Cactus Measurement

What Cactus Measurement does

Cactus Measurement, LLC is a privately held oilfield services company founded in 2023 and headquartered in Texas that designs, deploys, and services multiphase flow metering systems for onshore upstream oil and gas operators. The company specializes in real-time 4-phase production monitoring — measuring oil, water, gas, and sand simultaneously — to support flow assurance, internal allocation, and well performance optimization for U.S. shale basin operators.

The company's core product line centers on two multiphase meter variants: the Dual-Gamma Multiphase Meter (Dual-Gamma MPM), which uses dual-gamma technology to detect Gas Volume Fraction (GVF) and Water Liquid Ratio (WLR) with high accuracy, and the Non-Gamma Multiphase Meter, a non-radioactive alternative for sensitive environments. These meters are paired with the Cactus Automated IoT Systems, a digital platform that aggregates onsite sensor data, delivers real-time analytics, and enables remote monitoring and management. The hardware stack is complemented by vendor-agnostic field services covering installation, calibration, MPFM management, radioactive source stewardship via certified Radiation Safety Officers, and 24/7 remote or onsite support, positioning Cactus as a full-lifecycle metering partner rather than a pure hardware vendor.

Cactus operates from two Texas offices (Midland serving the Permian Basin and Rosenberg serving the Gulf Coast/Houston region) and executes an enterprise field-sales motion targeting oil and gas operators in major U.S. shale basins. By 2025, the company reported surpassing 300 multiphase metering projects per year and had formed strategic partnerships with leading operators and oilfield service companies. In 2026, the company was awarded a U.S. patent for its integrated multiphase metering technology and released monitoring solutions engineered for seamless control system integration. Revenue is generated through hardware sales, professional services, and managed IoT/data services, with pricing handled on a custom quote basis.

Core offering

Cactus Measurement designs, manufactures, and supports multiphase flow meters—principally the Dual-Gamma Multiphase Meter (Dual-Gamma MPM) and the Non-Gamma Multiphase Meter—used to measure oil, water, gas, and sand flow rates in upstream oil and gas operations. The hardware is paired with the Cactus Automated IoT Systems platform for real-time data gathering, analytics, and remote monitoring, and is delivered alongside installation, maintenance, calibration, radioactive source management, and training services.

Product overview

Cactus Measurement offers a portfolio of precision multiphase metering products and services for oil and gas operations. The core product line includes the Dual-Gamma Multiphase Meter (Dual-Gamma MPM) as the flagship solution using dual-gamma technology, the Non-Gamma Multiphase Meter as a non-radioactive alternative, and the Cactus Automated IoT Systems for integrated data gathering and real-time analytics. These products are complemented by vendor-agnostic service offerings including General Multiphase Metering Solutions, Post-Frac Operations Integration, and Radioactive Source Management. The company delivers 4-phase monitoring capabilities (oil, water, gas, and sand) through a unified measurement and data platform.
