Methane Emissions Data Management and Event Tracking

Methane emissions data management is the process of collecting, organizing, validating, retaining, and using emissions information from field operations. A useful program connects detected events to timestamps, location, duration, response actions, and estimated volume. Well Checked Systems combines continuous monitoring with event validation and quantification so operators can use the resulting records for maintenance decisions, emissions inventories, compliance workflows, and ESG disclosures.

Event tracking provides a documented path from detection through acknowledgement, dispatch, mitigation, and closure. Rather than relying on an isolated alert, teams can see when an event began, which personnel were notified, what action was taken, and how long the event persisted. This structure helps operators prioritize work, evaluate response performance, and support a 24-hour acknowledge-dispatch-mitigate workflow for validated events.

Zensory.ai™ uses a multi-sensor approach that combines visual monitoring, Long-Wave Infrared Optical Gas Imaging, and acoustic intelligence. Zentinal Core™ evaluates signals across these sources and learns normal site conditions during an approximately two-day AI Site Learning cycle. This helps separate routine process emissions and expected activity from likely fugitive anomalies, reducing noise for operators and dispatch teams.

Yes. Continuous methane and VOC monitoring can complement LDAR compliance programs by identifying potential events between periodic surveys and preserving ongoing event records. Well Checked’s data structure supports detection, validation, response documentation, and quantification workflows. Operators should align their program design, monitoring method, repair practices, and reporting with applicable federal, state, and site-specific requirements before making compliance submissions.

Well Checked’s emissions data output is structured to support EPA methane rule 40 CFR Part 60 Subpart OOOOb alternative-monitoring compliance submissions, measurement-based OGMP 2.0 Level 4 and 5 reporting frameworks, and SASB Oil & Gas E&P and TCFD ESG disclosures. Final reporting obligations remain the responsibility of the operator, which should confirm the applicable requirements and submission approach.

Yes. Well Checked offers SCADA integration services that bring Zensory.ai™ alerts, emissions data, and operational insights into existing control-room workflows. Validated-event notifications can also be delivered through the Well Checked Dashboard, email, and text. Integration planning considers the available SCADA environment, alert-routing preferences, escalation rules, and the specific information operators need to act quickly.

After Zentinal Core™ validates a fugitive event, Zentinal IQ™ is designed to quantify emissions for a more defensible record of estimated loss. The resulting information can help teams understand event duration and volume, prioritize repairs, and assess maintenance return on investment. Quantification should be used within an operator’s approved reporting methodology and applicable regulatory requirements for the specific asset.

Well Checked serves US continental onshore upstream oil and gas producing regions. Confirmed deployment experience includes a continuous monitoring program in the Appalachian Basin, with availability in the Permian, Anadarko, Bakken, Eagle Ford, Denver-Julesburg, and San Juan basins. Deployment planning considers site power, communications, equipment layout, operational priorities, and the monitoring tier required for each portfolio.
