Qube Lite Field Tested for Real-World Operations at Tourmaline’s West Wolf Lake Gas Plant

Our Product and Ops Teams installed Qube Lite at Tourmaline Oil Corp's West Wolf Lake Gas Plant as part of the NGIF Accelerator's Emission Testing Centre Program.

Qube Lite is our new intrinsically safe, lower-cost continuous monitoring sensor, designed for near-source deployment. Perfect to zero-in on individual equipment (e.g., tanks, separators, wellheads, etc.).

Initial results were positive with easy installation and seamless activation, even in less than ideal weather.

Smarter Sampling, Sharper Signals: How Qube Cuts Bandwidth and Power Use in Methane Monitoring

Continuous monitoring provides a clear advantage: it constantly captures emissions data 24 hours a day. But this volume of data comes at a significant cost of bandwidth and power.

How can operators maintain reliable monitoring without straining their networks or batteries? Qube solves this by combining efficient power use with intelligent sampling techniques.

Here we review the advances in sampling, data compression, and payload frequency that make this possible.

Qube’s Data Driven Approach to Optimizing Sensor Placement

Strategic sensor placement is critical for reliable, real-time methane detection. Detection depends not just on technology, but on understanding wind behavior, emission sources, and site constraints. 

Qube’s deployment methodology uses historical wind data, source mapping, and MILP-based optimization to design sensor arrays that maximize detection coverage and minimize false negatives. 

The Qube deployment tool turns this methodology into a practical workflow—helping operators visualize trade-offs, configure sensor layouts, and balance detection accuracy with budget.
