In this case study, Detechtion Technologies implemented the Fieldlink mobile platform to provide digitalized and synchronous chemical management processes to help reduce time to invoice and increase visibility and vendor management. 

The Mission: 

Increase visibility into activity to verify that vendors were visiting sites, validating invoices received for activities and chemical consumption, while managing multiple processes and data formatting from third parties.

 

Background: 

Headquartered in Houston, TX, this international oil and gas exploration and production company has operations in the United States, Middle East and Latin America. It operates through three segments: Oil and Gas, Chemical and Midstream and Marketing. Its Oil and Gas segment explores for, develops and produces oil and condensate, natural gas liquids (NGLs) and natural gas.

The Solution: 

Fieldlink provides these operators (and their 3rd party chemical companies) with a mobile platform to implement consistent chemical management processes for batch treatments (scheduled or ad hoc) and deliveries to continuous tanks. Since all data is entered in Fieldlink in a consistent format, the operators were able to do away with processes needed to manage multiple formats of data coming in. Better decisions on dosing amounts are now possible and there is confidence that chemicals are administered consistently and on schedule.

 

The Impact:

With data now coming in electronically in real time, the Client’s operators have streamlined the invoicing process.

Additionally, milk runs by vendors have been eliminated resulting in signi­ficant chemical cost savings. One operator reduced annual chemical spend by $5 million with Fieldlink being an essential part of that reduction.
