Natural Gas – Methane Detection Case Study

March 10, 2021

KEY RESULTS Deployed in Days not Months Significant installation savings with easy deployment Installed flexible solution in a remote area Challenge Customer operates an underground natural gas storage facility. Once a natural gas field, the facility was successfully converted into a storage reservoir through gas reinjection. The process of conversion also involves drilling many new wells that enable a more rapid withdrawal of gas from the reservoir storage. These wells are a source of methane gas leakages. Reducing methane emissions is a challenge for the oil & gas industry, as is compliance with emerging regulations. Moreover, increasing gas monitoring density…
