METEC ADED 2025 Results

Independent testing at Colorado State University’s METEC Advancing Development of Emissions Detection (ADED) program shows that Qube’s continuous monitoring system reliably detects the leaks that drive most methane emissions at oil and gas sites. Compared with our 2024 campaign, Qube delivered stronger performance under more demanding test conditions.

In this article we walk through the results in four areas: localization, emission rate prediction, detection capability, and quantification. We also link to the final METEC report so you can review the full third-party results.

Fewer Site Visits, Faster Repairs: Results from Qube’s EPA-Approved Periodic Screening

In March 2025, EPA approved Qube continuous monitoring as an alternative technology for periodic inspections under NSPS OOOOb/c ( and applicable to OOOOa). Here we detail how it works. Pick a 7-day window and a 90% PoD threshold. The 7-day block average either passes or fails, and crews conduct site inspections only upon fails. The results are less routine visits, faster repairs, and reduced costs across sites.

EPA Deregulation and Methane Monitoring: What Operators Need to Know

The EPA is pushing its most aggressive deregulatory effort yet, aiming to roll back key methane regulations. However, legal and procedural roadblocks could stall or block these changes, leaving operators in regulatory limbo. For now, existing EPA rules—like quarterly LDAR inspections—remain in full force. With legal battles expected to drag on for years, proactive methane monitoring is essential for compliance, asset integrity, and investor confidence. Stay ahead of the uncertainty—here’s what you need to know.

Congress Votes to Repeal EPA’s Waste Emission Charge (WEC) Implementing Rule

Congress has voted to repeal the EPA’s Waste Emissions Charge (WEC) rule, also known as the methane fee, which imposed financial penalties on large methane emitters in the oil and gas sector. While this eliminates the direct fee, EPA methane reporting requirements and state regulations still apply, meaning operators must continue monitoring and reporting emissions.
