What usually goes wrong

  • Take-or-Pay Revenue Recognition

    Long-term LNG contracts have take-or-pay clauses where the buyer must pay minimum volumes even without lifting.

  • Gas Infrastructure Capitalization

    Large investments in LNG facilities, pipeline networks, and gas processing plants require proper capitalization and depreciation policies.

  • Gas Price and Adjustments

    Index-based LNG price formulas (JCC, ICP, JKM) with periodic price reviews affecting revenue recognition.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is take-or-pay LNG contract accounting handled?

For take-or-pay contracts, revenue is recognized when control of gas transfers to the buyer (at delivery point). If the buyer pays without taking gas, the payment is recorded as a contract liability. If the buyer has make-up gas rights in future periods, the obligation remains until make-up gas is delivered or rights expire.

What is the accounting difference between natural gas and crude oil in PSCs?

Fundamentally similar using the PSC framework, but natural gas has special characteristics: long-term sales contracts (LNG SPAs), formula-based pricing, larger liquefaction facility investments, and different DMO gas obligations compared to oil. Its cost structure and revenue recognition are more complex.

How do accounting services improve operating cost efficiency?

Accurate, timely financial reports help you spot cost leakage, monitor margins by product or service, and make data-based decisions.

Can financial reports be accessed in real time?

Yes. We use cloud accounting systems so you can monitor cash flow, profit and loss, and business performance from anywhere.

How do you ensure reports are ready for external audits or banks?
