The Oilfield Service Contractors Fix Kit
Built for oilfield service contractors and oil and gas service companies.
You don't lose money in this business because a rate was too low — you lose it because a signed field ticket, a rate schedule, an invoice, and a remittance stopped matching each other somewhere along the way, and nobody was checking. This kit finds where the money leaks in your own work and gives you the steps and the words to close each one.

The 6 leaks it covers
2 you can close it · 2 the other side owes it · 2 a pro decides
- Contracted standby and mobilization quietly absorbed when the market slowsWhere to look first: Pull the last three months of signed field tickets and the rate schedule from your MSA.Keep it from coming back: Every contracted line goes on every invoice. If you waive one, show it as a zero line so it's a choice, not a habit.You can close it
- No fuel or input-cost escalation clause, so cost spikes are eaten on every ticketWhere to look first: Read your MSA and rate sheet for any fuel surcharge, escalation or 'cost adjustment' language.Keep it from coming back: No MSA or rate sheet without a fuel/input-cost adjustment line. Re-check your consumables prices against your own receipts every quarter.You can close it
- No four-document match (signed ticket, MSA rate, invoice, remittance)Where to look first: For your next ticket, lay out four things side by side: the signed field ticket, the MSA rate schedule, your invoice, and the remittance advice when payment comes.Keep it from coming back: Run the four-document match on every ticket before the invoice goes out and again when payment lands. A payment isn't final until it matches.The other side owes it
- Mineral lien deadline runs out (or was waived in the MSA) before the contractor actsWhere to look first: For every job, write down the last day you furnished labor, material or services on that lease or well. That date usually starts the lien clock.Keep it from coming back: Log the last day of work on every job and put the lien deadline on the calendar the same day — even when you expect to be paid.The other side owes it
- Boilerplate 'look solely and exclusively' clause may waive lien rights before work startsWhere to look first: Search every MSA you've signed for the words 'solely and exclusively', 'look only to', 'waive' and 'lien'.Keep it from coming back: Search every new MSA for waiver language before you sign. Know which customers you're working for without a lien to fall back on.A pro decides
- MSA indemnity clause signed without checking the work state's anti-indemnity lawWhere to look first: Pull every MSA you're working under and find the indemnity section.Keep it from coming back: No MSA signed or renewed until the indemnity section has been read against the state where the work happens.A pro decides

No sign-up, no email. Here is leak 1 of 6 exactly as it appears in the kit, so you can see what you get before you buy.
Contracted standby and mobilization quietly absorbed when the market slows
You can close it- Pull the last three months of signed field tickets and the rate schedule from your MSA.
- For each ticket, check that every contracted line — standby, mobilization, demobilization, consumables — made it onto the invoice.
- Mark any line you waived on purpose as 'goodwill' and any you just didn't bill as 'missed'.
- Bill the missed lines that are still recent, with the signed ticket attached.
- From now on, if you decide to waive a charge, write it on the invoice as a zero-dollar line so the customer sees what you gave — and you can see the pattern.
Your part: Approve the invoice and send it yourself.
Email to the operator's accounts payable or company man, with the ticket attached: Subject: Ticket [TICKET #] — contracted lines not yet invoiced Hi [NAME], On ticket [TICKET #] for [WELL / LEASE] dated [DATE], the signed ticket shows [standby / mobilization / LINE ITEM] that I didn't include on invoice [INVOICE #]. Under the rate schedule in our MSA dated [DATE], that line is billed at [RATE FROM YOUR SCHEDULE]. I've attached the signed ticket and a supplemental invoice [SUPPLEMENTAL INVOICE #]. Please let me know if you need anything else to process it. Thank you, [YOUR NAME] [YOUR COMPANY] · [PHONE]
Every contracted line goes on every invoice. If you waive one, show it as a zero line so it's a choice, not a habit.
What this kit can't decide for you: No market forecast is used. Whether a past waived line can still be billed depends on your MSA and the customer; we don't say it is owed.
That's 1 of 6. The other 5 come the same way in the kit: steps, words to send, a habit to keep each one closed.

What people in this work look up
When oilfield service contractors go looking for answers, they search things like “how to start an oilfield service company”, “oilfield service company”, “oilfield trucking”, “field ticket” and “msa oil and gas”. Those searches turn up forms, averages and other people's numbers. This kit starts from your own records instead: the 6 places money leaks in this work, where to look first and the words to send to close each one.
What you get for each leak
- Numbered steps to close each leak
- Your part, spelled out
- Words you can use: letters and scripts, ready to send (fill in the brackets)
- A habit that keeps each leak from coming back
- An honest line on what the kit can't decide for you

Questions people ask
How do I make sure field tickets get paid?
Match four documents: signed ticket, MSA rate, invoice and remittance. The kit shows how.
Can I bill standby and mobilization when the market slows?
Contracted standby often gets quietly absorbed. The kit shows what to bill.
Did my MSA waive my lien rights?
Some boilerplate clauses can. The kit flags what to bring to an attorney.
What it can't decide for you
This kit works from your own records. It doesn't give legal, tax, licensing or financial advice, and it never tells you what to charge. Where a CPA, attorney, insurer or state board makes the call, the kit says so and gets your records ready for them.
