Better Emission Workflows in 2026: Driving Operational Analysis with Qube’s New Products

Qube now delivers equipment-level monitoring (Qube Lite) and imaging (Qube Camera) integrated directly with your process data (e.g., SCADA). By combining emission data with real-time process information, operators gain the context needed to distinguish between routine operations—like venting or blowdowns—and actual equipment failures.

Does Continuous Monitoring Accurately Detect Landfill Methane? FluxLab Tests Qube

Beyond oil and gas, continuous monitoring is an established technology for managing emissions at diverse sites like landfills, mines, and biogas facilities. Qube Technologies recently shared results from a validation program conducted in partnership with FluxLab, focusing on landfill methane detection at scale.

Qube’s Probabilistic Duration Model for Methane Emissions

What’s New?

  • Improved emission event bounding that accounts for source coverage

  • Source coverage is calculated based on whether devices are downwind of a particular source at a given time

  • We use short term probability to determine if correlation between source coverage and methane readings is coincidence or correlated

  • Given high enough probability, we can fill in short gaps and extend emissions

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.

METEC ADED 2025 Results

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.

Time-Bounding Large Release Events with Continuous Monitoring

Most LDAR methods capture only a snapshot, so they miss when an event starts, when it ends, and how long it lasts. Without that timeline, it can be challenging to quantify released volume, verify repairs, or determine whether the source is constant, intermittent, or tied to specific operations. Qube’s continuous monitoring provides 24/7 data that time-bounds emission events, enabling accurate volume estimates and confident repair verification.

Fewer Site Visits, Faster Repairs: Results from Qube’s EPA-Approved Periodic Screening

In March 2025, EPA approved Qube continuous monitoring as an alternative technology for periodic inspections under NSPS OOOOb/c ( and applicable to OOOOa). Here we detail how it works. Pick a 7-day window and a 90% PoD threshold. The 7-day block average either passes or fails, and crews conduct site inspections only upon fails. The results are less routine visits, faster repairs, and reduced costs across sites.

How Qube’s Continuous Monitoring Found Leaking Level Controllers After Well Restart

A Colorado well pad restarted after a non-routine shut-in. Within hours, Qube’s continuous monitoring flagged methane levels consistent with a large release event (estimated at >100 kg/h, about 125 mscf/d). The operator’s LDAR team located badly leaking level controllers and multiple thief hatches and completed repairs in under 24 hours. The operator then initiated a fleet-wide replacement of aging controllers to prevent recurrence.

Qube Lite Field Tested for Real-World Operations at Tourmaline’s West Wolf Lake Gas Plant

Our Product and Ops Teams installed Qube Lite at Tourmaline Oil Corp's West Wolf Lake Gas Plant as part of the NGIF Accelerator's Emission Testing Centre Program.

Qube Lite is our new intrinsically safe, lower-cost continuous monitoring sensor, designed for near-source deployment. Perfect to zero-in on individual equipment (e.g., tanks, separators, wellheads, etc.).

Initial results were positive with easy installation and seamless activation, even in less than ideal weather.

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.
