Frequently asked questions

What is an AFE and why is it on my invoice?

An AFE (Authorization for Expenditure) is a budget approval document used by operators to authorize spending on a well project. Including the AFE number on your invoice helps the operator match your charges to the approved budget, speeding up payment.

How do I handle sales tax on oilfield services?

Sales tax treatment varies by state. Some states exempt oilfield services or equipment used in extraction. Check with your state's revenue department and include any exemption certificate number in the notes section.

What payment terms are standard in the industry?

Net 30 is common, but some operators require Net 45 or Net 60. Larger operators may have specific payment cycles. Always confirm the operator's preferred terms before submitting.
