“We needed a way to automate the input of JIBs and oil and gas revenue. Rand Group built the JIB and revenue check import processes in NetSuite, and the team did a great job giving us a more efficient way to manage that activity.”

Case Study
How Henry Resources streamlined Joint Interest Billing and oil and gas accounting
Henry Resources relied on multiple legacy systems and manual processes to manage oil and gas investments, JIBs, revenue activity, and well-level reporting. We helped the firm implement NetSuite and Rand Group’s custom Joint Interest Billing solution to standardize JIB and revenue imports, support gross and net well-level reporting, and bring oil and gas financial data into one connected platform. As a result, Henry Resources reduced manual work, improved reporting and controls, and gained clearer visibility into its oil and gas activity.
