Track your budget through time or costs
Every report you need — configured your way, always up to date.
Tracked hours flow straight into a polished invoice — no copy-paste, no manual math.
Oil and gas time tracking is for crews, supervisors, and back-office teams that need a clean record of labor by site, shift, trade, work order, and cost code. A roustabout, driver, mechanic, service unit operator, or drill operator may work across locations where the same day includes travel, setup, productive work, and non-productive waiting time.
The practical outcome is a time record that payroll, project controls, and finance can use without rebuilding the day from texts or spreadsheets. For covered nonexempt workers under the FLSA, employer records must include hours worked each workday and total hours worked each workweek, along with wage records. The FLSA does not require one specific timekeeping format.
A useful oil and gas time entry names the worker, date, shift, location, trade, task or work order, hours, and rate category. Time-and-materials work often also needs a Labor, Equipment, and Material record, or LEM, because the LEM supports client billing and invoice approval by connecting labor, equipment, and materials to the job.
Cost structure matters because field work rarely maps to one flat bucket. Oil and gas LEM processes can reference work orders, work breakdown structures, cost centers, internal orders, labor rates, and vendor equipment or material codes. A filled entry might show 10 hours for a mechanic on a compressor repair work order, with the labor trade and site code tied to the client invoice package.
Oil and gas teams use time data for more than attendance. Project controls may compare mobilization plans with actual mobilizations, review productive and non-productive hours, route weekly reports to discipline leads, and reflect approved hours against budgets. A single total for the week hides the pattern that supervisors need to manage crews and costs.
Shift length and travel context deserve special attention. NIOSH notes that oil and gas workers often drive long distances to remote well sites, and long trips combined with long shifts can increase fatigue. NIOSH also identifies crashes as the leading cause of death for oil and gas extraction workers, so fatigue-relevant time records support operational review as well as payroll and billing.
A free time tracking tool is enough when you need a weekly total, a one-off LEM backup, or a quick record for a small job. It works best when one person enters time, one approver checks it, and the record does not need ongoing links to budgets, payroll review, or client invoice status.
A managed workflow becomes necessary when crews work across sites, trades, shifts, and cost codes every week. Everhour Time Tracking lets teams capture task and project hours through timers or manual entries, then send those hours into timesheets, reports, budgets, invoices, and payroll review. Admins can use approvals, locked periods, reminders, and timer rules to keep field records consistent.

Oil and gas teams should track the worker, date, site, shift, trade, task or work order, cost code, hours, and rate category. Time-and-materials work also needs labor detail that supports the LEM, especially when client billing depends on approved labor, equipment, and material records.
A LEM records labor, equipment, and materials used on a job, then supports billing and invoice approval. Time tracking supplies the labor portion: who worked, where they worked, how long they worked, and which work order, cost center, or WBS element the hours belong to.
The FLSA requires covered employers to keep accurate records for nonexempt workers, but it does not require a particular time clock, app, paper form, or system. Records must include hours worked each workday and total hours worked each workweek for employees covered by the FLSA minimum wage or overtime provisions.
Time records should separate the hours that payroll, billing, and operations need to review, such as shift time, site work, travel-related time, and non-productive waiting time when those categories matter to the employer's policy, contract, or job costing process. NIOSH's fatigue guidance makes shift length and travel context operationally relevant for oil and gas teams.
Under the federal FLSA baseline, covered nonexempt employees must receive overtime pay for hours worked over 40 in a fixed 168-hour workweek at not less than 1.5 times the regular rate. Hours may not be averaged across two or more workweeks for FLSA overtime purposes.
Everhour Time Tracking captures task and project hours through live timers or manual entries, so field and office teams can record hours against the right job. Those entries feed timesheets, reporting, budgeting, invoicing, and payroll review, with admin controls for approvals, locked periods, reminders, and timer behavior.
Everhour Reporting turns logged time, budgets, costs, and project data into configurable reports. Teams can group and filter by project details, use columns such as member, project, client, billable time, labor costs, budget metrics, and invoice status, then export reports in CSV, Excel/XLSX, or PDF.
Track field hours by task, project, and approval status before they reach payroll review or invoices. Everhour gives oil and gas teams cleaner time records for budgets, billing, and operational reporting.
