We are pleased to welcome a new member to the team.

Tony Bourne Joins us from Murphy Sarawak Oil Corp as a Measurement Consultant.

Tony has over 25 years experience in the Oil and Gas industry, specialising in Flow Measurement. Having worked with most major companies worldwide, supporting operators and contractors supervise gas and oil metering projects from the design stage through to normal operations.

Since its launch in October, FM²P^®.net has proved to be extremely popular and we have delivered a large number of new installations and product upgrades.  

KELTON^® Managing Director, Gilbert M Tonner says; 

“FM²P^®.net represents a huge investment by KELTON^® to provide the industry with Management of Measurement software that is flexible, affordable easy to install and configure and covers all of the aspects and demands of the modern industry. 

With over 1 million lines of code written for this project so far, we believe that FM²P^®.net delivers the best that our considerable experience can produce and I am confident that we will continue to support our clients with the latest technology in the future. We are a Metering Consultancy that produce software, not a software house that produce metering software. This gives us a very clear understanding of our clients challenges and we have the agility to focus product development accordingly.”

We will be demonstrating our new FM²P®.net Management of Measurement software suite, in addition to providing information and guidance on our range of Consultancy and Audit services.

To arrange a presentation and demonstration, please contact gordon.smith@kelton.co.uk

We are pleased to welcome three new members to the team.

Neil Corbett, joins us from Qatargas as a Measurement Consultant.

Neil is an  Allocation engineer with over 16 years experience of oil and gas metering systems in the UK and overseas.

Prior to career in Allocation worked in a variety of Instrumentation roles.

Craig Coull, joins us from Metco as a Measurement Consultant

Over 15 years’ experience in the Oil and Gas industry, specialising in Instrumentation and Flow Measurement.  Craig has published a number of conference papers and reports on the performance and application of ultrasonic flowmetering technology. Since 2005 he was employed as a Measurement Consultant with Metco Services Ltd.  In this role he provided a range of contract consultancy and audit services to a wide range of oil and gas companies. Between 1999 and 2005 Craig worked at TUVNEL as a Project Engineer, specialising in Ultrasonic Flow Measurement research, leading the technical content of several flow programme projects.

Mike Will, joins us from Petrofac as a Senior Metering Engineer

A Metering Engineer with a proven track record of both fiscal and allocation/flare metering systems. Experience of working with various flow computers and associated supervisory systems. Experience of measurement systems including but not exclusive turbine meter prover systems, Coriolis master meter systems, ultrasonic meters, orifice meters, magflow meters and associated secondary instrumentation.

All our applications have been brought together with additional functionality, common database and new applications to create FM²P^®.net. This represents the next generation in software for Management of Measurement encompassing, as it does, all of the major functions associated with the Management of Measurement.

Powerful Unit Conversion Application

Based on the latest technology, while being compatible with Windows XP, VISTA and WIN 7. FM²P^®.net takes the concept of distributed installation and global access to address the requirements of modern corporations. IT considerations have been afforded particular attention, the FM²P^®.net system is database agnostic and can be deployed stand alone, server based or network distributed. Using our enterprise edition, users can access FM²P^®.net installations worldwide for the purpose of management and reporting. Security issues have been given attention, and FM²P^®.net can import user groups in order to simplify user login procedures.

Each of the applications have been updated following consultation with the industry to make certain that he functionality is intuitive, comprehensive and relevant to the process.
