React Fueling partners with organisations across multiple industries. Our responsive team and adaptable solutions have supported large-scale builds, remote operations and emergency responses throughout Texas. Below are four recent projects that highlight how we deliver when it matters most
Background: In late August a Category 3 hurricane threatened the Gulf Coast. A leading Houston hospital complex needed to ensure its backup generators could run continuously for several days if the grid failed. The facility’s administrators contacted React Fueling after hearing about our rapid response capabilities from other health providers. With thousands of patients and critical care equipment on the line, any fuel interruption could have been catastrophic.
Challenge: The hospital’s generators could consume up to 95 gallons of diesel per hour at full load. Hospital engineers estimated that a sustained outage could require more than 6,000 gallons of fuel each day. Adding to the complexity, coastal flooding threatened to cut off normal delivery routes. Competing providers promised deliveries within 1–8 hours, but hospital leadership sought a partner with proven emergency experience.
Solution: React Fueling conducted a pre-storm audit of the hospital’s fuel storage and generator capacities. We mobilised two of our largest 990-gallon TransCube tanks to the hospital parking structure and equipped them with remote monitoring devices so our dispatchers could track levels in real time. As the storm approached, our drivers pre-positioned additional 500-gallon cubes along elevated routes and delivered over 4,000 gallons of diesel before roads flooded.
Outcome: When high winds toppled power lines the next day, the hospital transitioned seamlessly to generator power. Over the following 72 hours, React Fueling’s team delivered multiple fuel drops while navigating debris-strewn roads. Our monitoring system alerted us when tanks reached 50%, allowing us to schedule refills without interrupting medical operations. Post-storm, hospital administrators praised our “around-the-clock professionalism” and noted that no patient services were interrupted. This project demonstrates our ability to combine pre-planning, remote monitoring and flexible logistics to support critical infrastructure during disasters.
Background: An exploration company operating in the Permian Basin contacted React Fueling for a multi-well drilling program. Their rig power units and fracking pumps required steady diesel supply, yet the nearest fuel station was over 50 miles away. Disruptions would cost tens of thousands of dollars per hour in lost production. They needed a partner that could deliver bulk fuel and reposition storage tanks as the rigs relocated across the lease.
Challenge: The remote location and rough terrain meant traditional fuel trucks could not always access the drill pads. Additionally, the operator’s consumption varied widely depending on drilling stage, making it difficult to forecast needs. Safety and environmental protection were also paramount – any spills would trigger regulatory scrutiny and cleanup costs. Competitors touted their nationwide reach and 24/7 supply solutions, but the client wanted a locally owned company with intimate knowledge of West Texas.
Solution: React Fueling deployed a combination of trailer-mounted fuel cells and 750-gallon cubes to the lease. These tanks feature double-wall construction and integrated spill containment, meeting environmental requirements. Our drivers used off-road capable trucks to deliver fuel and reposition tanks as rig locations changed. We equipped each tank with spiral gauges and telemetry ports, allowing real-time consumption tracking. Based on usage data we established a service plan that delivered fuel every 36 hours, with on-demand drops during high-consumption stages. The operator appreciated how quickly we could reposition tanks thanks to four-way forklift pockets and lifting eyes.
Outcome: Over the six-month campaign, React Fueling delivered more than 400,000 gallons of diesel without a single runout or environmental incident. The customer reported that our proactive monitoring helped them avoid costly idle time and that our local presence made communication seamless. When a winter storm caused regional supply shortages, we leveraged our relationships to source fuel from outside the basin and kept the rigs operating. This project underscores our ability to serve demanding industrial clients with tailored logistics and responsive service plans.
Background: A consortium of contractors was tasked with widening a major interstate highway through the Dallas-Fort Worth area. The project required dozens of excavators, paving machines and light towers working day and night. Because work zones shifted along the corridor, on-site fuel storage had to be mobile and secure. The general contractor selected React Fueling due to our reputation for rapid delivery and competitive pricing.
Challenge: With crews working around the clock, running out of fuel would halt progress and delay lane reopenings. Traffic congestion and night-time closures complicated delivery routing. The contractor also needed to track fuel usage by subcontractor to allocate costs accurately. National providers advertise advanced fuel tracking and zero downtime; we needed to demonstrate similar capabilities while providing local responsiveness.
Solution: We positioned multiple 500- and 750-gallon TransCube tanks along the right-of-way. Each tank’s lockable equipment cabinet housed metered pumps linked to RFID readers, allowing operators to record usage per vehicle. Thanks to the tanks’ stackable corner brackets and forklift pockets, our team could quickly relocate them as work advanced. Our dispatch center used live traffic data to plan overnight deliveries, and our telematics system alerted us when any tank dropped below 30%. We also provided weekly usage reports that the contractor used to allocate fuel costs to subcontractors.
Outcome: The project finished ahead of schedule, partly because crews never waited for fuel. Our ability to navigate congested urban corridors, deliver after hours and reposition tanks prevented delays. The contractor praised the transparency of our reporting and noted that our competitive rates helped them stay on budget. This case study illustrates how React Fueling pairs modern equipment with responsive service to support complex urban infrastructure projects.
Background: In a remote corner of West Texas, a renewable energy developer constructed a large battery storage facility and solar array. While the primary goal was to generate clean energy, the site relied on diesel generators during commissioning and for backup power. Cellular service was spotty and the nearest town was over an hour away. The project manager sought a fuel partner that could supply bulk diesel, provide portable storage and monitor consumption remotely.
Challenge: The site’s isolation made it difficult to predict delivery times or communicate changes. High winds and dust storms created additional hazards for fuel transfers. The client also wanted to reduce their carbon footprint by optimising fuel efficiency. They considered working with national providers who promised cutting-edge fuel tracking, but ultimately preferred a regional partner with deep knowledge of local conditions.
Solution: React Fueling delivered a 990-gallon trailer-mounted fuel cell to act as the central reservoir. The tank’s removable inner chamber allowed for thorough cleaning and inspection, and its double-wall design prevented leaks. We paired this with smaller 350- and 500-gallon cubes placed at various points around the project. To improve efficiency, we implemented the fuel consumption formula (consumption = load × specific fuel consumption) to calculate expected usage at different load levels, advising the client on generator settings that would reduce consumption. We also installed monitoring devices that transmitted data via satellite to our dispatch center, ensuring consistent communication.
Outcome: During the six-month commissioning phase, React Fueling performed over 50 deliveries without a single delay. Our consumption analysis helped the client reduce diesel usage by adjusting generator loads, saving thousands of gallons. When a rare snowstorm temporarily cut off road access, our pre-positioned tanks provided enough reserve fuel for three days, allowing commissioning to continue uninterrupted. This project highlights how we adapt to challenging environments by combining portable fuel solutions, remote monitoring and data-driven advice.
