How Audit Checklists Aided Oil & Gas Regulatory Compliance

audit-checklist-(1)

Discover how comprehensive digital audit checklists transformed oil & gas operations, eliminated critical regulatory violations, and achieved industry-leading compliance performance  through systematic inspection protocols and predictive compliance management across challenging energy sector environments.

Client Overview

A major oil & gas production company operating across Texas, North Dakota, and Colorado with a fleet of 420 heavy equipment units including drilling rigs, fracking equipment, transport trucks, and support machinery. This integrated energy operation manages 85 active well sites with production targets of 125,000 barrels daily across 4,800 acres of leased territory. With stringent EPA, OSHA, and  DOT compliance requirements and zero-tolerance environmental policies, this energy company faced mounting pressure to eliminate regulatory violations while maintaining production efficiency in demanding field conditions.

The Challenge

This oil & gas operation was experiencing frequent regulatory violations and compliance failures that threatened operational licenses and devastated profit margins. Their paper-based audit systems couldn't provide real-time visibility into regulatory conditions, leaving critical compliance issues undetected until inspection failures or regulatory penalties occurred. Without systematic digital tracking, compliance teams had no way to identify developing violations before they became costly regulatory actions.

Critical Regulatory Compliance Issues:
  • 18 regulatory violations in previous 24 months across EPA, OSHA, and DOT agencies
  • Regulatory penalty costs totaling $485,000 annually
  • Manual audit compliance averaging only 67%
  • Critical equipment violations causing 240 hours monthly operational delays
  • No real-time visibility into fleet-wide compliance conditions
  • Paper audit records creating 10-day reporting delays to regulatory agencies
  • Inconsistent audit quality across four operational shifts
  • Unable to predict compliance failures before regulatory inspections
  • Insurance premiums increasing 28% due to violation history
  • Production delays from unexpected regulatory shutdown orders

If your oil & gas operation is facing similar regulatory challenges, compliance risks, or costly violations, explore our digital audit solutions to achieve zero-violation compliance and protect your operational licenses.
