MEASUREMENT MATTERS
If you need advice on selecting a flow meter for your application
or support with a project for a new
or replacement meter then contact us
We can take care of the technical details for a flow measurement
system and we can produce and review all of the technical
documentation from concept to specification to acceptance
and commission acceptance.
We can manage your stakeholders when presenting proposals,
meter testing and acceptance of new or
modified flow measurement systems.
We ensure that we understand your needs and use our wide
range of experience for solutions which are
both novel and cost effective.
The best flow measurement solution is driven by a number of factors which include the fluid being measured, operating conditions, available space, range of flow rates (turndown), measurement performance requirements, maintenance regime and capital expenditure budgets.
Often more than one type of metering solution may appear suitable so a pragmatic selection process is required. The industry is continually under pressure to reduce expenditure and add value.
We understand the financial drivers when evaluating the options and we know what good looks like. Along with the importance of getting the best performance out of an existing measurement system
However, the lowest price does not always equate to lowest cost. The cheapest available solution may not be the best fit. For a little more expenditure you may be able to procure the best available technology with features such as condition based monitoring which can reduce risk and exposure.
Services provided include:- data flow mapping from primary measurements to reporting ensuring correct measurement and analyser data is captured for use in all reporting.
Ensuring that correct data is handed-off to interfaces to control systems, data historians and hydrocarbon accounting systems.
JK Consulting also offers two distinct production loss reporting solutions, one is a standalone vendor and the other is implemented via Energy Components.
Very few things can be purchased and sold without measurement.
Commercial transactions rely on getting the measurement right
as this is key to protecting your revenue stream.
Provision of experienced support for negotiation, drafting,
review of technical schedules covering:-
Pipeline operating agreements
Joint operating agreements
Allocation agreements
LNG cargo agreements (FOB & DES).
JK Consulting can provide risk/exposure assessments which includes updated uncertainties for measurements and allocation processes (including production derived by difference) as required by third parties and regulators.
In addition, scope also covers agreements covering measurement/analysis for both gas distribution network entry points and offtakes.
If you have discrepancies in the measured or reported figures, then JK Consulting can investigate the issue and assist with measurement/allocation dispute resolution.
Reporting of mis-measurements, discrepancies and mis allocations for third parties to agree findings and proposed solution.
Commercial teams commit resources into negotiating the operational agreements with partners and pipeline operators. When these agreements are in place, the assumption is that the business gets the oil and gas purchased.
The assumption is that all of the issues and exposures are known. However, like an iceberg, there may be hidden underlying issues which have yet to be discovered.
The lack of contract management can lead to loss
of revenue due to lack of compliance with the agreements and lack of enforcement.
Operators need to ensure reputation is maintained through independent compliance audits of custody transfer measurements and hydrocarbon accounting. The audits are carried out versus commercial and regulatory requirements with extensive knowledge of applicable standards and regulatory frameworks. These audits can include validation of oil/gas quality determination and sampling in addition to flow meter performance.
JK Consulting provides assessment of EU ETS reporting and compliance.
The experience and expertise from JK Consulting and its associates means we can provide project engineering and management for the whole life cycle and ongoing operational support. JK Consulting provides guidance on the meter selection for challenging applications such as subsea installations, wet gas and multi-phase flow measurement. Recent work on projects includes Phoenix, Platypus and SHARP
JK Consulting provides support for all aspects of brownfield and greenfield projects and provides support from concept development right through to testing/acceptance, commissioning and sign-off by partners, operators and regulators.
JK Consulting can assist with the integration of custody transfer measurements and production reporting systems from field measurements through to allocation system and reporting.
JK Consulting can develop and improve processes for production reporting to third parties such as partners and regulatory authorities. This includes daily reports, allocation reporting, dispensations, deviations and audit action tracking.
JK Consulting can provide expert support for all stages of the flow measurement system life cycle
