We bring vast experience in the Oil and Gas industry.
History
Based in Houston, Texas, EnergyByte started in 2002 working with our first customer implementing SAP Production and Revenue Accounting (SAP PRA). This marked the first go live of SAP PRA for an exploration and production company. We have a history of leadership in accounting and IT in the Oil and Gas industry. Since the original development started in 1999, we've played an integral role in the design, development and implementation of SAP PRA.
We've played a key role in SAP PRA implementations, from the first implementation of SAP PRA to a recent large scale implementation of SAP PRA 2.0 (Roadmap) and S/4 HANA. We have extensive experience with upstream Oil and Gas business processes and understand the importance of delivering timely and accurate payments to royalty owners, partners and regulatory authorities while managing the financials of an Oil and Gas company. We’ve played a key role in implementing SAP PRA for the first purchaser business of a refining and marketing company.
In September 2018, EnergyByte introduced EnergyByte Solutions, focused on delivering SAP products to the Oil and Gas industry.
At that time we became an SAP PartnerEdge development partner.
