In 2016, Blackbeard Operating implemented IFS Excalibur (formerly P2 Excalibur) as its Oil Gas and Chemicals ERP.

In 2016 Blackbeard Operating implemented DocVue Oil & Gas Document as its Document Management platform to support Accounts Payable processing and vendor document control. DocVue Oil & Gas Document was positioned to centralize invoice coding, approval routing, and document retention for the company’s accounting function.

Operational coverage focused on the Midland, Texas accounting office with an Accounting Clerk executing the day to day activities between December 2016 and February 2018, including invoice scanning, vendor onboarding via MSA paperwork and setup, insurance verification, and expense report processing. The deployment also supported related operational data handling, with production entries recorded in eVin and utility and other month end data maintained in spreadsheets, reflecting Document Management integration with broader accounts payable and production recordkeeping workflows.
