Severity Based Alarm Levels in the Qube Platform 

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.

How Continuous Monitoring Maximized the Value of Biogas for Roeslein Alternative Energy

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.

Navigating the Stages of Technology Adoption in Emissions Management 

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.

Mitigating Risk with Continuous Monitoring Under the New Methane Fee and Super-Emitter Program

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.
