Overhead

WIC Eligibility:

“Overhead” reimbursement is eligible for all Cost Claim activities conducted on or after April 1, 2021. For clarity, overhead includes internal costs such as technical oversight in the office/field and auxiliary costs, such as accounting, payroll, filing, budgets, AFE preparation, human resources, safety, communication and office costs. Therefore, overhead reimbursement will not be eligible for operational work contracted out to a third party.

Overhead reimbursement has been aligned with the OWA’s Working Interest Participant Agreement (WIPA) program and is set at a flat rate of 2.5%. WIPs who are seeking overhead reimbursement can apply these costs directly on the excel summary sheet on a per-license basis. Costs shared with another well or site that is not subject to the cost reimbursement application is not reimbursable unless the proportional cost related to the claim is clearly identifiable on the invoice and ticket
