E&P Operator Automates 500+ Wells in Eagle Ford Shale
The Challenge
A major E&P operator in the Eagle Ford Shale was managing chemical injection across 500+ wells using manual data collection. Field technicians drove hundreds of miles daily to check tank levels and pump rates, resulting in missed treatments, excessive chemical waste, and safety exposure from frequent site visits. With no real-time visibility, problems were discovered hours or days after they occurred, leading to corrosion damage and production losses.
The Solution
WellAware deployed Scout devices across the entire field to provide real-time tank level monitoring and chemical usage estimation. Battery or wired sensors with flexible deployment eliminated the need for infrastructure at remote locations. WellAware AI detected anomalies like leaks, airlocks, and sensor drift automatically, alerting operators before issues escalated. The operator gained full visibility into every tank and treatment point from a single dashboard.
The win came from collapsing discovery time, not adding more labor.
This operation changed because the team no longer had to wait on physical rounds to discover a missed treatment, airlock, or empty tank.
Blind spots shrank from route-based discovery to live visibility.
Site visits became exception work instead of the default operating model.
The team could spend time on interventions that mattered instead of routine checks.
Without WellAware
Problems stay hidden for weeks until someone finally reaches the site.
