Royalty payment software for oil and gas operators

Innovo calculates royalty distributions from production and ownership data, pays every interest owner in one run and reconciles purchaser statements as payments clear.

Why oil and gas royalty payments are hard to run

Operators pay many owners against production that changes every month. The work is spread across teams and systems, so payments are slow and hard to trace.

Long payment cycles

Royalty settlement commonly stretches 30 to 60 days or longer after production, which ties up working capital on both sides.

Too many handoffs

A payment passes through operations, revenue accounting, land administration, finance and compliance before an owner sees the money.

Disconnected data

Production volumes, ownership interests, calculations and supporting documents sit in separate systems and spreadsheets.

No visibility for owners

Royalty owners and operators can't track payment status in real time, so questions and disputes grow with production volume.

What Innovo's royalty payment software does

One platform for the full payment run, from the production data in to the audit record out.

Distributions calculated from production

Ownership decks and monthly volumes drive the run, so every royalty and working interest owner is paid from the same source of truth.

Owner payments in one run

Pay dozens or hundreds of interest owners in a single automated run over ACH and other standard rails, instead of manual payment batches.

Reconciliation built in

Purchaser statements are matched to payments as they clear, instead of in a spreadsheet weeks later.

A live view of every pay cycle

See what is committed, paid, unpaid and available for each cycle, without waiting for month-end reports.

Audit trail per owner

Every calculation, payment and settlement event is recorded as a structured, auditable step for accounting and compliance.

Less outsourced back office

Work that usually goes to third-party administrators runs on the platform, so your team keeps control of the run.

Royalty payment software: common questions

What is royalty payment software?

Royalty payment software calculates what each royalty and working interest owner is owed from production and ownership data, pays them, and keeps a record of every payment. It replaces manual calculations, spreadsheet reconciliation and separate payment batches.

What does oil and gas payment software do?

Oil and gas payment software handles the money that moves after production: owner distributions, payments to royalty and working interest owners, and reconciliation against purchaser statements and revenue. Innovo runs these steps on one platform, from calculation to payment to an audit-ready record.

How does Innovo calculate royalty distributions?

Innovo takes production volumes and ownership decks from your existing systems, calculates each owner's share, and reconciles the totals against revenue before the run is paid.

How are royalty owners paid?

Innovo pays interest owners in one automated run over ACH and other standard payment rails, and tracks each payment until it clears.

Can Innovo replace an outsourced royalty administrator?

Work that operators often send to third-party administrators, such as running distributions and reconciling payments, can run on Innovo's platform instead, with an audit trail for every owner.
