Every Dollar CountsCost control is now a top priority as we must not only continue to increase production, reserves and capacity, but also demonstrate discipline in managing capital and operational expenses.

The answer is not to halt all spending. We must instead become smarter and more purposeful with our investments to ensure the best returns. If you can clearly and consistently demonstrate capital discipline to boost profitability per well and maximize internal rates of return, you will maintain a competitive advantage over your industry peers.

During the execution phase of a project, effective cost control can be difficult due to the rate at which projects often change. In the matter of just a day or two, an under budget project can go over budget, which makes it difficult to compete in a market where access to capital is getting tighter and the near future of the industry is so uncertain.

If you are concerned with demonstrating competency in cost control as an organization, you are not alone.
