LDAR Software for Continuous Methane Monitoring

LDAR software for continuous methane monitoring helps operators identify, validate, track, and manage potential fugitive methane events between traditional inspections. Rather than relying solely on periodic surveys, it centralizes data from connected field sensors and delivers alerts to operating teams. Well Checked’s platform combines optical gas imaging, video, acoustic sensing, and AI-assisted event filtering to support continuous wellsite awareness.

Continuous monitoring adds persistent visibility to an LDAR program by observing sites between scheduled inspections. When a potential event is detected, operators can receive near-real-time alerts, review supporting evidence, dispatch a response, and document the resolution workflow. This can help prioritize repairs, establish event duration, and maintain a more complete record than periodic snapshot surveys alone.

Zentinal Core™ is designed to evaluate multiple sensor streams and filter normal operating activity from potential fugitive anomalies. The platform uses an approximately two-day AI site-learning cycle to establish site-specific patterns, then applies configurable sensitivity and escalation rules. Alert tuning can also suppress known non-fugitive process events as operating baselines change, helping reduce unnecessary notifications.

Zensory.ai™ combines high-resolution video, Long-Wave Infrared optical gas imaging, and acoustic sensing in a multi-sensor monitoring stack. Video provides visual operational context, infrared imaging supports methane and VOC observation day or night, and acoustic intelligence can identify abnormal equipment sounds. Combining these inputs gives operators broader context than a single point-sensor or camera feed.

Yes. Well Checked offers SCADA integration services that bring monitoring alerts, emissions data, and operational insights into existing control-room workflows. Designated teams can receive validated-event notifications through the Well Checked Dashboard, email, text, and SCADA. Integration planning should account for the operator’s current architecture, alert-routing requirements, access controls, and escalation procedures.

The platform can deliver near-real-time alerts after Zentinal Core™ validates a fugitive gas event. Well Checked provides response-workflow templates, dispatch runbooks, and rapid-response protocols that support acknowledgement, dispatch, and mitigation within 24 hours. Actual response timing depends on site access, crew availability, safety conditions, repair scope, and the operator’s established incident-management process.

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

Yes. Zensory.ai™ uses onsite edge computing designed to operate independently of continuous communications, which is important for remote wellsite environments. Local processing supports ongoing monitoring and event analysis at the site, while available connectivity enables delivery of data and alerts to designated users. Deployment planning evaluates power, communications, equipment placement, and the operational objectives for each location.
