Together, Montrose Environmental Group, Inc. (“Montrose”) Sensible Environmental Data Platform (Sensible EDP), a pioneer in revolutionizing the way environmental data is managed and monitored, and Kuva Systems, a leading solution provider for image-based continuous monitoring of methane and VOC emissions, have developed a comprehensive suite of environmental data technology to detect, locate, and address methane and VOC emissions. With the addition of Kuva’s low-cost IR camera and no-false-positive alert system to Montrose’s Sensible EDP cloud solution, users can now undertake real-time image-based root cause investigation of emissions.
Operators of oil and gas wells in the United States and Canada are currently using Kuva’s camera-based solution. In order to reduce emissions, operators in challenging upstream and midstream oil and gas sites can use the Kuva system to pinpoint “super emitters,” or intermittent big emission episodes. Operators can monitor data related to environmental regulation compliance, reduce the possibility of paying methane emission fines, and track methane intensity in relation to ESG obligations by utilizing Kuva’s technology.
Sensible EDPTM from Montrose Environmental is committed to transforming the generation, management, and monitoring of environmental data. Sensible EDPTM, a cutting-edge technology, enables real-time insights that facilitate informed decision-making by seamlessly integrating data from a user’s whole ecosystem of environmental sensors.
“According to the EPA, methane accounts for about 20% of global greenhouse gas emissions,” said Steve Davis, Senior Vice President of Environmental Data Solutions at Montrose. For real-time leak detection and remediation, a cutting-edge methane monitoring program is essential. Companies can comply with forthcoming methane rules and cut methane emissions thanks to our partnership with Kuva.
Field operations and environmental teams at upstream and midstream oil and gas facilities are under increasing pressure to find and address the underlying causes of super-emitter occurrences, according to Robert Ward, Kuva’s vice president of business development.
Field operations are already overburdened with daily responsibilities, and non-visual sensors could result in a deluge of warnings that can’t be taken action on without providing meaningful insights – especially given that the majority of super emitters are intermittent. Operators can respond to the additional demands brought on by methane fees and the impending super emitter response program with Kuva’s image-based solution at a reasonable cost.
