Verifying Methane Reductions with Continuous Monitoring: Upgraded Pneumatic Controllers Drive 80% Reduction
Colorado’s Reg 7 requires operators to eliminate methane-emitting pneumatic controllers and prove that new systems cut emissions. This operator replaced gas-driven devices with compressed air pneumatics, then used Qube’s continuous monitoring to establish a pre-upgrade baseline and quantify performance after startup. The fenceline sensors showed an immediate, sustained methane reduction of more than 80 percent, even at sites that were already operating below baseline. For engineering and technical leaders, this project shows how continuous monitoring can validate CAPEX decisions, de-risk compliance, and create a defensible data record for regulators and internal stakeholders.
Qube Dashboard Release 2.55: Default Filters and Alarm Notifications
Release 2.55 is here. If you manage emission monitoring for a subset of assets, this update is for you. Set your Default Filter to focus the Overview and Emission Analytics on only your sites or regions and optionally limit alarm notifications to the same filter to cut noise.
Qube Dashboard Release 2.54: Enhancements to Qube Lite Functionality and Visualization
Release 2.54 is live. Operators running mixed deployments of Qube Axon and Qube Lite can now identify device type at a glance, distinguish severity faster, and tailor Qube Lite alarms to each monitored equipment. It’s improved operational awareness and faster responses.
Qube Dashboard Release 2.53: Zoom In on Emission Rates and Customize Alarms at the Device Level
Release 2.53 is live. You can now zoom into low-level concentration changes and set measurement-based alarms per device for tighter, location-specific monitoring.
Driving Leak Detection in RNG: Case Studies from Early Deployments with Maas Energy Works
In August 2024, Maas Energy Works piloted Qube’s continuous methane monitoring at a dairy digester and saw immediate gains in leak detection and repair. On the strength of those results, Maas rolled out Qube at 24 additional digesters across California, Texas, and Idaho.
Here we present three case studies showcasing the early success of the expanded deployments. These results demonstrate Qube’s strong success in RNG, with rapid detection, verified emissions cuts, and measurable increases in retained product.
Qube Dashboard Release 2.51: Filter Quicker. Track Smarter. Arrive Prepared.
Release 2.51 is live! It brings faster site filtering, emissions source performance tracking, and capability to provide the info you need to know before arriving at site.
Qube’s Continuous Monitoring Uncovers Blocked Vent Line: Emissions Drop 80% at Colorado Wellsite
At a Colorado wellsite, Qube’s continuous monitoring system alerted operators to a sustained emission event. Qube’s data localized the emissions to the tank area and prompted a field investigation to verify the source of the anomaly. With this information, the team was able to identify the emission source and interrogate the root cause, a blocked vent line leading to the combustor.
Qube Platform Release 2.50: Smarter Alarms & Improved Emission Analytics
Platform Release 2.50 is now live! This update delivers more user alarm control and visualized insights, leading to better operational performance.
Rapid Leak Detection in the Piceance Basin: How Qube Helped Catch A Separator Leak
In Colorado’s Piceance Basin, a leading operator continues to set the bar for emissions control and operational safety. By integrating Qube Technologies’ continuous methane monitoring system, the operator aimed to strengthen its LDAR program and protect nearby homes located within 1,000 feet of its well pad.
This case study details how real-time alarms and accurate emissions source localization led to rapid action at the wellsite. Notably, catching a high-volume leak at the separator from going unnoticed over the weekend.
Qube Platform Release 2.49: Improved Overview Page Filtering, New Emission Analytics
Platform Release 2.49 is now live! Save time and gain insights from improved filtering and analysis.
How Qube’s Automated Alarms Caught a Cow at the Wellsite
A Colorado operator using Qube’s continuous methane monitoring system received an automated alert about an unexpected emissions spike at a wellhead. Upon investigation, the field team discovered the source: a cow had rubbed against the equipment and opened a manual ball valve, unintentionally releasing gas. The team quickly shut the valve, restored normal readings, and installed fencing to prevent similar incidents. Thanks to Qube’s real-time alerts, the issue was resolved within an hour—without downtime or emissions escalation.
QB Energy and Qube Technologies Resolve Thief Hatch Leak Leading to 97% Emissions Reduction
“Another Win for Continuous Monitoring”
-Air Compliance Manager-QB Energy
Missed by AVO, caught by continuous monitoring. When Qube Technologies flagged elevated methane at a QB Energy tank site, field teams were able to locate and fix a leaking thief hatch—achieving a 97% emissions drop in hours. This case study shows how real-time continuous monitoring data and a fast response can keep operations running smooth.
