Latest technology to improve upstream oil & gas operational efficiency

Houston, Texas – October 4, 2005. Quorum Business Solutions, Inc. (Quorum) a leading provider of software solutions for the oil & gas industry announces the formal launch of the industry’s next generation upstream operations and accounting software suite. The Quorum Upstream Software Suite incorporates process and data management features that address the new wave of accounting and control issues that have impacted the E&P industry over recent years.

Built on Microsoft’s .NET technology, the Quorum Upstream Software Suite includes Land & Lease Management, Division Order, Volume Management (FDC, Production Allocation), Production & Revenue Accounting, Gas Marketing, Cost Accounting (JIB, AFE, FA), Core Financials (GL, AP, AR), and Lease Operating Statements. The architectural design allows companies to deploy the entire integrated suite or only selected modules. Quorum has 15 clients actively using various modules of the Upstream Software Suite.

The functionality within each module was designed based on the requirements and best practices from a variety of large and small Quorum clients. The extent of automation and workflow throughout the suite enables oil & gas companies to more efficiently manage growth without comparable increases in operational and administrative costs. All modules provide extensive security, workflow configurability and process controls necessary with the increased demands of the Sarbanes-Oxley era.
