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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Qube Lite: Faster Methane Source Detection at Tank Farms
When potential methane sources are located close together, how do you know which unit is actually emitting?
This case study shows how Qube Lite, our new intrinsically safe methane sensor, helps operators distinguish emission source from a single tank at a tank farm.
