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.
Qube Passes SOC 2 Type II Audit for the Third Consecutive Year
Qube has passed its SOC 2 Type II audit for the third consecutive year. This achievement confirms what our customers already know: our controls, processes, and infrastructure consistently meet the highest standards for data security.
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.
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.
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.
Rethinking Turbulence Intensity: A Smarter Approach to Methane Dispersion Modeling
Emission models are just as important as the devices used to detect methane.
Here, we show how we have improved our emissions model to better account for turbulence, the rapid fluctuations in wind direction and speed that drive dispersion.
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.
Qube Announces Strategic Funding to Scale Next-Generation Emissions Monitoring Technology
CALGARY, AB – Qube Technologies (“Qube”), the global leader in continuous emissions monitoring, is pleased to announce the successful closing of a new funding round led by existing investors TC Energy with participation from NGIF Capital and other strategic investors. This capital infusion follows a landmark 2025 for the company and is earmarked to accelerate the deployment of Qube’s expanded product portfolio across several industries.
Qube’s Emissions Detection, Localization and Quantification Results from METEC ADED 2025
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.
Understanding Probability of Detection and Time-to-Detection: The Continuous Monitoring Advantage
For continuous monitoring, Probability of Detection (PoD) can be framed as a function of time. Detection confidence grows with each measurement window. Here we explain how controlled-release testing and time segmentation translate PoD into Time-to-Detection (TtD) and contrast that with single-pass survey methods. For operators, this provides a practical way to set expectations for how quickly a continuous system will find different-sized events and why that matters for response.
