the industry is young and is at the beginning of a long and hopefully prosperous future. The need to invest in the business fuels the demand for capital and the metric that is used to determine a healthy business is a multiple of cash flow. To be using that today in the oil and gas industry I think is as a result of the bureaucracy having the luxury of sitting on its hands, unchallenged, for so long that they think they can get away with it.

It used to be that I was the only one that thought that profits should be of concern. When I raised the point I was usually derided as not understanding the way in which the industry operated. I assured them that I knew how the industry operated. Knowing what we know today, and the fact that the decentralized production model provides the oil and gas producer with the ability to become a price maker. Who can argue that profits should not be the deciding factor in determining what should be produced? Today the bureaucrats don't have a leg to stand on in terms of arguing the point about profits, if they ever had.

I have to say that we have come a long way in making the arguments of having the Preliminary Specification implemented in the oil and gas industry. What was a chance in a million in 2004, albeit a significant threat, is now something that is under reasonable consideration by many like minded people. What was just an idea is now a defined business model for the innovative and profitable producer, the user community, the service providers, the app marketplace and lets not forget the effect it will have on the service industry as well. What we have is a budget and a plan as to when this will be put in place and how it will be funded. What we are going to do is offer the investors and the progressive producers the opportunity to fund this environment and build this alternative means of organization for them to manage their assets. An alternative means or organization to manage their assets based on the profits they can make in the mature oil and gas industry.

To suggest that the oil and gas industry needs to be “built-up” by investors in order to realize the value that exists in the shale reserves is a story that I don't think anyone is going to buy. I think the investors have been told many times that they were needed to move the industry just a little bit further and a little bit further too many times in the past. The story isn't selling. The bureaucracy needs the investors money in order to pad their pensions and add to their summer cabins. What the investors may have already realized is that the game was fixed from the beginning and they were mark. What they should quickly realize now is that, since they realized that they were the dupe, is that those dishonest players are going to take their cards and move to another scam. That is the bureaucrats are going to realize that their ability to play the investor for the fool is over and move on to another industry.

Therefore, the investor is going to need someone to manage their assets as the bureaucrats are going to be high tailing it out of here faster than you can say “where is a cop when you need one?” And that has to be this community, consisting of the Preliminary Specification, user community, service providers, app marketplace and all that we have discussed here. Its been 10 years since we started this and many things have happened to take this from one chance in a million to who knows what our odds are today. But if we keep at it and keep building like we have, we just might be the ones that the investors find that they can rely on. I’m certainly betting on it.

Challenging Industries Pricing Assumptions

In today’s post I want to take one of the assumptions that industry is operating on and challenge it in terms of whether or not that really is the method that they want to operate the industry. The assumption is that the producers need $6.70 / mmbtu for their natural gas in order for them to be profitable. It is this assumption that we have also used in determining that the decentralized production model would provide the $700+ billion in opportunity costs to the industry. It is the calculation of $6.70 that may be incorrect in that it provides an average across the industry. Where the conventional gas profits, which would be substantial at that price, more than offset the losses in the unconventional areas. This I think is the inappropriate manner in which to operate the industry. Under this scenario, the unconventional gas should remain shut-in until the prices realized in the marketplace are adequate to produce a profit on the unconventional gas production as well.

This change would introduce much higher gas prices and higher opportunity costs for industry than what we have calculated before. Some may feel that People, Ideas & Objects are just looking to accelerate our value proposition by pumping up the value of the industries opportunity costs. The effect of this change could be in the order of three or more dollars in the price of natural gas and a doubling of our opportunity costs. The focus should not be on whether the oil and gas producer is profitable as a whole, it should be on the profitability of each individual property. If the property is producing, that imputes that it’s profitable. And that the producer is only producing profitable properties. Not that the producer is producing a mix of profitable and unprofitable properties, but on a whole is still marginally profitable. That is not the production discipline that we are seeking to instill in the producer firms.

