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.

Independent trials by FluxLab and the Environmental Research & Education Foundation (EREF) confirmed Qube Technologies as the top performer in continuous landfill methane monitoring. In two independent trials, Qube’s continuous monitoring system delivered the most accurate and resilient results—even under extreme weather conditions. With high-resolution, real-time data, Qube empowers landfill operators to better detect, quantify, and reduce emissions. The takeaway? Science-backed performance you can trust..

Methane management has emerged as a strategic priority for oil and gas operators. As regulatory frameworks evolve and investor expectations sharpen, reliance on periodic leak detection methods is no longer sufficient.

This straightforward application of continuous monitoring technology delivers actionable operational intelligence while enhancing environmental protection efforts.

The EPA is pushing its most aggressive deregulatory effort yet, aiming to roll back key methane regulations. However, legal and procedural roadblocks could stall or block these changes, leaving operators in regulatory limbo. For now, existing EPA rules—like quarterly LDAR inspections—remain in full force. With legal battles expected to drag on for years, proactive methane monitoring is essential for compliance, asset integrity, and investor confidence. Stay ahead of the uncertainty—here’s what you need to know.

Congress has voted to repeal the EPA’s Waste Emissions Charge (WEC) rule, also known as the methane fee, which imposed financial penalties on large methane emitters in the oil and gas sector. While this eliminates the direct fee, EPA methane reporting requirements and state regulations still apply, meaning operators must continue monitoring and reporting emissions.

With the new Trump administration, methane regulations are in flux - but compliance remains essential. While some rules are being reviewed, others remain in effect, and operators need to stay prepared. Here’s a quick breakdown of what has changed (and what hasn’t) since Trump took office.

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.

Qube’s continuous monitoring (CM) solutions set a new standard for emissions management. On-site sensors detect methane leaks in real time, even in adverse conditions. Advanced analytics quantify leak intensity and calculate emissions, allowing for targeted remediation planning.

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 remains proactive in supporting EPA compliance, offering continuous monitoring solutions with advanced tracking features. Qube has also applied to have its technology recognized as an alternative for NSPS OOOOb/EG OOOOc standards, positioning clients for seamless adaptation to changing requirements. 

Evolving regulations demand operator compliance to ensure efficient and cost-effective operations. Qube, a leader in continuous methane monitoring, helps clients across industries, including oil and gas, meet these regulatory challenges.

The landfill sector is undergoing significant change – heightened public scrutiny, incoming regulatory changes, and a rapidly evolving emissions monitoring landscape. Continuous monitoring technologies such as Qube offer clear advantages over traditional SEM approaches, including real-time leak detection, odor management, and all-season coverage.
