Process Management’s Hydrocarbon and Energy Industry Center
provides comprehensive management services for the operation and maintenance
of gas, liquid, and electrical measurement systems. Our total measurement
management (TMM) solution delivers metering information that is cost
effective, accurate, and timely. |

| The
Challenge |
 |
| Oil
and gas production and pipeline companies require timely and accurate
metering and related production accounting data. This data is critical
to improving bottom-line results, mitigating uncertainty, and optimizing
asset performance. The collection and validation of this data is difficult
if the meters are part of complex measurement systems with multiple
stakeholders. |
| |

with our cost-effective business model ensures that our clients pay
only for valid, timely information. We assume total responsibility
for operating and maintaining fiscal and Total Measurement Management
operations metering. As an objective third party, we handle complex
custody transfer and ownership structures.

Benefits |
|
| |
|
|
| |
The
significant differentiator of the TMM solution is the method that
we use to control costs and ensure accountability. We invoice based
on performance; our results-based contracts are executed through a
rigorous, key performance indicator (KPI) scorecard system. This system
enables our customers to control measurement operations costs by evaluating
our work on a monthly basis. The cost of uncertainty is significant.
Inaccurate measurement may result in erroneous revenues or loss of
credibility among partners and customers. We manage the uncertainly
of risk associated with measurement system performance.
