Introduction
Bedrock Energy Partners is a Texas-based exploration and production (E&P) company specializing in identifying, acquiring, and developing high-potential upstream oil and gas assets. Their operations span multiple well sites across Texas, each requiring chemical treatments managed through tank-level inspections, supplier ordering, and delivery coordination — a workflow that directly impacts production costs and operational efficiency.
But Bedrock had no control over the process that determined how much they spent on chemicals. Tank-level inspections were performed by the chemical supplier — the same supplier who decided what chemicals to order and when. Bedrock had no independent data on actual tank levels, no visibility into whether orders matched requirements, and no ability to verify invoices against real consumption. They needed a field service management platform that could insource the entire chemical inventory workflow — from tank inspection to order placement — and put procurement decisions back in the operator’s hands.
Challenges
- Supplier controlled the data Bedrock paid on. The chemical supplier performed tank-level inspections and decided what to order and when. Bedrock had no independent data to verify requirements or challenge invoices.
- No visibility into actual chemical consumption or tank levels. Without insourced inspections, Bedrock couldn’t see real-time tank data across their well sites. Procurement decisions were based on supplier-reported information they couldn’t validate.
- Chemical spend was uncontrolled and unverifiable. With no control over the ordering process, Bedrock overspent on inventory. Deliveries didn’t match actual needs, and there was no data to prove it.
- No route optimization for tank inspections. Field personnel had no mapped inspection routes. Tank visits were unstructured, consuming unnecessary drive time and leaving some sites uninspected while others were over-visited.
- Volume forecasting ran on guesswork. Without accurate historical data on chemical consumption, Bedrock couldn’t forecast volume requirements or budget chemical costs with confidence for upcoming periods
Solution
FieldEquip deployed a unified chemical inventory management platform for Bedrock Energy Partners — configured to insource their entire tank inspection and ordering workflow and live within weeks. One platform, owned and operated by the team that built it. No third-party integrator. Bedrock went from having zero control over chemical procurement to managing every inspection, order, and delivery from a single system.
Proposed — Capabilities:
- Tank-level inspections insourced to Bedrock’s own field teams. Field personnel now perform inspections with mobile devices, capturing chemical levels by tank across every well site. Independent data replaces supplier-reported numbers.
- Complete tank data accessiblein one platform. Every tank’s location, configuration, chemical type, and current level is available in real time. Data sets downloadable for independent analysis and forecasting.
- Optimizedinspection routes for field personnel. Mapped routing ensures field teams visit every tank site efficiently. Structured routes eliminate wasted drive time and guarantee consistent inspection coverage across all sites.
- Chemical ordering workflow with precise procurement data. Once inspection data confirms chemical requirements, Bedrock submits orders to suppliers with exact quantity and type specified. No guesswork. No over-ordering. Accurate procurement every cycle.
- End-to-end records from inspection through delivery. FieldEquip tracks every tank inspection, chemical order, and supplier delivery. Bedrock compares orders placed against invoices received — ensuring billing accuracy.
- Mobile-first, built for field inspections — online and offline. Tablet-based app works at remote well sites regardless of connectivity. Inspection data syncs automatically when coverage returns.
Result
- Full control of chemical procurement — insourced from supplier dependency. Bedrock went from zero visibility into ordering decisions to managing every chemical requirement based on their own verified field data.
- Chemical overspend eliminated through data-driven ordering. Accurate tank-level inspections by Bedrock’s own teams replaced supplier-controlled purchasing. Orders now match actual consumption — no more over-purchasing or unnecessary deliveries.
- Volume forecasting built on real consumption data. Historical inspection and ordering data enables accurate forecasting of chemical requirements and budgeting. Bedrock plans procurement based on trends, not estimates.
- Supplier invoices verified against actual orders. Complete records from inspection through delivery allow Bedrock to compare orders placed with invoices received. Billing discrepancies identified immediately, strengthening financial control.
- One connected workflow from tank inspection to chemical delivery. Inspections, routing, ordering, and delivery tracking run on a single platform. No disconnected systems. No manual handoffs between stages.
- Configured by the team that built it — tailored to E&P operations. FieldEquip customized the platform for Bedrock’s specific chemical inventory workflow. One team from configuration through ongoing support. No third-party intermediaries.
