ABOUT
FUEL AUTOMATION STATION
The original innovator in automated fuel distribution, holding 25 proprietary patents. Its precision-engineered systems deliver unmatched efficiency, safety, and real-time insights to supply sites. The company's technology is capable of keeping 32 frac pumps fueled at once, with 100% uptime.
| Fuel Automation Station was built from a simple but powerful idea: frac fueling could be safer, smarter, and more efficient.
Before FAS, fueling equipment on active frac sites was a slow, manual, and labor-intensive process. Operators were required to move fuel through busy work sites, coordinate refueling around active heavy machinery, and respond to changing fuel demands in real time. The process created safety risks, required significant manpower, and left room for delays, inefficiencies, and fuel-related disruptions.
For many companies, these challenges were accepted as part of the job.
FAS was created because one team saw a better way forward.
The idea began within Atlas Oil, one of the nation’s leading fuel supply and logistics companies, where an engineer in Victoria, Texas identified an opportunity to rethink how frac fueling was being done. Instead of treating fueling as a series of separate manual refueling events, he envisioned a centralized, multi-hose fueling system capable of supplying multiple pieces of equipment at the same time.
The concept was designed to serve as a hub for the frac site. It would remain connected to multiple pumps simultaneously, continuously monitor fuel levels, and automatically distribute fuel where it was needed most. In practice, it would transform frac fueling from a reactive manual process into a coordinated, automated operation.
When the idea was presented to Atlas Oil Founder, Chairman, and CEO Sam Simon, it quickly became more than a concept. Together, Sam and the engineer spent time at a whiteboard sketching the early blueprint for what would become Fuel Automation Station. Atlas funded the project and supported the engineering effort required to bring the technology to life.
What began as an internal innovation has since grown into an independent technology company within the Simon Group Holdings portfolio. That foundation gives FAS a unique advantage: our technology was not created in isolation. It was built, tested, and refined in real fueling environments, alongside the operators and customers it was designed to support.
Today, Fuel Automation Station holds more than 25 patents and has become a proven solution for automated fuel delivery, monitoring, and control in demanding field environments. The system is deployed across Atlas Oil’s frac fueling operations and has helped customers improve efficiency, reduce fuel-related disruptions, and gain greater visibility into fueling performance.
FAS now captures more than 500,000 data points each day, giving operators real-time insight into fuel levels, system performance, and field activity. With advanced monitoring, remote diagnostics, and support designed around uptime, FAS helps energy teams operate with greater confidence in high-pressure environments where reliability matters.
Our technology was built in the field, shaped by real operational challenges, and refined through years of hands-on experience. That foundation continues to guide how we approach innovation today.
At FAS, we believe the best solutions come from questioning the way things have always been done. We design technology that helps customers reduce manual processes, improve safety, strengthen operational control, and keep critical field operations moving.
What began as one engineer’s idea has evolved into a patented fueling automation platform built to serve the modern energy industry.
Fuel Automation Station exists to help operators fuel smarter, work safer, and stay ahead of the demands of the field.
