Continuous LDAR Inspection Services for Operators

LDAR testing is the process of finding, documenting, and repairing leaks from equipment that may emit gases or vapors, including methane and volatile organic compounds. Traditional programs often use scheduled surveys. Continuous LDAR monitoring adds persistent sensing and event records, helping operators identify potential leaks between inspections, validate events, prioritize repairs, and document mitigation activity.

In oil and gas, LDAR means Leak Detection and Repair. It refers to a program for identifying fugitive emissions from components and processes, recording findings, repairing confirmed leaks, and maintaining documentation. LDAR supports environmental compliance, emissions management, and operational efficiency. A continuous approach can supplement periodic surveys with ongoing detection, validation, alerting, and quantified event data.

Periodic inspections provide a measurement at a scheduled point in time, while continuous monitoring observes site conditions around the clock. Well Checked’s approach combines long-wave infrared imaging, video, acoustic sensing, and AI validation to identify meaningful changes between survey intervals. This can establish event duration, support quicker dispatch, and create a more complete operational and emissions record.

Yes. The platform uses long-wave infrared optical gas imaging designed to detect methane and VOC emissions day and night. Gas detection is evaluated alongside video and acoustic data, allowing the system to assess multiple signals before classifying an event. This multi-sensor approach helps reduce the likelihood that normal operating activity becomes an unnecessary fugitive-emissions alert.

Zentinal Core™ uses a multi-sensor workflow and an approximately two-day AI Site Learning cycle to establish normal conditions at each site. It can account for known non-fugitive process events, while alert-tuning services refine sensitivity and escalation rules as operating baselines change. The goal is to notify teams about validated anomalies rather than overwhelm them with routine operational noise.

Once Zentinal Core™ validates a fugitive gas event, designated operator teams can receive near-real-time alerts through the Well Checked Dashboard, email, text, and SCADA workflows. Well Checked provides response-workflow templates, dispatch runbooks, and rapid-response protocols to support acknowledge, dispatch, and mitigate actions within 24 hours, a window intended to minimize or eliminate EPA fines on validated methane survey events.

Well Checked structures emissions data to support EPA methane rule alternative-monitoring compliance submissions under 40 CFR Part 60 Subpart OOOOb. The platform is also aligned with OGMP 2.0 Level 4/5 measurement-based methane reporting frameworks and can organize data for SASB Oil & Gas E&P and TCFD disclosures. Operators remain responsible for their own reporting and submission decisions.

Yes. Well Checked can integrate the Zensory.ai™ monitoring platform with existing SCADA systems so alerts, emissions information, and operational insights appear within established control-room workflows. This helps teams retain familiar response processes while adding continuous field intelligence. Integration planning can define alert routing, escalation rules, dashboard needs, and the data required for operational or compliance review.
