Methane detection and quantification technology filtering tool

Methane detection and quantification technology filtering tool. Developed by the International Association of Oil & Gas Producers (IOGP), OGCI, and Ipieca, this online technology filtering tool features detailed technology data sheets covering over 50 technologies and decision trees to guide technology deployment.

Leak detection methods for natural gas pipelines

Upstream Americas, Heavy Oil – A pipeline transports CO2 from the Quest unit to injection sites for safe and permanent underground storage - Scotford Upgrader, near Fort Saskatchewan (northeast of Edmonton), Alberta in June 2015. Upon launching in 2015 Quest Carbon Capture and Storage Project will reduce CO2 emissions from Shell’s oil sands operations by more than one million tonnes a year by capturing CO2 from the Scotford Upgrader and permanently storing it deep underground. Quest is part of the Athabasca Oil Sands Project, a joint venture among Shell Canada Energy (60%), Marathon Oil Canada Corportation (20%) and Chevron Canada Limited (20%) and has received funding support from the governments of Alberta and Canada. HSSE approved 1177061-PC-D1-0434

This report provides an overview of various technologies used to detect methane leaks from pipelines. It contrasts legacy methods with more advanced solutions. The study includes a literature review and expert interviews to categorize and assess these technologies. Key findings emphasize the significance of pipeline methane emissions and the growing importance of modern detection methods […]

MiQ compatibility assessment

The MiQ Foundation, as the Standard holder, has developed this monitoring technology compatibility assessment to streamline market research conducted by Operators and other stakeholders to assess the compatibility of methane monitoring technologies against the requirements in the Monitoring Technology Deployment pillar of the MiQ Standard. This resource is particularly useful for companies selecting technologies to […]

Advanced methane technology alternative test method portal

EPA portal to submit requests for alternative test methods (ATM). ATM request has three primary pieces: 1) a document describing how your technology works, from first principles through the solution; 2) supporting documents demonstrating the technology works as stated and showing applicability; 3) the formal ATM. All those documents are available in the portal for all […]
