Oil Leaks and Revenue Leaks

By Eric Priezkalns 25 Feb 2008

As well as discussing telecoms revenue assurance, I seem to have an occasional series of posts about how revenue assurance has become a phrase used to represent similar activities in quite different industries. Previous posts have identified airlines, banks and even governments as unexpected converts to the revenue assurance philosophy. Now we can add the oil industry. According to this article from Oil Online, revenue assurance can be applied “from wellhead to sales points”. I guess that might be the oil equivalent of from switch to bill… ;)
