## The Kolena Advantage in Upstream and Midstream

An oil and gas operator's record of truth lives in documents: century-old deeds and assignments, division orders, joint interest billing packets, AFEs, service agreements, gauge and production reports, and state and federal filings. Most of it is scanned, inconsistent, and reviewed line by line.

Kolena runs your own extraction and review logic across those files at scale, generates the output template your team already uses, and delivers it to your land, accounting, or ERP system. Every figure links back to the page it came from, so land, revenue, and compliance teams can defend the result to a partner, a royalty owner, or an auditor.

95%+Faster turnaroundReview cycles measured in hours instead of weeks

99%+Extraction accuracyContinuously benchmarked across models and doc types

Use Cases

## Six Document Workflows Kolena Automates

Each one starts from an expert-built agent, then adapts to your clause library, chart of accounts, and output templates. ROI figures below are modelled estimates for a mid-size operator — we size them against your own volumes during a pilot.

01 · Land & Title

### Oil & Gas Lease and Division Order Abstraction

Turn scanned leases, assignments, ratifications, and division orders into a structured abstract: habendum term, royalty and ORRI, net revenue interest, Pugh and continuous-development clauses, shut-in and depth limitations, consent and preferential-rights provisions.

-   Reconciles extracted decimal interests against your DOI deck and flags every variance.
-   Surfaces expiring primary terms and continuous-drilling obligations before they lapse.
-   Writes clean records back to Quorum, Enertia, or your land system of record.

Leases Assignments Division orders Deeds & probate

Expected ROI

3.5 hrs → 15 min per lease abstracted, review included

~$310K annual efficiency gain across 2,500 lease files

Owners Landmen, Land Administration, Division Order Analysts, Title Attorneys

02 · Joint Interest Accounting

### Joint Interest Billing Audit and Exception Review

Kolena reads inbound JIB packets from every operator format, matches charges to the governing JOA and COPAS accounting procedure, and recalculates working-interest allocations, overhead rates, and cost ceilings.

-   Flags non-consent charges, unapproved AFE overruns, and duplicate vendor billings.
-   Produces a dispute-ready exception memo with page citations for each finding.
-   Clears routine packets straight through so analysts only touch exceptions.

JIB statements JOAs COPAS exhibits Vendor invoices

Expected ROI

85% less manual review labor per monthly JIB cycle

1–3% of billed cost recovered through caught exceptions

Owners Joint Interest Accountants, Revenue Accounting, Internal Audit, Controller

03 · Drilling & Completions

### AFE and Well Cost Invoice Reconciliation

Field tickets, rig day rates, and service invoices arrive from dozens of vendors in dozens of formats. Kolena maps each line to the approved AFE and the contracted rate sheet, then explains every variance in plain language.

-   Catches off-contract rates, duplicated mobilization charges, and unbilled credits.
-   Rolls daily drilling and completion reports into an actual-vs-AFE cost tracker.
-   Delivers a supplemental-AFE trigger list to engineering before spend is committed.

AFEs Field tickets Rate sheets Daily drilling reports

Expected ROI

4 days → same day well cost close per pad

~$45K avoided overbilling per drilled well, at 0.5% capture

Owners Drilling Engineers, Cost Control Analysts, Operations Accounting, AP

04 · Contracts & Supply Chain

### MSA, Insurance, and Right-of-Way Agreement Review

Kolena reads master service agreements, certificates of insurance, surface use and right-of-way agreements against your contract playbook and flags every deviation before signature.

-   Checks indemnity, knock-for-knock, limitation of liability, and insurance minimums.
-   Verifies COI limits, additional-insured wording, and waiver of subrogation per vendor.
-   Tracks ROW term, renewal, damage, and restoration obligations by tract.

MSAs COIs ROW & surface use Gas purchase contracts

Expected ROI

70% reduction in outside counsel and paralegal review hours

2 weeks → 2 days vendor onboarding and contract turnaround

Owners Contracts Administrators, Supply Chain, In-House Counsel, Risk & Insurance

05 · HSE & Regulatory Compliance

### Regulatory Filing and Emissions Report Assembly

State and federal reporting pulls from production reports, gauge sheets, LDAR inspection logs, and permit files. Kolena assembles the package, checks it against the current rule text, and shows its work.

-   Cross-checks reported volumes and flaring against permit conditions and prior filings.
-   Reads HSE incident reports to classify recordables and surface repeat root causes.
-   Keeps procedure documents and agent logic aligned as rules change — in minutes.

State commission forms GHG & LDAR reports Permits Incident reports

Expected ROI

90% less time assembling and QC-ing each filing cycle

Audit-ready reasoning log and citation behind every reported figure

Owners HSE Managers, Regulatory Analysts, EHS Compliance, Production Reporting

06 · A&D and Corporate Development

### Acquisition and Divestiture Data Room Diligence

Point Kolena at the seller's data room and get a structured diligence package: lease and title exposure, WI/NRI rollup by tract, contract assignability, environmental liabilities, and P&A obligations.

-   Processes thousands of files in parallel — full data room in an afternoon.
-   Builds the red-flag schedule and defect list your risk committee expects.
-   Feeds verified interests and pricing terms straight into your valuation model.

PSAs Title opinions Reserve reports Environmental records

Expected ROI

6 weeks → 5 days diligence cycle on a mid-size package

The Business Case

## Where the Return Comes From

Four sources of value, in the order operators typically realize them. We build this model with your volumes, blended rates, and cycle times during the pilot.

Labor Hours returned to the team Analysts stop rekeying and start reviewing exceptions. Capacity grows with acreage instead of headcount.

Leakage Dollars recovered Overbilled JIB charges, off-contract service rates, missed royalty deductions, and lapsed obligations caught before they cost money.

Speed Cycles compressed Faster close, faster diligence, faster vendor onboarding. Deals get signed on your timeline, not the review queue's.

Risk Exposure reduced Consistent application of your own standards, plus a defensible record for auditors, partners, and regulators.
