Several years ago, when the gas and oil markets were struggling, we realized that if the fueling could be automated, it could be done more quickly and safely. We analyzed possible alternatives to the manual operation of re-fueling and arrived at a brilliant solution.
That solution was Fuel Automation Station (FAS), originally designed for completions owners who have the need for fuel automation and performance analytics, but now provides automated fueling solutions for industries like Marine Fueling, Data Centers, and Emergency Response. FAS provides the only End-to-End Ground to Cloud connected fluid automation station that delivers surety of fuel supply, production efficiencies and proactive safety systems unlike traditional tank wagons and ground only fuelers. FAS is a single unit with up to 28 fuel hoses connected to the drilling equipment, with sensors on the hoses reading in real time what is being dispensed and fuel levels in each piece of equipment. Beyond the time saved not connecting and re-connecting hoses, the benefits are that FAS takes safety to a whole new level. It does not require a person to be in the hot zone to refuel. Fuel trucks or tanks are parked away from the fracking operation and input and output hoses are fixed to the site equipment ensuring a consistent supply of fuel with no fuel related downtime. The unit can dispense multiple types of fuel and provides instant operational savings, as well as increased ease and speed of transactions.
