Qube Outperforms the Competition: Fugitive Emissions from Thief Hatch Identified by Qube, Missed by Other Emissions Monitoring Technologies

Executive Summary

At a well battery site in Oklahoma, Qube's continuous monitoring system demonstrated superior performance in detecting and resolving a significant methane leak that competing technologies failed to identify. When Qube devices detected methane concentrations exceeding 100 ppm near the tank area, the system quickly alerted operators within an hour of detection. The issue was traced to an open thief hatch, which was promptly repaired within 24 hours of detection, resulting in a 95% reduction in emissions. This case study highlights Qube's effectiveness in real-time emission detection, rapid response capabilities, and superior performance compared to other continuous monitoring technologies, as validated by the site supervisor's testimonial. The successful implementation showcases Qube's ability to identify potential environmental and safety hazards that might otherwise go unnoticed by conventional monitoring systems.