The current high throughput production model rewards the producer with the highest production output that they can attain. That is why there is so much emphasis on the producers boe / day by the investors. The higher the production output the lower the costs of the overhead per barrel of oil. However, that metric no longer applies in the decentralized production model. If your producer firm is capable of 100,000 barrels / day of production. Your overhead per barrel of oil is $x.xx / bbl of oil whether your yield is 20,000 or 80,000 barrels on a given day. The fact that you are profitable at either 20,000 or 80,000 barrels per day is the point that needs to be considered. It is far more important to produce only profitable production as the criteria of concern rather than the overhead per barrel of oil in the high throughput production model. Investors will adjust to this new model and begin to recognize and appreciate the production discipline that profitable producers implement.

Holding properties off of the market will become the common sense thing to do in the oil and gas marketplace. Since there will be no charge for operations, royalties or overhead in the decentralized production model. The shut-in property will record a null operation and will not influence the companies financial performance in the quarterly financials. Whereas by producing the property today has a negative effect or drag on the performance of the firm. The point of this blog post is that in order for the industry to be at full natural gas production will require the industry to realize much higher prices than the $6.70 that is currently assumed by the marketplace. To cover the costs of the unconventional gas production the price may have to breach $10.00.

If we attain $10.00 on all of the gas that is produced in the North American marketplace the opportunity costs as a result of the move to People, Ideas & Objects decentralized production model, moves well into the multi trillion dollar values for the decade 2009 to 2019. Producers have a choice. They can continue to develop the shale gas reserves with no hope of ever making a profit. Or adopt People, Ideas & Objects and earn the profits that the investors demand of the industry. It’s their choice.

A Quick Note

Today I'm taking a mental health day. Don't tell anyone, and I recommend everyone do the same. 

A View From the Prototypical App Marketplace Developer

We recently announced that we had added the “app marketplace” to our offering. The app marketplace is designed to provide a service level offering of mobile applications to the people working within the oil and gas industry and the producers themselves. The division of labor would be that People, Ideas & Objects would focus on the industrial elements of the application needs of the producers and users in the industry. And the app marketplace developers would provide the industry with the mobile applications that can be of use and value to the users and producers in the industry. We would provide the app marketplace with access to our data model, an Application Programming Interface (API) and from there they would be able to develop these mobile applications. Stating this however does not preclude People, Ideas & Objects from having our features and functionality being delivered in a mobile environment.

In terms of the view of a prototypical developer in the app marketplace. Just as we have taken a rearward looking perspective on the producers, service providers and user communities activities this week. Today I want to look back from the future of what it might be like for an app marketplace developer. Gaining a perspective on how things may have developed.

You have always been employed in the oil and gas industry working on ERP systems development and deployment. These big systems have always provided a healthy lifestyle, however you also like to dabble in the technologies that were developing on the edge of the Information Technology frontier. Now with the early retirement offer and the proliferation of the app marketplaces for phones and tablets taking off in general, and one being developed for oil and gas, there was little choice really. Sure there are only a few hundred oil and gas companies, but there are well over 12 million people employed in the oil and gas industry. That is a large enough market that your ideas could be recognized and be reflected in a material sales volume.

Now that was a few years ago and I have three applications that have achieved commercial success. They are fairly simple applications but the users really appreciate their value. We continue to work on them to improve them based on our user communities contributions with updates being populated to the users almost immediately. Software development was meant to be this productive and this much of a value add.

We also have a few new ideas for two new apps that we are planning to develop later this year. The level of innovation in the app marketplace is astounding with so many app developers providing so many applications to the users in oil and gas. But that hasn't stopped the level of innovation. If anything it has created a whole new standard and sub-industry of innovation within the industry. Although I’m retired I've never been so busy or focused on the work that I am doing.

One of the advantages of working within this app marketplace is that the work that you do is protected by the license with People, Ideas & Objects. When I publish my app in the marketplace it holds the marketplace as the exclusive app provider for the industry. There are no “me too” app developers to come along and steal your thunder. If they try, they are removed from the marketplace. This helps significantly in the revenue area where I can focus on my user community and invest in making the app the best that it can be. The users end up with the best application at the lowest cost, and are not provided with ten poorly made applications providing the same functionality. Everybody wins.

