Problem
Oil and gas facilities face challenges in accurately and continuously monitoring greenhouse gas emissions, often relying on infrequent inspections that can lead to delayed leak detection and inefficient repairs. Traditional monitoring methods like Optical Gas Imaging (OGI) surveys can be expensive and may not provide real-time insights into emission levels and sources.
Solution
Qube offers a continuous emissions monitoring solution that utilizes calibrated sensors and machine learning to detect and measure greenhouse gas emissions at oil and gas facilities. Deployed in the field, Qube devices continuously detect methane and other gases, providing real-time data for analysis. The system infers leak location, quantity, and classification, enabling operators to quickly identify and address emission sources. A dashboard allows users to manage repairs and reduce emissions based on the insights generated by the Qube platform.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes oil and gas operators seeking to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, comply with regulations, and improve the efficiency of leak detection and repair processes.
