Abstract:
Methane emissions from oil and gas facilities are a significant contributor to climate change and need to be accurately assessed to manage reductions and to meet sustainability goals and reporting requirements.
Multiple approaches exist to address the challenge of quantifying methane emissions, from traditional “bottoms-up” leak detection to new technologies remotely measuring emissions “top-down” using satellites, aircraft, drones, and fixed devices. Each method has different capabilities and limitations, and selecting appropriate solutions for a particular situation can be a challenging task. This presentation will provide an overview of the options available, with a focus on top-down measurements.
One technique that is emerging as a versatile and efficient approach across varied operating environments is the use of drones equipped with highly sensitive methane sensors that directly measure methane plumes. The presentation will explore this use of drones in more detail for onshore, offshore, and LNG facilities.
Regional case studies will be used to illustrate the applications and consideration given to implementation in Singapore.
