Managing Remediation Budgets Within 1%: How Karve Energy Uses Matidor to Track Every Dollar in the Field

Every site in the rem/rec stage is now entered into Matidor, along with a complete record of what has been done and what stage of reclamation it currently sits at. The team can refer to any site and immediately see all associated pictures, files, and activity history in one place.

This replaced the previous workflow of digging through files or visiting sites multiple times just to confirm current status. Day-to-day coordination with consultants is now visible and manageable through Matidor's project management tools, and the team can see activity as it happens rather than waiting for updates to be compiled and sent.

Budget tracking is now a live, daily process. Consultants are expected to enter costs into Matidor each day. The sustainability team pulls costs daily to monitor how close each project is to its budget — which is critical given the mandatory spend obligations Karve operates under.

Before Matidor, this level of oversight required spreadsheets and constant manual updates from the field. The process was reactive. Now it is proactive.

In oil and gas remediation and reclamation, mandatory spend requirements mean that staying within budget is not just a best practice; it is an operational necessity. Karve cannot be significantly over or under their targets, and that precision requires current data, not end-of-month reports.

With consultants entering costs into Matidor daily, the Karve team has a live view of where each project stands against budget at any given moment. That visibility allows the team to make timely, informed decisions about how the program is tracking, and adjust as needed before issues compound.

The result is a level of financial control that was not possible when the team was relying on spreadsheets and field updates. As the team puts it, Matidor has enabled Karve to be "able to manage our budget within 1%."
