ExxonMobil pilots emerging technology platforms to find comprehensive methane monitoring solutions

June 25, 2020 | Case Study

Methane mitigation measures offer low-hanging fruit opportunities for oil and gas operators to decarbonize upstream and midstream operations. As supermajors maintain focus on natural gas as a major driver of global decarbonization efforts, it will be increasingly important for the industry to quantify and locate emission sources in order to understand the life-cycle greenhouse gas emissions of natural gas. This has likewise attracted significant innovation activity, with emerging platforms ranging from ground-based sensors to aerial-based monitoring, making it difficult for the industry to find a comprehensive solution.
