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.
How Qube’s Continuous Monitoring Caught a Regulator Malfunction and Saved $9,000
A malfunctioning back pressure regulator at a tank and separator went undetected until continuous monitoring flagged it. Here's how real-time data prevented a costly cascade of equipment failures and saved the operator $9,000 in a single emissions event.
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.
Achieving OGMP 2.0 Level 5 with Continuous Monitoring
Qube’s continuous monitoring supports operators in their journey toward the OGMP 2.0 Level 5 Gold Standard. Here is an overview of the framework, its significance, and how Qube facilitates a seamless transition to Level 5 reporting.
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.
