HKN Energy Ltd. has enjoyed tremendous success and value creation with its strategic approach to developing the Sarsang Block.
HKN strives to maximize value creation for all stakeholders in the Sarsang Production Sharing Contract by focusing in the near-term on the following priorities, while maintaining focus on health, safety and the environment in all operating activities:
HKN aims to enhance value creation for all stakeholders involved in the Sarsang Production Sharing Contract. This is achieved by prioritizing the growth and development of oil production while upholding a strong commitment to health, safety, and environmental standards throughout all operational activities. However, the company has faced considerable challenges in managing its financial planning and reporting processes. Disconnected systems and manual interventions have severely hindered operational efficiency, resulting in fragmented data management, inaccuracies, and significant delays in correcting errors. In a sector as diverse and complex as oil production, spanning activities from drilling to project execution, precise planning and meticulous reporting are essential for navigating effectively through industry complexities.
In response to these challenges, ProLytics introduced Vena as a transformative solution tailored to address the specific needs of HKN Energy. Offering end-to-end planning capabilities meticulously crafted for the HKN’s requirements, ProLytics married the existing AFE processes where Vena could be leveraged for a new level of efficiency to their operations. The introduction of Vena heralded a new era of streamlined P&L planning, seamlessly integrating budgeting and forecasting with intuitive interfaces designed for user-friendly navigation. Automated workflows seamlessly integrated with existing systems, significantly reducing errors and enhancing data accuracy.
ProLytics helped understand where Vena could best be applied for improvement to HKN Energy, particularly in their AFE (Authorization for Expenditure) process. Manual interventions saw a significant reduction, empowering the company to expedite planning processes and make swift, informed decisions. The AFE process, which is crucial for managing capital expenditures in the oil and gas industry, underwent significant streamlining with Vena’s automation and data centralization in a secure cloud. This optimization also enabled user-level access controls helping reduce effort for audit and compliance reporting. The JIB (Joint Interest Billing) process, once constrained to monthly executions, transitioned seamlessly to daily operations under Vena’s guidance, offering real-time insights into financial performance and facilitating timely reporting and decision-making.
Moreover, Vena’s centralized database and user-level access controls ensured the utmost security and integrity of data. HKN Energy could confidently share reports with stakeholders, demonstrating transparency and accountability.
ProLytics’ managing the Vena implementation has allowed significant time savings and cost transparency as a cornerstone of their operations, facilitated by real-time insights into financial performance and informed decision-making capabilities offered by Vena. By incorporating the AFE process into their financial planning and analysis (FPA) framework, HKN Energy achieved enhanced visibility and control over their capital expenditures, leading to optimized resource allocation and improved project outcomes.
With the Oil and Gas industry’s continued focus on reduction of carbon footprint, emissions gasses and increased community involvement, Vena empowered HKN Energy to distinguish themselves with ProLytics actively assisting in post implementation expansions and feature updates. Fostering a culture of informed decision-making and streamlined processes, ProLytics help propelled them towards success with Vena in a landscape fraught with challenges.
Our team of experts is committed to working closely with each customer to achieve their goals, deliver value-added technology solutions, and aid informed business decision-making.
