UK NEL launches oil and gas helpline for flow issues
The UK’s National Engineering Laboratory (NEL) has launched an oil and gas industry helpline, supported by the National Measurement Institute to improve accuracy and reduce its fiscal liability by offering operators free advice on flow measurement issues. The service gives operators access to a 30-minute problem-solving call with one of NEL's consultants, who can offer advice and insight on system design, technology, meter performance, interpretation of standards and calibration. 

NEL has launched a flow measurement advice helpline for the oil and gas industry, supported by the National Measurement Institute (NMI).

As many flow metrology issues can be resolved through a short discussion with an expert, the free telephone service offers 30 minutes with one of NEL’s consultants. It is hoped that the helpline will help operators to improve meter measurement accuracy and reduce their fiscal liability.

Advice offered by the NEL flow measurement experts will be wide ranging, including the design of accurate systems, technology selection, improving meter accuracy and performance, standards interpretation, and testing and calibration queries.

As a global centre of excellence for flow measurement and fluid flow systems, NEL is one of the UK’s National Measurement System (NMS) laboratories which deliver world class measurement science and technology. This infrastructure allows measurements to be made with integrity and consistency, by holding and maintaining internationally recognised measurement standards and practices.
