This paper summarizes the case history of the implementation of VeriTrax, a fully integrated chemical delivery and data management system. This is a computerized system that automates the processes involved in the provision of production chemicals, allowing for increased accuracy of chemical usage and tank levels for operators, and increased efficacy of chemical delivery and billing through a fully integrated SAP-based system. The Operator and Clariant Oil Services worked together to create VeriTrax, which optimized performance by eliminating manual input into both the Operator's and Clariant Oil Services" SAP systems. Complete details are given in the paper on the three components of VeriTrax: a global positioning system (GPS), a computer interface and a smart meter. When a delivery is made using VeriTrax, the GPS immediately identifies the well based on the location and the smart meter records the amount of product dispensed and sends this information into SAP.
