A Colorado operator using Qube’s continuous methane monitoring system received an automated alert about an unexpected emissions spike at a wellhead. Upon investigation, the field team discovered the source: a cow had rubbed against the equipment and opened a manual ball valve, unintentionally releasing gas. The team quickly shut the valve, restored normal readings, and installed fencing to prevent similar incidents. Thanks to Qube’s real-time alerts, the issue was resolved within an hour—without downtime or emissions escalation.

“Another Win for Continuous Monitoring”

Missed by AVO, caught by continuous monitoring. When Qube Technologies flagged elevated methane at a QB Energy tank site, field teams were able to locate and fix a leaking thief hatch—achieving a 97% emissions drop in hours. This case study shows how real-time continuous monitoring data and a fast response can keep operations running smooth.

Qube Technologies’ continuous emissions monitoring solutions provide operators with the tools to differentiate offsite from onsite emissions. Furthermore, our data modeling and intuitive dashboard omit those outside emissions from your facility total.

Qube’s devices have been tested in some of the world’s toughest climates: extreme cold, heat, humidity, and dust. Qube has used this experience to refine our hardware to deliver reliable, durable continuous emissions monitoring anywhere in the world.

At Qube Technologies, listening to our customers isn’t just part of what we do—it’s central to our mission. In the critical field of emissions monitoring, understanding real-world challenges and anticipating customers’ emerging needs are key to driving innovation.

Qube’s platform offers real-time leak detection, efficient alerting, and odor management, enabling RNG operators to maximize revenue, enhance safety, and reduce emissions. 

Qube Technologies has built the Controlled Release Test Facility (CRTF), roughly 60 km (~ 37 mi) west of Calgary, Alberta, which functions as a specialized field environment to conduct continuous monitoring (CM) emissions tests under controlled real-world conditions.
