How to make use of the international methane data sharing standard for your business
How can oil and gas companies improve their methane monitoring and maintain their regulatory compliance in a cost-effective manner? How can companies deploy monitoring solutions that detect fugitive emissions and prevent the likelihood of future leaks?
Better methane emissions management in 2021 starts with establishing an international standard for methane sensors and observations. Find out how disparate sensor technology and data sources can be combined to create a solution that will not only detect, but also help to predict future methane leaks.
What you can expect to learn in this webinar:
- How complex operations can achieve a cheaper and faster end-to-end methane emissions management process
- How to aggregate all your relevant methane sensor, asset and facility data into a coherent real-time operating picture using the Open Geospatial Consortium standards
- Dive deep into the architecture, data models and encodings of the new international methane emissions data standard
- Review a checklist for evaluating an interoperable methane solution
Why this is important now for oil and gas companies
Canada pledges to reduce oil and gas methane emissions by 40% to 45% below 2012 levels by 2025 as part of their Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) under the Paris Agreement. The reality with methane emissions monitoring is that it is very costly, time consuming, labour-intensive, and error-prone for oil and gas companies to identify leaks, quantify emissions, dispatch repair trips, validate results, generate reports, and ensure regulatory compliance. As a result, fugitive leaks are not detected in a timely manner, repairs are not effectively prioritized, permit extensions are not applied on time, fugitive and vented emissions are not accurately quantified, and costs are unnecessarily incurred due to redundant inspection and repair trips.
One of the biggest challenges for GHG emission reduction is the ability to integrate, aggregate and fuse heterogeneous methane emissions data from disparate methane sensors into a coherent sensor web. This would allow oil and gas companies to automate data wrangling tasks and report generation, and train AI models to detect and predict fugitive emissions.
An interoperable standard for methane data sharing is a critical first step to realizing these methane monitoring efficiencies. In partnership with the OGC, SensorUp is developing a new international best practice standard for methane sensors and observations, based on the ISO 19156:2001 Observations and Measurements (O&M) and OGC/ITU-T SensorThings API (ITU-T Y.4473) standards.
