Case Study
Rebalancing Existing Technology
Challenges:
Operator had existing emissions monitoring technology deployed around its assets, but the deployment was largely driven by cost per Mcfe rather than risk. With two types of measurement already in place, the operator needed to optimize its allocation of resources and technology to reduce their emissions risk exposure.
Solution:
Project Canary conducted a thorough risk analysis to prioritize deployment on the highest-risk assets, particularly those with a higher probability of being super emitters. The operator transitioned from LOE-based decision-making to a risk-based approach, eliminating the use of satellites and adjusting the flyover frequency. Additionally, we trained lease operators to utilize the data effectively to streamline operations.
Impact:
Result:
Monitoring technology cost increased by less than one-penny per mcfe but this cost was offset over 5x by lower projected WEC exposure.
Case Study
Efficient Capital Deployment
Challenges:
The operator aimed to reduce risk of super emitters. They needed a more effective capital strategy to balance minimizing risk with overall emissions reductions.
Solution:
Leveraging Project Canary’s forecasting tools and risk assessments, the operator reallocated the budget, finding the right balance between more frequent measurements and equipment retrofits. The approach helped the operator reduce super emitters while lowering their base operating emissions.
Impact:
Result:
Lower cost per metric ton abated, and greater overall emissions reduction by balancing cost-effective continuous monitoring with replacing all pneumatics.
Case Study
Achieving OGMP 2.0 Level 4
Challenges:
The operator wanted to achieve OGMP 2.0 Level 4, requiring that they deploy the correct suite of measurement technologies, refine their source-level emissions inventory, and update their emission factors.
Solution:
Project Canary helped the operator by deploying and ingesting a tailored suite of technologies, including point sensors, integrated flyover data, and fixed Optical Gas Imaging (OGI) cameras. This comprehensive approach facilitated root-cause analysis of emissions sources and ensured the accuracy of the emissions inventory. As a result, the operator was positioned to achieve OGMP 2.0 compliance successfully.
Impact:
Result:
Refined inputs for simulated emissions (tanks, dehydrators, etc.) based on measurement comparison and tackled root causes of high-emissions rate intermittent emissions.
