Before integrating XI technologies into our workflow in 2019, our ARO process was chaotic and
scattered. We struggled to gather and consolidate data from various sources, often questioning
its reliability and currency.
Since implementing ARO Manager, our experience has transformed. The platform efficiently
organizes all our raw ARO data, making quarterly updates a breeze. Uploading new or disposed
licenses is a simple task, thanks to user-friendly templates. Navigating through XI’s interface is
intuitive, providing quick access to the information we need.
The ‘All Licenses’ extract has become a cornerstone of our ARO reporting. It enables us to
categorize licenses by project, geographic area, wells, and facilities, facilitating seamless
integration with our ARO models. This extract not only powers our quarterly reporting but also
serves as a valuable resource for ad-hoc data retrieval.
Using ARO Manager has standardized our quarterly process, making it easy for newcomers
to learn. We trust ARO Manager to provide the most current government data, ensuring the
accuracy and reliability of our models. As a result, our ARO process has become more efficient
and dependable.
From a finance perspective, ARO Manager is integral to our workflow. It simplifies the integration
of new drills, facilities, acquisitions, and disposals into our models, ultimately saving us time and
effort.
Our experience with KPMG audits has been smooth since adopting XI in 2019. While they haven’t
specifically questioned our use of ARO Manager, its seamless integration has undoubtedly
contributed to our audit success.
I highly recommend ARO Manager, it’s a game-changer, especially for those still relying on Excel
for ARO data management. Upstream oil and gas companies stand to benefit greatly from its
efficiency and reliability.
In terms of support, any minor issues I’ve encountered have been swiftly resolved by the live
chat help desk. Overall, my experience with ARO Manager has been excellent. It’s user-friendly,
efficient, and has significantly streamlined our ARO process.
