History

History of JP3 Measurement, LLC

JP3 Measurement was founded by entrepreneur Paul Little in 2005. Coming from a South Texas family that has been in the oil and gas industry for nearly a century, Paul was very familiar with the challenges of obtaining consistent and accurate measurement of oil and gas.

After earning an engineering degree from UT Austin, Paul spent several years working in the semiconductor industry in Austin and the Silicon Valley. During a routine equipment evaluation, Paul noticed that the spectrometer being used for other purposes could also detect hydrocarbon molecules in the machine’s processing chamber. He quickly surmised that this same technology could be adopted for use in the oil and gas industry to measure hydrocarbons in locations where traditional analyzers could not survive.

The optical technology would be more accurate and much faster than existing measurement technologies. Armed with that knowledge and with an entrepreneurial spirit, Paul launched JP3 and started down the path of revolutionizing the way that hydrocarbons are measured, bought and sold.

Today JP3 Measurement is a vibrant, growing company headquartered in Austin, TX, expanding its reach across the entire oil and gas market.
