Continuous Methane Monitoring for Oil & Gas Operations

Continuous methane monitoring uses permanently deployed sensors, cameras, analytics, and alerts to observe wellsites around the clock rather than only during periodic inspections. Well Checked Systems combines Long-Wave Infrared optical gas imaging, video, acoustic sensing, and AI-assisted validation. This creates an ongoing record of site conditions and helps operations teams focus attention on potential fugitive events that warrant investigation or repair.

AI helps establish a baseline of normal site activity and evaluates information from multiple sensor streams before escalating an event. Zensory.ai™ uses an approximately two-day site-learning cycle, while Zentinal Core™ filters potential non-fugitive process events. This approach is designed to reduce alert fatigue, allowing operators to prioritize validated anomalies instead of repeatedly dispatching crews for routine or expected emissions activity.

Yes. Continuous methane and VOC monitoring can strengthen LDAR programs by providing ongoing detection, validation, documentation, and response workflows between scheduled surveys. Well Checked data output supports EPA methane rule alternative-monitoring compliance submissions under 40 CFR Part 60 Subpart OOOOb. Operators should align program design, repair documentation, and reporting practices with their applicable federal, state, and site-specific requirements.

When Zentinal Core™ validates a fugitive gas event, designated operator teams can receive near-real-time dashboard, email, text, and SCADA alerts. Well Checked provides response-workflow templates, dispatch runbooks, and escalation protocols designed to help teams acknowledge, dispatch, and mitigate within 24 hours. Actual response timing remains dependent on the operator’s staffing, access conditions, safety procedures, and repair resources.

Yes. Well Checked offers SCADA integration services that place monitoring alerts, emissions information, and operational insights within established control-room workflows. Integration planning considers the operator’s existing systems, alert-routing preferences, escalation rules, and site communications. This helps teams avoid adding another disconnected dashboard and enables monitoring intelligence to support their current dispatch and operational decision processes.

The Zensory.ai™ platform combines high-resolution video, Long-Wave Infrared optical gas imaging, acoustic sensing, and onsite edge computing. The multi-sensor approach supports day-and-night methane and VOC observation while also providing visual and acoustic context for equipment conditions. Edge processing is designed to operate independently of communications, which is important for remote oil and gas sites with inconsistent connectivity.

Zentinal IQ™ is designed to quantify emissions after Zentinal Core™ has validated an event, helping improve the accuracy and defensibility of emissions information. Structured data can support regulatory submissions, emissions inventories, and measurement-based reporting frameworks such as OGMP 2.0 Level 4/5, SASB Oil & Gas E&P, and TCFD. Reporting teams should verify final calculations and submissions against applicable requirements.

Well Checked Systems serves US continental onshore upstream oil and gas producing regions. Confirmed deployment experience includes the Appalachian Basin, with availability in the Permian, Anadarko, Bakken, Eagle Ford, Denver-Julesburg, and San Juan basins. Deployment scope is planned around site conditions, monitoring objectives, communications, integration needs, and the operator’s desired alert and response workflows.