Things have certainly changed over the past few years. I find the work to be much more interesting and I think the users and producers are getting the information and applications that they really want and need. A far different structure in the industry, but one that is more productive and profitable for all concerned.

A View From the Prototypical User Community Participant

Just as in the previous two posts, this discussion will be from the point of view of the future looking back on the developments from the perspective of a user community participant. In this case someone who has extensive knowledge in oil and gas with a strong aptitude in Information Technology. This individual is a member of the user community and choses to work within the community and the service providers as their area of expertise.

Its been a few years that the People, Ideas & Objects systems have been operational in the oil and gas industry and there seems to be more work than ever. Using the Joint Operating Committee as the key organizational construct of the innovative and profitable oil and gas producer has been dramatic in terms of its impact on the industry. Certainly there is the performance that was expected however this new business model has so many areas to explore and develop. What we know today is only the beginning of what we can do with these systems, the user community and the software development capability available to us.

Adding to that we have only begun to understand what is possible in terms of how to automate the process, how to further divide the labor and of course specialize. These tools that we use in the user community are powerful in terms of how they can ensure that we provide the oil and gas producer with the most profitable means of oil and gas operations. For example we had a recent breakthrough in the Material Balance Report that “Margaret Thatcher” came up with that reduces the overall process by 15 days. Brilliant. We had it implemented industry wide within one week of her breakthrough. This one change is being reviewed to see what impact it will have on the rest of the process in terms of further improvements. As I said there is just no end to the work to be done.

I have worked on the Material Balance Report since the beginning, starting back in 2015. I have always worked in the production and revenue accounting process of the oil and gas industry and was frustrated, like so many others, with the archaic paper processes. The difficulties in automating those processes were beyond the scope of what one firm could undertake on their own. So when People, Ideas & Objects were organizing the industry to do the Material Balance Report and automation of the production and revenue accounting processes, I was hooked. This whole area has been a difficulty in industry. It needs to have the appropriate approach to make the solution real. We've now had that for the past few years and the current system is operational based on the Preliminary Specification. But it only shows what is really possible. There is so much more.

As a user community participant I am a member of the user community and participate with other members of the Material Balance Report and automation team. I also have a few service providers who are clients of mine that discuss with me their needs and concerns. However, I keep my ear to the ground through the user community to learn what is going on in the broader industry. I also have a strong relationship with the members of the development team for the Material Balance Report and work with them frequently to ensure that they fully understand our needs. I do all of this work by myself with my fees being covered by the user community and my service provider clients. I don’t ever imagine going back to anything else, this work is significant in terms of the value that it provides the oil and gas producers, the service providers who are providing the services to the producers and everyone else that I have contact with. The accounting and administrative processes associated with the Material Balance Report will eventually all be automated. Until that time there is much to do and producer profits to make.

A View From the Prototypical Service Provider

You have been fortunate enough to position yourself in the past few years to own and operate one of the service providers in this newly configured oil and gas industry. The process that your team is focused on is the Lease Rental Payment process. Your domain of operations is the United States. Paying lease rentals on behalf of all the oil and gas producers may not excite too many accountants or administrators. However, it is this process that is required for producers to maintain the title to the mineral rights that they are producing. One missed payment is unacceptable to the producer client, as it is to the leaseholder and you the service provider. Whether the payment is made to the federal, state or on private lands accuracy and timeliness, the two cornerstones of accounting, are the priorities in the management of this process.

