ConocoPhillips Co. will pilot Qube Technologies Inc.'s emissions monitoring technology at facilities across multiple basins within the continental U.S., a Qube press release announced on April 5.
The deployments will be focused on using Qube’s continuous emissions monitoring hardware to detect emissions and advanced algorithms to prioritize alerts based on estimated releases and location.
"ConocoPhillips is an industry leader and has championed the use of innovative methane detection technologies," Qube CEO Alex MacGregor said in the press release. "We are excited to be working with ConocoPhillips to better understand methane emissions and employ practices to cost effectively reduce such emissions."
Qube's detection sensors continuously monitor for gas leaks and transmit data to the cloud, where it can then be used to reduce emissions with automated reporting and customizable alerts.
Anticipated North American regulation initiatives and standards, in conjunction with voluntary efforts by leading oil and gas companies, have fostered an innovative approach to emissions reduction strategies and targets. Calgary, Alberta-based Qube continues to form partnerships with leading energy companies focused on reducing their carbon footprint while maintaining competitiveness in a global market that is moving toward sustainable production practices and ESG efforts.
