Oil and Gas Collections

Oil and Gas Industry Collections

Oilfield service companies can experience cash flow problems that arise due to high expenses needed to continue operations. Equipment, personnel and other necessary items needed to run the business can’t be delayed. Everything needs to be paid in a timely manner even though a majority of oil and gas businesses don’t pay invoices on expected terms. Many go well over 30 days and may go well over 90 days. This can really cause chaos with the cash flow. Many in the oil and gas industry may turn to factoring which isn’t a good long-term solution and energy loans may be difficult to obtain especially from some regional banks.

Challenges

The oil and gas industry is made up of large corporations as well as small self-employed individuals. Jobs are constantly changing and invoices get overlooked, lost or shoved to the side to be paid “later”. When a customer stalls or seems to go missing and can’t be contacted, it’s time to act. Most oil and gas companies have some internal process that successfully recovers most of the outstanding receivables, but they aren’t going to recover everything. This could end up being hundreds of thousands to even millions of dollars that aren’t being recovered. A recent analysis by Sageworks found that the oil and gas industry is the second highest in number of days of outstanding receivables at over 110 days.