Your clients include that start up that just purchased some producing properties, ExxonMobil and everyone in between. As their agent you will be paying the lease rentals as they become due for all of their lands that they wish to keep. Therefore during development of the People, Ideas & Objects Preliminary Specification your participation in the user community was critical in defining exactly what was necessary in terms of your access to the People, Ideas & Objects systems and data. You were also able to have the process approved where the task and transfer network of the Preliminary Specification would trigger the lease rental payment for the appropriate Joint Operating Committee, 60 days prior to the due date. This would enable the producer to approve the payment and trigger the release of the electronic funds within the appropriate time to the appropriate lease holder.

It is upon the successful payment of the lease rental that your service fee is earned. The task and transfer network calculates your service fee at $x.xx per successful payment of lease rentals charged directly to the Joint Operating Committee that the lease rental is part of. This creates a consistent flow of revenue for your team in which to base your operation. Up to this point we have been concerned with the day to day of paying the lease rentals and the various attributes of the client base and the importance of paying the lease rentals on time. This will be a natural part of each and every one of the service providers in terms of the management of the process that they carry out for their producer clients.

The second element of the work that you will undertake is to look at the process in terms of how it could be improved in both the software and the process itself. Using the division of labor within the team to optimize the workload and automate as much of the process as possible is one area that you will be constantly improving. People, Ideas & Objects software development capability will be available to you the service provider to change the systems at your request as there will be no other service providers in the US region authorized to manage the Lease Rental Payment process. Therefore People, Ideas & Objects only have to update the systems to accommodate this one service provider to meet their needs. And since the one service provider is initiating the change, the implementation of these changes will be minimally demanding on the software developers.

It will also be possible for this service provider to become more specialized in this service offering to their oil and gas clients. Particularly in the area of better service offerings. Knowing lease rental payments, and every attribute of them in the US on behalf of the oil and gas industry will be a skill that they will be able to relate to their producer clients in new and innovative ways that are beyond what producers can develop today. Unable to do so today because of the scale of their lease rental data is too small to engineer the most efficient process or develop the software to deal with that process in the most efficient way. Attributes that the service provider will be able to easily obtain due to the scale of the data that they deal with, the service fees that they receive from the industry, their participation in the user community and the software development capability from People, Ideas & Objects.

A View From the Prototypical Producer

Imagine for a moment that you're a producer operating in the environment where the People, Ideas & Objects Preliminary Specification is operational. This has had a dramatic effect on your firm and your profitability has been soaring as a result. That’s just the first outwardly noticeable change that people see. Within the firm itself the difference is night and day. Gone are over half of the staff that used to occupy the many thousands of square feet that you were able to sublease back onto the marketplace. Those people are now part of the service providers who are providing their services to your firm and other producers on a service fee basis. Gone are the needs to concern yourself with the need to build the accounting and administrative capabilities necessary for an innovative and profitable oil and gas producer. These capabilities are now provided as a service to you from the service providers who provide these to their clients, the oil and gas industry.

As a result your CFO is able to focus on the priority of the firms relationships with the investment community and provide you with the financial resources necessary to fully develop your asset base. And it is your key competitive advantages of your land and asset base, and your earth science and engineering capabilities that you are able to dedicate your focus too. Due to the alignment of the compliance and governance frameworks with the Joint Operating Committees legal, financial, operational decision making, cultural, communication, innovation and strategic frameworks. Not only your organization, but your working interest partners are all focused on these competitive advantages. The conflicts and contradictions that were introduced by the old corporate model no longer exist and the speed, accountability and innovation that is as a result is surprising. You not only know of the innovation, you know who initiated the innovation.

The industry has exploded in terms of the research and development being undertaken in the earth science and engineering disciplines. Participation by your firm in many of these working groups and studies has been facilitated by the People, Ideas & Objects Partnership Accounting modules Work Order. This has enabled producers to work together to study various elements of the sciences involved in oil and gas. Participation in these groups are no longer the accounting nightmare they used to be as the focus on the partnership being the organizational construct is the way that the Preliminary Specification is structured. It is the Joint Operating Committee that is the key organizational construct of the innovative and profitable oil and gas producer. It is People, Ideas & Objects recognition of this that we are able to provide the Preliminary Specification. And as a result we are able to extend this organizational construct to the Work Order.

