Q2 Technologies Increases Inventory and Logistical Capabilities Amid the 2022 Hurricane Season

Why Inventory and Logistics Matter During Storm Season

Although the 2022 Hurricane Season has been fairly mild with only five named storms since the first week of September, the recent barrage of 1 in a 1,000 year weather events that has drenched a large swath of the US is proof that the weather systems are not to be trifled with. As a critical supplier of chemical products across the US to our clients in diverse industries, we are taking particular care to reinforce our logistics and product supply chain.
Therefore, Q2 Technologies is pleased to announce our latest logistics initiative of doubling our inventory at or near our Clients’ assets and enhancing our transportation capabilities.

Strategic Steps Q2 Technologies Is Taking

Q2 Technologies serves a wide range of industries including Oil & Gas, landfill biogas, dairy digesters, pulp and paper, and wastewater facilities. In preparation for potential weather disruptions, we’ve built strategic inventory stockpiles at secure facilities to maintain supply even during infrastructure setbacks. Additionally, we’ve enhanced our logistics with trusted partners, effectively doubling our transportation capacity.

Increased Inventory Near Client Sites

Recent heavy rainfall events across the U.S. have reminded us that extreme weather isn’t limited to major hurricanes or tornadoes. Localized storms, often difficult to predict, can also cause significant damage and disruptions.

To ensure reliability during these unpredictable conditions, Q2 Technologies has strengthened its inventory and logistics strategy:

• Preparing for Changing Weather Patterns:
  • The U.S. continues to experience above-normal La Niña effects, which reduce hurricane activity in the Pacific but intensify it in the Atlantic.
  • These conditions point to a potentially wet and active hurricane season extending into late fall.
• Proactive Planning for Clients’ Needs:
  • Q2 Technologies recognizes that producers, midstream operators, refiners, and chemical treatment companies must prepare for recurring severe storms.
  • To ensure uninterrupted operations, our team has implemented a three-step preparedness plan focused on supply, manufacturing, and logistics.
• Secured Raw Material and Product Supply:
  • We’ve procured ample raw materials and increased production to meet additional demand.
  • At least two months’ worth of chemical inventory is strategically staged in West Texas and at multiple coastal facilities near Texas ports.
• Enhanced Transportation and Delivery Capacity:
  • We’ve partnered with multiple trusted trucking and logistics providers.
  • Additional trucking solutions are in place to guarantee product delivery even if routes are disrupted or outages occur.

 
By strengthening our supply chain and logistics infrastructure, Q2 Technologies ensures uninterrupted product availability and dependable H2S removal solutions no matter how challenging the weather becomes.

Ensuring Continuity of H₂S Removal Solutions

We know that weather events can cause driver shortages, road/route closures, and production shut-ins at plants, which makes it extremely difficult to manufacture, deliver, and consequently treat oil and gas production.  Therefore, Q2 Technologies has made the necessary arrangements to plan accordingly so our critical product is available during this uncertain time.

As a trusted chemical provider for our clients, we ensure that sufficient levels of our H2S removal products are securely stored close to our clients’ assets as the 2022 hurricane season continues.

Diverse Packaging and Shipping Solutions

Adaptability is also fundamental, depending on conditions, locations and our clients’ needs, we provide a wide range of different vessel formats, allowing our product to be ready for shipment in containers of all kinds of shapes and sizes: ISOs, Drums, and Totes.



Working at multiple manufacturing sites and being prepared with a fleet of trucks and carriers is critical. Multiple carriers are key for successfully delivering chemical loads. If, for any reason, one is delayed, another one may come to the rescue; partnering with different trucking companies has allowed us in previous years to successfully deliver our product and treat our clients’ crude oil and gas in a regular manner.
