Contractual Analysis, Allocation of Funds Analysis
This case involved an individual net profit interest (NPI) owner and a dispute over payments relating to all the wells falling under his contract, which was approximately 4,000. Each month, data from approximately 10 working interest owner would be normalized, QC’d, and consolidated into a database. Each working interest owner’s file would be individually calculated on a well by well basis using the methodology prescribed by the court and ultimately consolidated into the monthly summaries. The number of records for this project was in the tens of millions and the NPI payment was in the billions of dollars.