Another benefit that is not so obvious is that the compliance no longer drives the business. It is a result of the business. As the producer firm your concern is to the innovative and profitable pursuit of your key competitive advantages. Not the implementation of the appropriate Sarbanes Oxley compliance provisions, for example. Its not that these are no longer your concern, it’s that they are no longer your priority. The service providers have undertaken to provide these services on your behalf and have what they need in order to do so. It is their business to know intimately what the compliance requirements are. A benefit of the toolset of the division of labor and specialization. The service providers are specialized in their specific areas of expertise. And it will be the service providers who are able to implement the appropriate controls and methods in their process or the People, Ideas & Objects software in order to ensure your compliance. This division of labor is appropriate for the 21st century to ensure that the scope and scale of one organization does not become so broad as to become unfocused, untenable and unprofitable as the oil and gas producer of 2014 is.

Labor Day

No posting today in recognition of the Labor Day holiday. Returning tomorrow.

How Does the Industry Change?

In terms of being a change initiative People, Ideas & Objects certainly have the overall concept down. As a result of implementing the Preliminary Specification there isn't a molecule in the oil and gas industry that isn't disrupted from its otherwise cozy routine. The one redeeming quality of this change initiative is that we are not having to “map” out for people how things will be in the new environment. We are moving to the natural manner in which to operate the industry. One that is logical and one that fits in with the culture of the industry. Therefore anyone with a few years of industry experience will be able to grasp what the change objectives are and be able to move to the new environment with little effort.

The overall guiding principle in making these changes is to provide the oil and gas producer with the most profitable means of oil and gas operations. This spells out part of the key motivation for people to get involved in the development of the software, participation in the user community, development of the service providers, the app marketplace and implementation of the changes within the industry. There is also motivation for all of the people that are involved in those groups to do so. We are establishing in some cases sub-industries with multi-billion revenue streams where no businesses currently exist. In other words there are substantial financial rewards available to those people as well. Change for the sake of change is not what People, Ideas & Objects are about.

If we had to quantify it today it would be along the lines of, “The new manner in which to operate the industry profitably, for all concerned, for the 21st century” as the overall objective. To take what I perceive as a failing industry. Failing in the sense of performance, leadership, accountability, innovation, strategically and tactically. Some might argue that the industry has performed well in terms of the past few years with the discovery and production of shale reserves. However, they are not making any money on those reserves, and they have no prospects of making any money on those reserves. Many would disagree with my assessment of a failing grade on all these metrics. I however stand on the fact that I am able to provide our value proposition through the proposed Preliminary Specification as evidence of the current industries failure.

It may be difficult to see the problems that I see. However, I have been in accounting and audit in oil and gas long enough to know the tricks of the trade to know that the industry is not making any money. Capitalizing royalties in Canada only shows the level of desperation. I see a dead industry that nobody has told that it has died. A ghost going through the motions not realizing that its not really there. No future, no plans and no energy to undertake any new direction or initiative. Dead. Driven by a self interested bureaucracy that in 1950 would have been considered progressive, but in 2014 is primarily responsible for the deforestation in North America. Other than the vast amounts of paper it consumes not many can point to anything that the bureaucracy does. If given another five years the bureaucracy will have the opportunity to upgrade their summer cabins. Which is the only thing you here in the coffee shops and the elevators. The business of the business is dead.

People, Ideas & Objects as a change initiative is therefore more of a survival of the industry than it is anything else. What will you do with the oil and gas industry when it is in the state that it is in? Who is responsible and what actions can be taken to deal with them? What effective actions can be taken to change the course the industry is currently on? Good luck thinking of something. I’m sure the bureaucracy will have as much fun with you as they have had with me. To put the industry on the appropriate trajectory, one with a heartbeat, needs some serious action. I propose the Preliminary Specification, the user community, the service providers and app marketplace. And that way we can have the dynamic, innovative and profitable oil and gas industry we need for the 21st century.
