CASE STUDY
MethaneTrack™ Solves Emissions Challenges with Close-Proximity Monitoring Near Pump Jacks and Well Heads
Problem
There are significant challenges detecting and localizing methane emissions at the well head, as the methane gas dissipates at a distance 10 feet from the leak source.
Solution
NevadaNano’s MethaneTrack™ endpoints are certified intrinsically safe, allowing them to be secured directly on or adjacent to existing pump jack and well head infrastructure for real-time Close-Proximity Continuous Monitoring™ . The system notifies operators of the location and size of leaks, enabling fast repair and reducing exposure to fees.
Rapid Leak Detection & Notification
Real-Time Detection: Identified a significant issue other technologies failed to detect or localize.
Precise Repair Guidance: Pinpointed which pump jack shaft was producing fugitive emissions to dramatically speed up time to repair.
Results
- Fast Detection: Leak identified within minutes
- Sustainability Impact: Showed measurable progress toward facility’s environmental sustainability goals.
- Operational Efficiency: Dispatch team knew exactly where to go to repair. Reducing LDAR costs.
