Frequently Asked Questions

How to record long-term drilling service contract revenue?

Revenue is recognized using the percentage-of-completion method per PSAK 72. Progress is measured based on inputs (actual costs vs total estimated costs) or outputs (milestones achieved). Mobilization fees are generally amortized over the contract period.

Can rig mobilization costs be capitalized?

Mobilization costs meeting the definition of an asset (providing future economic benefits and reliably measurable) may be capitalized and amortized over the contract period.

How to record day rate vs lump sum contracts?

Day rate: revenue recognized based on actual operating days × daily rate. Lump sum/turnkey: revenue recognized with percentage of completion. Standby rates generally recognized when incurred.
