Qube Platform Releases 2.66: Improved Inspection Workflow
Platform Releases 2.66 brings an improved inspection workflow with easier accessibility, more options, and better visibility.
New Product Teaser: Qube Lite Gateway Platform
The Qube Lite Gateway Platform is an ultra low cost, intrinsically-safe communications platform with Bluetooth capabilities. Deploy with various sensors across equipment or combine with other continuous monitoring sensors like Qube Lite for rapid, low-cost detection with operational context.
New Product Teaser: Qube Handheld Leak Detector
Introducing our new product in development: Qube Handheld Leak Detector. A lightweight, portable emissions monitor with a companion app to track inspections and sync data with the Qube Platform.
Qube Awarded $2.55 Million from Emissions Reduction Alberta to Scale Continuous Emissions Monitoring
ERA has awarded Qube Technologies $2.55 million to advance continuous emissions monitoring platform for methane and greenhouse gas detection. The award is part of a $15.1 million investment in seven technologies led by Calgary companies, announced by the Government of Alberta and ERA. Total value of Qube's project is $7.9 million.

New Product Teaser: Qube OGI in Field Testing
Introducing our new product in development: Qube OGI. A continuous OGI camera with object detection and classification. It is currently field testing with generous support from the Methane Innovation Collaborative.
Qube Platform Releases 2.64 & 2.65: Device Aliases, Offsite Emission Classification, and Improved Qube Lite Measurement Charts
Platform Releases 2.64 & 2.65 bring new and improved features: device aliases, offsite emission classification, and improved Qube Lite measurement charts.
New Mexico Proposes New Methane Abatement Rule
On July 16, 2026, the New Mexico Environment Department (NMED) released a stakeholder review draft of a new rule, 20.2.51 NMAC, Methane Abatement. We summarizes the draft requirements, compare them to existing state and federal rules, and outline the role of continuous monitoring in compliance.
Qube Platform Release 2.63: Camera Dashboard and Alarm Push Notifications
Platform Release 2.63 adds the Qube Camera dashboard and alarm push notifications to your desktop and mobile devices.
The Business Benefits of Continuous Monitoring
Continuous emissions monitoring delivers more than detection. Across a multi-site upstream oil and gas deployment, the data shows a 93% reduction in monthly emission volume, a 75% reduction in inspection costs, and documented equipment repair savings.
How Continuous Monitoring and SCADA Data Connected Truck Loading Events to VRU Shutdowns
Elevated emissions near a tank farm were detected during every truck loading event. Here's how aligning continuous monitoring data with SCADA data traced the emissions to oxygen intrusion causing VRU shutdowns, and how rerouting the vapor line resolved it.
How Continuous Monitoring Caught Flare Combustion Issues That Temperature Monitoring Missed
A facility's flare was reading normal tip temperature, but continuous monitoring showed emissions climbing month over month. Here's how cross-referencing monitoring data with operational records traced the issue to a blower running without PID control.
Qube Passes SOC 2 Type II Audit for the Third Consecutive Year
Qube has passed its SOC 2 Type II audit for the third consecutive year. This achievement confirms what our customers already know: our controls, processes, and infrastructure consistently meet the highest standards for data security.
Qube Platform Release 2.62: Instant Device Information on the Site Dashboard
Release 2.62 adds instant device information accessed on the site dashboard.
How Continuous Monitoring Identified the Right Problem and Avoided the Wrong Fix
When Qube's continuous monitoring system detected elevated emissions around a BTEX system, the combustor was the obvious suspect. By analysing emission patterns across different control valve configurations, the team used the monitoring data to work through a structured diagnosis. The right repair was made, emissions returned below baseline, and the operator avoided unnecessary capex on equipment the data had already cleared.
Proven in the Field: Qube Technologies and NGIF ETC Advance Continuous Emissions Monitoring
Qube Technologies has worked with the NGIF Emissions Testing Centre to test and validate its continuous emissions monitoring hardware, data models, and platform at Tourmaline's West Wolf Lake Gas Plant in Alberta. NGIF has also supported Qube financially across multiple rounds. The latest work at the ETC focuses on Qube Lite and Qube Camera, which operate as standalone tools or integrate with Qube Fenceline to deliver equipment-level source detection, precise localization, and visual confirmation in a single platform.
Continuous Monitoring in Practice: Case Studies in Cost, Performance, & Emissions Reduction
See how operators are using Qube’s continuous emissions monitoring to investigate equipment issues, confirm repairs, and reduce unnecessary site visits. Real-world case studies demonstrate the measurable value of pairing emissions data with operational context — across cost reduction, site performance, and emissions management.
Qube Platform Release 2.61: Sharper Emission Classification and Expanded Source Coverage
Release 2.61 adds more volume classifications for events and adds anchor trenches as a source category.
Why Not Both? The Best Emissions Monitoring Systems Don’t Choose Between Fenceline and Source-Level Detection
Fenceline and source-level emissions sensors are often treated as competing approaches, but the strongest monitoring programs use both. Fenceline Qubes excel at site-level detection and quantification, while source-mounted sensors like Qube Lite pinpoint exactly which piece of equipment is leaking. Deployed together, the two technologies compensate for each other's blind spots, delivering cost-effective, comprehensive detection, localization, and quantification.
MiQ Certification with Continuous Monitoring
MiQ Certification is changing how natural gas is evaluated by linking methane performance to market value. This blog explains how the framework works, why continuous monitoring matters, and how operators can use measurement-backed data to strengthen certification, improve methane management, and access differentiated gas markets.
