Technical Accomplishments:

Responsible for calibration process engineering required to achieve Federal Government accreditation of the CEESI calibration facilities.

Design and implementation of specialty testing to determine installation effects associated with different flow meter designs. Contributor to API MPMS Chapter 22.2 describing standard method for installation effect testing.

Development and support of a standard test method applied to electronic measurement equipment used for custody transfer. The testing confirms that hardware meets API performance standards.

Provided consulting services to US Bureau of Land Management in the development of a computer based uncertainty calculator for use in custody transfer measurement.

Provided test and consulting services to evaluate and characterize the performance of educators used to enhance oil production based on a high pressure gas energy source.

Proposed a solution based on testing to allow custody transfer measurement of coal bed methane using orifice meters operating outside of the range specified in API standards. The solution was acceptable to both contracting parties and allowed a reduction in the cost of production.

Responsible for testing to determine the effect of small amounts of liquid on the accuracy of orifice flow measurement.

Support of several CEESI clients requiring production calibration services. In such cases the client is seeking reduced cost and faster turnaround while maintaining high quality.
