The Advantage of Changeable Spectral Filters in your Optical Gas Imaging (OGI) Camera
There are two kinds of OGI cameras: cooled and uncooled. Cooled cameras, like the EyeCGas 2.0, allow us to detect small to large leaks (methane and over 400 VOCs) from various distances, up to 10 kilometers away and more. Whereas uncooled OGI technology, such as the EyeCGas Mini, is slightly limited in its capabilities, detecting medium to larger leaks (methane) closer to the source. Inside the ...

Joint IPIECA-OGCI-IOGP project to develop industry recommended practices for deploying methane detection and quantification technologies
Rapid evolution of satellite, drone and sensor technologies is enabling better detection and quantification of methane emissions. However, which combination of new and established detection and quantification technologies is most effective in a given setting is yet to be determined – what works well for an onshore site in the desert, for example, could be different from the optimal ...

Laser gas detection success for Anglian Water Services
Anglian Water Services (AWS) wanted to quantify methane emissions from their wastewater treatment processes. As these are less well understood and less well defined than indirect carbon emissions associated with electricity use, they set up a project to locate and quantify emissions from the processes at a wastewater treatment works. This was led by the in-house Innovation Team which undertakes ...

Using an Infrared Sensor (IR Sensor) for Reliable Methane Gas Monitoring
This article explains why an infrared sensor (IR sensor) is the preferred option for methane detection, as methane detectors are essential for monitoring safety and efficiency in a wide range of applications. Gas detectors that can detect and quantify industrial and environmental gases like carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and methane play a vital role in ensuring the safety and efficiency of ...

NSPS OOOOb and EG OOOOc rules: OGI perspective
In this action, the EPA is finalizing a protocol for the use of OGI as appendix K to 40 CFR part 60. The EPA notes that while this protocol is being finalized in this action, the applicability of the protocol is broader. The protocol is applicable to facilities when specified in a referencing subpart to help determine the presence and location of leaks; it is not currently applicable for use ...

How Kairos Aerial Surveys Helped Triple Crown Sharply Reduce Methane Emissions
The Oil and Gas Climate Initiative shared a case study about our successful partnership with Triple Crown Resources, hosted on their website and shared below. “There are 10 or 15 different reasons why businesses should detect and fix methane leaks, but one that even the most skeptical exploration and production (E&P) companies can agree with is that it can be profitable. This is the ...

Unconventional Oil and Gas Production Not Currently Affecting Drinking Water Quality
A new U.S. Geological Survey study shows that unconventional oil and gas production in some areas of Arkansas, Louisiana, and Texas is not currently a significant source of methane or benzene to drinking water wells. These production areas include the Eagle Ford, Fayetteville, and Haynesville shale formations, which are some of the largest sources of natural gas in the country and have trillions ...

Jubilee bonfire beacon, but no explosion, thanks to methane leak check
Villagers in Brightwell Baldwin in Oxfordshire celebrated the Queen's Diamond Jubilee in style, lighting a hilltop bonfire as one of the nationwide chain of 4000 beacons being lit simultaneously. But the organiser had a background in the gas industry, so he was nervous about lighting a fire above an old landfill site. Leigh Greenham, who has been involved in the gas detection business for many ...
