Continuous Emission Monitoring System Price Guide

Continuous emissions monitoring is the ongoing measurement, detection, validation, and recording of emissions from an operating site. Unlike periodic inspections that provide a snapshot, a continuous system can maintain persistent awareness of methane, VOCs, and related operating conditions. Well Checked combines long-wave infrared imaging, video, acoustic sensing, and AI analysis to identify potential fugitive events and create a continuous record for operational and reporting use.

A CEMS for boilers is typically a stationary emissions-monitoring system that measures stack gases from combustion equipment, such as oxygen, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide, opacity, or flow, depending on the permit requirements. Well Checked’s offering is designed primarily for upstream oil and gas wellsite intelligence and fugitive methane and VOC monitoring, rather than conventional boiler-stack CEMS applications.

System price is determined by the number of sites, sensor configuration, site layout, power and communications availability, installation requirements, monitoring objectives, platform tier, and integration needs. A deployment focused on detection has different requirements than one including validated quantification, SCADA integration, response-workflow consulting, or reporting support. Well Checked provides pricing on request after reviewing the operational and compliance scope of the portfolio.

Yes. Well Checked uses long-wave infrared optical gas imaging as part of its multi-sensor approach, enabling day-and-night methane and VOC detection. The system does not rely on a single data source: video, acoustic information, and gas-imaging signals can be evaluated together. This layered approach helps Zentinal Core filter normal process conditions and focus alerts on potential fugitive anomalies requiring operator attention.

Zentinal Core evaluates multiple sensor streams to distinguish potential fugitive emissions from expected site activity and normal process emissions. Each site undergoes an approximate two-day AI Site Learning cycle that establishes operational baselines. Teams can also refine sensitivity settings, suppress known non-fugitive events, and adjust escalation rules as site conditions evolve. This tuning is intended to reduce alert fatigue while preserving meaningful event visibility.

After Zentinal Core validates a potential fugitive gas event, designated operator teams can receive near-real-time notifications through the Well Checked Dashboard, email, text, and SCADA where integrated. Well Checked provides dispatch runbooks, response-workflow templates, and rapid-response protocols designed to support acknowledgement, dispatch, and mitigation within 24 hours. Actual response timing remains dependent on the operator’s staffing, access, and field procedures.

The platform’s data output is structured to support EPA methane rule alternative-monitoring compliance submissions under 40 CFR Part 60 Subpart OOOOb. It is also aligned with OGMP 2.0 Level 4/5 measurement-based methane reporting frameworks and can be structured for SASB Oil & Gas E&P and TCFD ESG disclosures. Zentinal IQ quantifies emissions after validation to support more defensible reporting records.

Yes. Well Checked offers SCADA integration services that bring Zensory.ai alerts, emissions data, and operational insights into existing control-room workflows. Integration planning covers the relevant data, notification pathways, and operator response procedures. This can help teams use emissions and condition-monitoring intelligence alongside their established operating systems, rather than requiring them to rely on a separate monitoring process alone.
