Joint Interest Billing & Partner Cost Allocation Management System
Kissflow generates the periodic joint interest billing statement for every non-operated partner, allocating cost by working-interest percentage under the joint operating agreement, and tracks disputes to resolution against the specific statement line before the next billing cycle closes.
Trusted by energy operators worldwide
A working-interest partner who disputes a JIB statement wants an answer this month, not next quarter.
An operator running a well or facility on behalf of several working-interest partners has to bill each one their share of cost every cycle under the terms of the joint operating agreement, and a partner who disputes a line item expects it resolved before the next statement goes out, not carried forward as an open question for a quarter. When the allocation math runs in a spreadsheet and the dispute trail lives in email, a partner audit turns into a research project that pulls someone off their actual job for a week.
Kissflow generates the JIB statement directly from allocation rules tied to each partner's working interest, applies the deduction and tax treatment the joint operating agreement calls for, and tracks a dispute from the moment it is raised to resolution against the specific statement line it belongs to, rather than as a floating email thread.
A suspense account stays reconciled instead of quietly growing: every unresolved amount carries an owner responsible for closing it, so a partner audit request pulls a clean history instead of a reconstruction project.
Where joint interest billing loses partner trust
Allocation is manual
Working-interest percentages are applied by hand each cycle, with room for error.
Disputes carry forward unresolved
A partner's disputed line item rolls into the next statement instead of getting closed.
Suspense grows unexplained
An unreconciled amount sits in suspense with no clear owner to resolve it.
Audits take weeks
A partner audit request means reconstructing months of statements from scratch.
Six modules. Every partner statement tied to a working interest and a dispute trail.
Configure working-interest percentages and allocation rules by well or facility.
Volume and revenue allocation
Cost and revenue are allocated to each working-interest partner automatically, calculated straight from their ownership percentage.
Owner statement generation
A JIB statement is generated per partner, per billing cycle, pulled directly from the underlying allocation record.
Deductions and tax
Deductions and tax treatment are applied automatically per the specific terms the joint operating agreement lays out.
Payment tracking
Payment status is tracked against each partner's individual statement all the way through to final settlement.
Dispute tracking
A disputed line item is tracked from the moment it is raised through resolution against that exact statement line.
Suspense reconciliation
Unreconciled suspense amounts are tracked with a named owner responsible for closing each one out for good.
From request to system of record in four steps
Capture
Cost and revenue are split automatically by each partner's working-interest percentage under the joint operating agreement.
Validate
A JIB statement is generated per non-operated partner for the current billing cycle, ready to send.
Track
A disputed line item is raised and tracked directly against that specific statement, and suspense is reconciled per partner.
Report
The billing register is the system of record for partner allocation, tracking payment status through to settlement before the next cycle closes.
