Production Allocation & Hydrocarbon Accounting Management System
Kissflow tracks the allocation of commingled production back to each contributing well from wellhead to sales point, flagging an allocation factor that drifts outside range and logging the shift handover that keeps custody intact at every transfer point along the way.
Trusted by energy operators worldwide
A tank battery does not know which well a barrel came from. The allocation record has to.
When production from several wells is commingled at a tank battery or gathering facility before it reaches a sales meter, every stakeholder tied to that volume, royalty owners, working-interest partners, tax authorities, needs to know how much of the commingled total traces back to their well. The allocation factor that answers that question is a calculation, not a direct measurement, and if the well-test data feeding that calculation goes stale or gets entered wrong, every downstream statement built on it inherits the same error.
Kissflow tracks the allocation inputs and outputs from wellhead to sales point: planned well tests, verified line clearance before a transfer, volume logged at every metering point along the way, and an allocation factor that gets flagged the moment it drifts outside its expected range instead of surfacing in next quarter's audit.
A structured shift handover keeps the chain of custody intact across every transfer point and crew change, so an exception raised on the night shift does not get lost before the day shift picks it up.
Where hydrocarbon accounting drifts from what actually happened
Allocation inputs go stale
A well test used to calculate allocation is months old by the time anyone checks it.
No exception detection
An allocation factor that has drifted outside a normal range goes unnoticed.
Handover is informal
A shift change loses detail on what happened at the tank battery overnight.
Downstream statements inherit the error
A bad allocation factor propagates into every royalty and JIB statement built from it.
Six modules. Every allocated barrel tied to a well and a verified factor.
Configure allocation methodology and exception thresholds by facility.
Production planning
Expected production volumes and well test schedules are planned per facility ahead of the operating cycle begins.
Line clearance
Transfer lines are verified clear and correctly aligned before any volume movement between facilities begins.
Execution logging
Volume movement is logged at every transfer and metering point along the full allocation chain, wellhead to sales point.
Exception handling
An allocation factor drifting outside its expected range is flagged for review the moment the drift appears.
Shift handover
A structured handover captures facility status and every open exception across each shift change and crew rotation.
Reporting
Allocated volume by contributing well rolls up into one reportable record for royalty and partner statements.
From request to system of record in four steps
Capture
Volume movement is logged at every metering point from wellhead to sales point, against the expected volumes and well-test schedule planned for the cycle.
Validate
Transfer lines are verified clear before movement is logged, keeping custody intact at every transfer point.
Track
An allocation factor that drifts outside range is flagged for review the moment it appears in the data, and each shift handover is logged in full.
Report
The register is the system of record, so allocated volume rolls up by contributing well and hydrocarbon accounting draws straight from it.
What changes when production allocation runs on Kissflow
| Process | Before Kissflow | On Kissflow |
|---|---|---|
| Allocation inputs | A well test that goes stale between checks | Tracked against its schedule with an age flag |
| Factor drift | Unnoticed | Flagged against an expected range |
| Line clearance | Assumed | Verified and logged before movement |
| Shift handover | Informal notes | A structured record of the shift's events |
| Volume trail | Reconstructed after the fact | Logged at every transfer point as it happens |
| Downstream accuracy | Inherits upstream errors silently | Flagged before it reaches royalty and JIB statements |
Connects to your production accounting and SCADA systems; Kissflow does not replace your hydrocarbon accounting system of record
Kissflow runs the exception-flagging and handover layer around allocation. Your production accounting system remains the system of record for the final volumes.

Built for how commingled production actually needs to be traced back to a well
Drift flagged, not discovered downstream
An allocation factor outside range is caught before it reaches a royalty statement.
A real shift handover
What happened overnight at the facility does not depend on memory.
Well tests tracked to their schedule
A stale input to the allocation calculation is visible before it is used.
Live in weeks
Configure allocation rules in the visual builder, or describe the use case to the AI Builder.
Governed from day one
Role-based access and a full audit trail on every allocation record.
One view across the facility
Production accounting and field operations see the same allocation picture.
