Consultancy services for a better tomorrow.
The energy industry is transitioning through one of the most pivotal moments in its history.
There is a growing global demand for safe, reliable and affordable energy. And, at the same time, there is a growing global need for reduced emissions and carbon intensity across all sectors – to be facilitated by new technologies and lower-carbon sources.
This presents a generational challenge, and an opportunity, for organisations, regulators and governments, alike. But it’s not a challenge that any single stakeholder has to pursue alone.

The uncertainty challenge.
It's not just about compliance.
Demonstrating the uncertainty of a measurement system is a contractual and regulatory requirement. But understanding and controlling your uncertainty is about more than compliance.
Optimising the value and efficiency of energy operations is key to achieving a better balanced and low-carbon energy future. Better control of your uncertainty provides a better assessment of your energy operation’s efficiency and performance.

Case study: Australia.
LNG measurement support.
Our challenge: to provide an assessment of LNG, Condensate and LPG tank measurement, along with LNG product quality sampling and analysis systems.
- Fully connected, Kelton’s measurement consultant based in Aberdeen was able to guide their in-country colleague through the correct assessment requirements and log all relevant details – informing of actions along the way.
- Kelton were able to fully assess the LNG sampling system and its adherence to the GII GNL guidance document and international standards.
- Made recommendations to improve the performance of the entire system - including for the condensate and LPG tank measurement.
- This, in turn, will assist in reducing the risk of potentially expensive commercial exposure associated with LNG sampling issues.
