Methane Mitigation Simplified

Kuva Systems, a leader in camera-based methane emissions monitoring for the oil and gas industry, today announced its award of approx. $3 million (CAD 4,079,895) in federal funding from PrairiesCan through its Business Scale-up and Productivity Program. The award complements $5.7 million in funding Kuva recently received from prior investors. ‍

We are excited to see the new EPA Methane rules finally come out. After spending the weekend studying the 1,600 pages of rules here are some deeper thoughts on the rule and what it means for oil and gas operators:

We are pleased to announce that Kuva Systems, a leading solution provider for image-based continuous monitoring of methane and VOC emissions, and Montrose Environmental Group, Inc.’s (“Montrose”) (NYSE: MEG) Sensible Environmental Data Platform (Sensible EDP™), a leader in revolutionizing the way environmental data is managed and monitored, have collaborated to provide a comprehensive suite of environmental data technology to detect, locate and address methane and VOC emissions.

The upstream and midstream segment of oil and gas is diligently working to regain credibility as a source of clean energy. The energy transition is about transitioning to clean fossil fuels not transitioning away from fossil fuels. With emphasis on super emitter mitigation such as tanks, compressors and flares, with the addition of surveillance and improved AI, this integrated offer facilitates most of the needs of today's progressive operators. You have to see it to solve it.

Carlos Santamaria, our VP of Product Management and Monica Sippola, our Director of Business Development recently sat down with the Daily Oil Bulletin to discuss how Kuva Systems can enable upstream and midstream oil and gas companies to improve their operations and meet ESG and methane intensity goals with our cost-effective optical methane monitoring solution. “Tanks and unlit or underperforming flares have shown to be the majority of oil and gas methane emissions and our technology is particularly well suited to monitor those super-emitters,” Sippola says. Kuva’s vice-president of product management, Carlos Santamaria, says until now the conversation on tackling methane leaks has been dominated by voluntary emission reduction to address ESG factors. But going forward he believes the demand for Kuva’s monitoring system will be driven by governments across North America adopting more stringent requirements to eliminate methane emissions.

The transformation to a decarbonized economy means everything we produce, how we produce it and how we use it will need to be reinvented. This has set the stage for the greatest period of innovation in human history – and the companies that seize these transformation opportunities will drive outstanding job creation, growth and profitability.

The round is led by Climate Innovation Capital and co-led by Draeger, with participation from existing investors.

There’s a lot of talk about tackling climate change these days. If you listen to the media, you’d think that the solution is to electrify everything, but that’s meaningless if you do not have access to a clean, efficient, sustainable, low-cost way of generating electricity. However, not everywhere has adequate wind or sun resources, and with over 315 wind project rejections since 2015, and neither of those two being “available on demand”, natural gas is the only viable option for the foreseeable future. The goal, then, is to produce natural gas as cleanly as possible.

Join us from September 19 to 22 at the Marriott Houston Westchase at the American School of Gas Measurement Technology.

Continuous Monitoring of Methane Emissions with Infrared Cameras Gaining Momentum

The EPA has proposed far-reaching methane regulations that will have a major impact on the oil and gas industry. In this technical white paper published in World Oil magazine, Kuva's CEO Stefan Bokaemper and VP Business Development Robert Ward analyze how new technologies may help to reduce operators’ regulatory burden while detecting more emissions than periodic hand-held optical gas inspections while helping operators reduce emissions.
