Qube has participated in numerous studies characterizing the technologies probability of detection and one thing has remained consistent across all of these studies; our PoD has never converged to a single curve or value for a 90% PoD.

A basic requirement of a continuous monitoring system is generation of alarm notifications based on emission rates exceeding a defined threshold. Alarm notifications are used by field operations personnel, LDAR technicians, engineers, and air quality professionals to initiate further investigation of the emission event and if necessary, coordinate field inspection and repairs.

At Qube Technologies, our team is our greatest asset. This month, we shine the spotlight on Gage McCoy, a Business Development Representative whose journey through the energy sector is as dynamic and inspiring as the innovations he champions. 

Qube Technologies (QUBE), a leader in continuous emissions monitoring solutions, is pleased to announce the addition of Teresa Waddington to its Board of Directors. This appointment comes on the heels of QUBE's successful Series B funding round.

The oil and gas industry faces new challenges with the EPA’s Methane Rules and the Waste Emission Charge. Compliance is becoming complex, requiring a strategic technology plan to optimize field operations. At Qube Technologies, we provide Continuous Monitoring (CM) technologies and support for the oil and gas industry.

At Qube Technologies, we are proud of our talented team members who drive innovation and excellence in everything we do. This month, we spotlight Everett, our Director of Data Science, whose journey through the realms of environmental science, data analytics, and machine learning has been nothing short of inspiring.

Emissions from oil and gas facilities are dynamic and often intermittent, meaning that standard measurement techniques may only capture a small portion of a facility's actual emissions. This is commonly known as intermittency, referring to the sporadic release of gases caused by operational changes or equipment issues.

At QUBE, we take pride in our exceptional team of experts who bring unparalleled knowledge and passion to the field. In this edition of our Employee Spotlight series, we are thrilled to introduce Kathy, our dynamic Customer Success (CS) Manager.

Caerus Oil and Gas partners with Qube Technologies to deploy advanced continuous monitoring at 50 sites in Colorado’s Piceance Basin.

This pilot showed that leaks do not occur at consistent intervals or emission rates. In fact, just 5% of the detected leaks represented ~55% of the total emissions over nine months of data collection. This distribution is similar to the oil and gas sector, where research has found that the top 5-10% of leaks represent 60-80% of emissions.

Environmental compliance and emissions management is being reshaped by continuous monitoring technologies. As regulatory bodies continue to adapt and integrate these technologies into their frameworks, we can expect significant improvements in the industry's ability to manage and mitigate environmental impact.

At the intersection of technology and environmental care, Qube Technologies is pioneering a new era in emissions monitoring. Our Emissions Dashboard is not merely a tool; it's a revolution in making complex data understandable and actionable. Designed with the oil and gas industry's needs in mind, this dashboard is your guide to not only achieving operational excellence but also advancing environmental responsibility.

At Qube Technologies, we don’t just create the best in continuous emissions monitoring solutions; we're at the forefront, driving it as part of the energy sector's evolution towards lower emissions and better financial performance. Our collaboration with a leading US operator showcases a significant shift enabled by our Continuous Monitoring (CM) technology—from the customer being unaware of operational issues leading to emissions, to becoming operationally proactive in reducing emissions while avoiding significant amounts of capital.

At Qube Technologies, we've embarked on an innovative journey with a leading Canadian oil and gas company to redefine emissions management in their operations. Through our partnership, we've deployed powerful ways that Continuous Monitoring (CM) technology enhances operational efficiency and contributes to lowering carbon emissions. This case study shares insights from our six-month journey towards proactive emissions management.

Qube is proud to announce its selection as one of the 18 startups for Plug and Play Alberta’s Sustainability Cohort, a part of their fifth cohort across various industry-specific programs including Digital Health, Sustainability, Food & Beverage, and Sector Agnostic (AI).

In the evolving narrative of emissions management, particularly within the oil and gas industry, we have witnessed substantial progress over the past decade. As we hone our focus on emissions, an array of innovative tools has surfaced to streamline the management and reduction of emissions more effectively. However, adapting to and harnessing modern technology can present its challenges.

Addressing the proverbial elephant in the room, it is worth noting that with growth often comes discomfort, reminiscent of the seven stages of grief. Here are how these stages manifest in the journey of technological adaptation, specifically through the lens of Continuous Monitoring (CM) technology.

The Methane Waste Emissions Charge and Super-Emitter Program carry potential risks to operators for emissions in excess of certain thresholds and volumetric rates. While some leaks will occur under the best operational circumstances, the best way for operators to avoid financial penalties and reputation harm is to implement a continuous monitoring system that can detect leaks in real time, pinpoint the source, and accelerate remedial workflows that reduce the duration and severity of emission events.

The new methane rule enables operators to use approved advanced monitoring technologies, including continuous monitoring systems, to detect fugitive emissions. Qube’s platform meets and exceeds the technical requirements for using continuous monitoring systems under the rule.

Metal oxide sensors can drift from their calibrated baselines over time. But Qube’s remote auto-calibration process runs continuously and autonomously to identify potential drifts and correct itself to ensure consistent leak detection performance and data integrity.

Emission rates, emission durations, and wind speeds all vary, which can impact a continuous monitoring system’s probability of detection. Qube has developed a solution that optimizes device placements to assure the highest levels of detection and value for customers.
