Advanced Optical Gas Imaging (OGI) Cameras

Optical gas imaging uses specialized infrared cameras to visualize gases that are difficult or impossible to see with the naked eye. In oil and gas operations, OGI is commonly used to detect methane and VOC emissions. Well Checked Systems combines Long-Wave Infrared OGI, video, acoustic abnormal-sound detection, and AI validation to identify fugitive gas events and reduce false alarms.

OGI camera costs vary widely based on sensor type, deployment model, analytics, integration, and whether the system is handheld or continuously installed. Well Checked Systems provides pricing on request and offers pilot programs. Its Long-Wave Infrared approach is positioned at approximately one-third the cost of traditional mid-wave IR solutions while supporting continuous, autonomous monitoring.

Well Checked Systems uses Long-Wave Infrared Optical Gas Imaging within the Zensory.ai™ platform to monitor methane and VOC events continuously. The system pairs OGI with video and acoustic equipment monitoring, then applies AI-assisted validation through Zentinal Core™ to distinguish true fugitive emissions from normal site activity before escalating alerts.

Yes. The platform is designed to support LDAR programs with continuous records rather than periodic inspection snapshots. Data output supports EPA methane rule alternative-monitoring compliance submissions where recognized by the applicable state SIP or FIP, and emissions data can be structured for OGMP 2.0, SASB Oil & Gas E&P, and TCFD disclosure frameworks.

Zensory.ai™ learns site-specific operating patterns through an approximately two-day AI Site Learning cycle per site. Zentinal Core™ filters normal process activity from abnormal fugitive events, helping operators avoid unnecessary dispatches. This “work by exception” model is especially valuable for remote wellsite portfolios where excessive alerts can overwhelm field and control-room teams.

Alerts can be delivered through the Well Checked Dashboard, email, text, and SCADA integrations. When Zentinal Core™ validates a fugitive gas event, the operator’s designated dispatch team receives near-real-time notification. Well Checked also provides response-workflow templates, dispatch runbooks, escalation rules, and alert tuning to support acknowledge-dispatch-mitigate workflows within 24 hours.

Yes. Well Checked Systems provides SCADA Integration Services so emissions data, alerts, and operational insights can appear within existing control-room workflows. This helps operators avoid adding another disconnected point solution while giving production, HSE, and operations teams access to validated monitoring information through familiar systems.

The platform is available for US upstream oil and gas operators, including remote wellsite portfolios across major onshore producing regions. Confirmed deployment includes a 220-site program in the Appalachian Basin, with availability noted for the Permian Basin, Anadarko Basin, Bakken, Eagle Ford, Denver-Julesburg, San Juan Basin, and broader continental US regions.
