Qube Technologies’ continuous monitoring platform can help operators limit super-emitters events, time bound events if they do occur and avoid negative publicity and potential penalties through real-time detection, localization, and quantification of methane leaks.

The Methane Waste Emissions Charge and Super-Emitter Program carry potential risks to operators for emissions in excess of certain thresholds and volumetric rates. While some leaks will occur under the best operational circumstances, the best way for operators to avoid financial penalties and reputation harm is to implement a continuous monitoring system that can detect leaks in real time, pinpoint the source, and accelerate remedial workflows that reduce the duration and severity of emission events.

The new methane rule enables operators to use approved advanced monitoring technologies, including continuous monitoring systems, to detect fugitive emissions. Qube’s platform meets and exceeds the technical requirements for using continuous monitoring systems under the rule.

Metal oxide sensors can drift from their calibrated baselines over time. But Qube’s remote auto-calibration process runs continuously and autonomously to identify potential drifts and correct itself to ensure consistent leak detection performance and data integrity.

Emission rates, emission durations, and wind speeds all vary, which can impact a continuous monitoring system’s probability of detection. Qube has developed a solution that optimizes device placements to assure the highest levels of detection and value for customers.

Qube’s SOC 2 Type I audit verifies that we effective controls in place to ensure our customers’ data security, and affirms our commitment to the highest operational standards for data management.

Management by exception helps upstream oil and gas operation managers focus on overall business unit performance. SCADA and Continuous monitoring systems together provide essential data that makes management by exception workflows more effective.

Continuous monitoring systems can cost-effectively meet updated monitoring and reporting requirements under Colorado Regulation 7.

Continuous monitoring systems can help operators meet new reporting requirements and reduce regulatory exposure under the proposed rules in subpart W.

Continuous monitoring systems enable oil and gas operators to continually monitor for methane emissions. But data and alarms alone will not stem an emissions event; dedicated operations and maintenance workflows are necessary to achieve positive outcomes from a CM system.

Continuous monitoring technologies allow operators to implement novel operation and maintenance work practices to efficiently respond to methane emissions

True false positive alarms are rarely issued by the Qube system. This articles explains what a false positive alarm is in the Qube system, how to make sense of METEC results, and the best practices for responding to potential false positive alarms.

Qube receives approval to conduct Leak Detection and Repair using continuous monitoring technology at Kiwetinohk Energy’s facilities and multi-well pad sites.

Qube's continuous monitoring system has been approved for use as an ALARM technology by New Mexico's Energy, Minerals and Natural Resources Department.

Establishing the right alarm parameters for a facility is essential to driving the appropriate response to leak events. This article discusses the best practices for establishing alarm notifications, how to implement them, and the benefits of each method.

Emissions from offsite sources can result in a false positive detection of emissions leading to problems with emissions quantification, land owner relations, and HSE concerns.
