SLB's End-to-end Emissions Solutions (SEES) business unveiled its next-generation methane point instrument, a self-installed continuous methane monitoring system for oil and gas operations. This innovative technology, leveraging Internet of Things-enabled sensors, offers accurate and cost-effective detection, localization, and quantification of methane emissions, crucial for reducing greenhouse gas impact.
The compact device, designed for easy deployment, contains integrated solar panels and wind measurement features. Its 'plug-and-play' functionality allows operators to swiftly scale up continuous methane monitoring across facilities at minimal cost, similar to installing home security cameras. This advancement aligns with global regulatory reporting requirements, such as the Oil & Gas Methane Partnership 2.0 (OGMP) and proposed US EPA rules. SLB's announcement at ADIPEC underscores the industry's commitment to collective action for decarbonization. SEES, launched in 2022, provides comprehensive emissions solutions, including consulting, optimized surveillance planning, measurements, and interpretation, to help operators effectively manage and reduce methane and routine flare emissions worldwide.
