The results of capturing and leveraging chemical data at various points along the path of delivery included the elimination of transactional inefficiencies, decreased costs of doing business such as manual administrative burdens, and real-time lease operating expense (LOE) visibility into cash flow. The project, which occurred at approximately 200 locations, included the delivery of several chemicals and services in a 30-day period. As demonstrated by the project, full implementation will result in scalable benefits including: - 95% fewer ticket touches eliminating human approvals - Reduction of service-to-approved-invoice times from an average of 72 days to two - Overall reduction of disputes and the accelerated ability for same-day dispute resolution This Data Gumbo implementation shows that smart contracts backed by an immutable blockchain record can comprehensively and autonomously match invoices using Internet of Things (IoT) and SCADA data, then integrate directly into leading ERP systems. **A Visible Advantage: Real-Time LOE** Smart business decisions based on operational cost and individual asset profitability are hindered by a lack of visibility into spending caused by payment delays, disputes and complicated reconciliations. Instead of relying on estimates while expenses are stuck in manual paper ticket workflows or long invoicing cycles, GumboNet taps existing operational field data to aggregate exact information and measurements, supplying continuous visibility into actual spend for real-time LOE and easier financial health management. “Real-time LOE is an imperative for oil and gas companies,” said Andrew Bruce, Founder and CEO, Data Gumbo. "The project’s successful implementation demonstrates that real-time LOE is a realistic business expectation that enables a company to know their financial position at all times using real data.” Share on: [Share on Twitter](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?url=https://media.datagumbo.com/en/texas-oil-gas-operator-automates-production-chemical-delivery-with-data-gumbo&text=I+found+this+interesting+blog+post) [Share on Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=https://media.datagumbo.com/en/texas-oil-gas-operator-automates-production-chemical-delivery-with-data-gumbo) [Share on LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https://media.datagumbo.com/en/texas-oil-gas-operator-automates-production-chemical-delivery-with-data-gumbo) You may also like ![](https://media.datagumbo.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Blockchain%20Illustration%201_O%26G%20Blue%20(1).png?width=630&name=Blockchain%20Illustration%201_O%26G%20Blue%20(1).png) ![](https://media.datagumbo.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Blockchain%20Illustration%201_O%26G%20Blue%20(1).png?width=630&name=Blockchain%20Illustration%201_O%26G%20Blue%20(1).png) Data Gumbo Enables Real-Time LOE for Oil & Gas Operators ![](https://media.datagumbo.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Water%20Haulage%20Pilot%20Illustration_Print.jpg?width=630&name=Water%20Haulage%20Pilot%20Illustration_Print.jpg) ![](https://media.datagumbo.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Water%20Haulage%20Pilot%20Illustration_Print.jpg?width=630&name=Water%20Haulage%20Pilot%20Illustration_Print.jpg) Data Gumbo Awarded Blockchain Pilot Contract for Water Haulage [![Data Gumbo Logo](https://8433262.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/8433262/hubfs/DataGumbo_logo_final_darkText.png?width=150&height=59&name=DataGumbo_logo_final_darkText.png "Data Gumbo Logo")](https://www.datagumbo.com/) [Data Gumbo Corporation 600 Travis Street Suite 5050 Houston, Texas 77002](https://goo.gl/maps/FKnPG5Rhzg9ZQuie6) ##### Platform - [BaaS](https://media.datagumbo.com/platform#baas) - [Smart Contracts](https://media.datagumbo.com/platform#smart-contracts) - [Network Effect](https://media.datagumbo.com/platform#network-effect) - [Security & Compliance](https://media.datagumbo.com/platform#security) - [ESG Reporting](https://www.datagumbo.com/platform/esg-reporting) ##### Resources - [Blog](https://blog.datagumbo.com/en/gumbonet-blog) - [Press](https://media.datagumbo.com/en) - [Resources](https://www.datagumbo.com/resource-library) - [Knowledge Base](https://knowledgebase.datagumbo.com/knowledge) ##### Let's Connect - [Book a Demo](https://www.datagumbo.com/book-demo) - [Login](https://demo.datagumbo.com/login) - [Support](https://knowledgebase.datagumbo.com/knowledge) - [Contact Us](https://www.datagumbo.com/contact-us) - [info@datagumbo.com](mailto:info@datagumbo.com) [Follow us on Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/datagumbo/) [Follow us on LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/data-gumbo/) [Follow us on Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/datagumbo/) [Follow us on Twitter](https://twitter.com/datagumbo) © 2026 All rights reserved. | [Privacy Policy](https://media.datagumbo.com/privacy-policy)
