CPU® introduced Version 4.0 of eFCAS™
at
27th Annual Acadiana Flow Measurement Society Short Course

CPU introduced Version 4.0 of eFCAS™ at this year's event.

Enterprise Flow Computer Archival System - eFCAS™ - allows natural gas producers, transporters, and end-users to manage the gathering, validation, auditing, reporting, and dissemination of gas flow measurement data enterprise-wide. The eFCAS™ scalable system architecture provides field technicians, production managers, reservoir engineers, and accounting staff timely access to accurate natural gas measurement information, improving operations and facilitating regulatory compliance requirements such as FERC 636 and Sarbanes-Oxley.

eFCAS™ is fully integrated with NSI’s Oil Field Commander™ suite of real-time upstream products. See nsiupstream.com for more details on NSI’s Oil Field Commander suite of products.
