Gas measurement is a Team Sport & has substantial reach & impact across your organization, including financials, productivity, and environmental stewardship.
Poor access to measurement data & manual analysis could be costing your organization millions of dollars in Lost and Unaccounted For (LAUF) natural gas, extra work for staff, and operational inefficiencies. Plus the ESG cost of methane emissions uncertainty. Measurement errors dominate overall LAUF. With C-SMART Analytics, you can shrink the industry average LAUF from 0.4% to as low as 0.05%.
Top Benefits for Gas Measurement
With real time alerts and decision-ready analysis, customers trust C-SMART Analytics to drive measurable value and real business results.
Manage Maintenance by Exception
Relying solely on scheduled inspection of your measurement equipment leads to reactive maintenance and resolution of measurement errors with a less sensitive system balancing approach. Rather than an occasional snapshot of measurement conditions, C-SMART Analytics™ provides 24/7 monitoring and automated analysis, empowering you to manage by exception and boost your measurement certainty.
Shrink Your Carbon Intensity Uncertainty
As Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions reduction accelerates, all organizations must deepen their understanding of their ESG liability and the carbon intensity in supply chains. C-SMART Analytics reduces your carbon uncertainty with reliable volume data that will help you meet your ESG goals, eliminate phantom emissions, and support Responsibly Sourced Gas certification.
Bring Scattered Measurement Data Together
All too often, your data is trapped in silos, including: measurement equipment, SCADA systems, historians, accounting systems, network drives, personal files and emails, making it impossible to analyze and act on time sensitive information. C-SMART Analytics organizes all of your measurement diagnostics data in one database for rapid fire analysis.
Augment Your Technical Knowledge
The measurement technology and systems ecosystem is complex and expanding, forcing your team to stay up-to-date on hardware specs, standards, and best practices. C-SMART Analytics analyzes and presents the data across devices and brands, allowing your technicians to understand what they’re seeing, better communicate what’s going on, and confidently address issues.

Take Control of Your Measurement Risk
with Digital Twins
Everyday, measurement errors creep into your equipment – ultrasonic meters, gas chromatographs, Coriolis and orifice meters too, inflating your LAUF. C-SMART Analytics creates a digital twin of your equipment and continuously monitors devices by comparing incoming diagnostics to known behavioral models, industry best practices, OEM product specifications, and NIST traceable standards. As a result, C-SMART Analytics automatically identifies events and errors, enabling your team to quantify and eliminate measurement risk.
Device Level Errors
Malfunction of one or more individual sensors in a system, ex. pressure sensor failure
Maintenance Errors
Condition change in the gas stream, such as an obstruction causing a velocity profile shift
Software Configuration Errors
Incorrect settings, such as flow computer left in override mode at constant psig
Software Error & Bugs
Errors from software code bugs in the flow computer, USM or gas chromatograph
Data Transfer Errors
Issues with software failing to transfer data correctly between the metering system devices
System Implementation Errors
Equipment not implemented within specifications, design vs. as-built
Mix & Match for an Optimal Balance of
Measurement Error Control
C-SMART’s MVP and Complete services allow you to match the appropriate service to the importance of each meter run, bringing state-of-the-art analytics and error-catching benefits to an entire system.
C-SMART MVP
The C-SMART Measurement Verification Program (MVP) meter health check provides a baseline pass/fail condition for all of your measurement assets to quickly identify the 6% of meters that require further analysis. Know exactly what equipment needs to be calibrated, inspected, or repaired and save up to $4,500 on site visit costs for low volume custody transfer USM, check, segment, and multi-run orifice, turbine, or rotary meter stations.
C-SMART Complete
The C-SMART Complete service extends the value of C-SMART MVP with actionable data and intelligence at your fingertips that empower measurement teams to bypass manual deep dive analysis and get straight to the root cause of an error. Save $45,000 or more by boosting error-catching sensitivity and speed by 2.5X for high volume custody transfer multi-path USM or Coriolis, critical check, and segment meter stations.
