Continuous Monitoring in New Mexico: Reduce Inspection Costs, Improve Environmental Performance, and Meet Ozone Precursor Rule Compliance
New Mexico’s Ozone Precursor Rule (20.2.50 NMAC) requires oil and gas operators to conduct regular equipment leak monitoring, typically through OGI surveys and AVO inspections.
The NMED considers Qube’s continuous methane monitoring system a pre-approved alternative monitoring technology under the rule. This webinar covers what the approval means in practice: how Qube’s system satisfies equipment leak monitoring requirements, what an Alternative Equipment Leak Monitoring Plan looks like under the rule, and how operators can reduce inspection costs while maintaining compliance.
Topics covered:
What New Mexico’s Ozone Precursor Rule requires of oil and gas operators
How Qube’s NMED-approved work practices compare to Part 50 OGI surveys
Compliance economics: inspection cost reduction and payback timelines
How to submit advance notice to NMED and activate the approved plan
