About WolfePak Oil & Gas Accounting

WolfePak’s Oil & Gas Accounting packages provide a fast, efficient way for oil & gas businesses to handle daily accounting procedures with specific modules for oil & gas.

The packages include an integrated general ledger system, check stub entry, financial/production reporting, joint interest billing, and revenue distribution. Since the packages are modular based, a system can be built that is right for you.

CDEX Data Exchange

CDEX is an extension of the Check Stub System, where the oil and gas income information is downloaded via internet instead of entered manually from the check stub.

Features include:

  • Eliminates entry errors
  • Reduces data entry time to zero
  • Prints an edit list to check and correct any errors prior to importing into WolfePak

Check Stub Entry

The Check Stub Entry System allows oil & gas operators to track payments received from purchasers. It also helps ensure that all checks are received, and provides information to verify the 1099s sent by purchasers. The optional CDEX system takes it a step further, and allows payment information direct from modem, without having to type in the information from check stubs.

Features of the Check Stub Entry System include:

  • Cross-reference by purchaser’s lease number and your lease number
  • Optional CDEX interface to download check detail from major purchasers via modem
  • Track purchaser payments to ensure all checks have been received
  • Print missing payments reports by operator or by purchaser
  • For the investor: books the owner’s share to the income/expense accounts
  • For the operator: books the amount to be distributed to revenue payable
  • Entries are created in WolfePak’s Revenue system for amounts to be distributed
  • Generate historical reports for 100% and owner’s share:
    • by lease
    • by purchaser
    • by product
    • by production month
    • by deposit date
    • or any combination of the above

Joint Interest Billing (JIB)

Adding WolfePak’s Joint Interest Billing and Revenue Disbursement modules to its powerful financial system creates a complete, fully integrated accounting system for the oil and gas operator. At the touch of a button, print Joint Interest Billing statements, disburse revenue, or produce ýnetý checks for selected owners. The system includes the ability to automatically pay invoices based on due date, and generate past-due notices to investors who have failed to send in their payments. Financial reporting capabilities include complete summary and detail reports, as well as detailed trend reports by lease. Other features include:

We ended up sticking with the WolfePak program. It is great and is able to meet all of our software needs. However, I do feel it is a bit more expensive than it needs to be.

Some of its workflows are a bit confusing and more complex than what I am used but other than that it is a great program.

The support team has been more than great and we are happy with our program so far!

The Good…

Feature packed and compltes our needs

The Bad…

Over priced for what it offers

Some things are not as user freindly

If I could, I’d give a zero rating. They have totally taken advantage of their client base. Way too expensive, taking us hostage to the cloud.

The Good…

We’ve used WolfePak since early 2000’s. Was great until they decided to take advantage of their long term clients.

The Bad…

Pricing. Cloud based. Really anti-customer base.

WolfePak is a user-friendly and logical oil and gas accounting software. I’ve used several different software packages during my career and have been impressed by WolfePak.

The Good…

It’s easy to use and quick to learn. I also appreciate the great service we receive from everyone in the company.

The Bad…

I don’t like that you can’t hard close periods.
