Managing chemical consumption tanks in the oilfield has long been a challenge—balancing cost, efficiency, and safety while ensuring tanks never run dry. But what if you could optimize your delivery routes, reduce trucking costs, and maximize load utilization?
Our recent webinar showcased the launch of Route Optimization for Chemical Consumption Tanks, a new module within our EZ Ops platform that does just that. In this session, Nic Lefebvre, Senior Product Manager at Detechtion, walked us through:
✔ The common challenges in chemical consumption tank management
✔ How route optimization reduces costs and minimizes production disruptions
✔ Real-world results from a field test with a leading producer
✔ A live demo of the EZOps platform and route optimization in action
Producers, field workers, and logistics teams deal with:
🚛 Hundreds of chemical tanks with varying consumption rates
📋 Manual processes (spreadsheets, paperwork) leading to inefficiencies
⚠️ Risk of tanks running dry, causing safety hazards and production delays
💰 Underutilized truckloads, increasing operational costs and emissions
Traditional approaches often lead to higher expenses, compliance risks, and unnecessary site visits.
Our new module within EZ Ops transforms chemical consumption tank management by leveraging AI-guided route optimization. Here’s how it works:
📊 Data-Driven Insights – EZ Ops collects real-time tank level data, consumption rates, and trucking costs.
🚦 Dynamic Route Planning – The system automatically generates the most cost-effective delivery routes.
⏳ Predictive Forecasting – Identifies when and where deliveries are needed before tanks run dry.
📉 Operational Efficiency – Reduces unnecessary trips, lowers fuel costs, and optimizes truck utilization.
In a 6-month field test with a leading producer, the new module delivered:
✅ 20% reduction in trucking costs
✅ 45% better load utilization
✅ Fewer production disruptions and hydrate formations
By ensuring deliveries happen at the right time and optimizing routes, producers have seen significant cost savings and improved operational efficiency.
During the webinar, we demonstrated how EZOps:
