Description

This form is for approval of costs and expenses. Bexar Texas Authorization For Expenditure (AFE) is a document used in the oil and gas industry to obtain approval for budgeted expenses related to drilling operations, production, or other activities related to oil and gas exploration and production. It is a crucial process that ensures financial control and accountability. The AFE serves as a formal request for funding, providing detailed information about the estimated costs, projected timeline, and expected benefits. This allows stakeholders, such as management, investors, and partners, to review and assess the proposed expenditure before making a decision. Keywords: Bexar Texas, Authorization For Expenditure, AFE, oil and gas industry, drilling operations, production activities, exploration, financial control, accountability, funding request, estimated costs, projected timeline, expected benefits, management, investors, partners. Different types of Bexar Texas Authorization For Expenditure — "AFE": 1. Drilling AFE: This type of AFE focuses on the expenses related to drilling operations, including the cost of hiring drilling rigs, equipment, personnel, and materials required for successful drilling.
