Arolytics partnering with FluxLab to Reconcile Measurement-Based Methane Inventories in the Oil & Gas Sector
Arolytics is proud to announce an exciting new partnership with FluxLab at St. Francis Xavier University, led by Dr. David Risk, to take on the challenge of building robust measurement-informed inventories for oil and gas emissions management. As one of North America’s largest academic research groups in this area, this partnership enables cross-collaboration between leading university research, and the real-world solutions being delivered via Arolytics.
This collaborative research project, steered by Dr. Nadia Tarakki, focuses on developing advanced frameworks to reconcile different methane measurement methods aligned with international standards, such as GTI’s Veritas Protocol and UN’s OGMP 2.0. By combining top-down (for example, satellite and aerial sensors) and bottom-up (source level/on-site) measurement techniques, the goal is to create accurate, measurement-informed inventories that will align with international standards and help the oil and gas industry quantify emissions.
Why is this important? It is imperative to achieve accurate quantification of emissions, which requires multi-scale methane measurements using various technologies. Building off of existing frameworks for measurement-based reporting, this project will develop tools to support the automation and reconciliation of diverse methane measurement methods to create accurate methane inventories. The outcomes, which will become part of Arolytics' emissions software tools, will improve the reliability of emissions reporting for the oil and gas sector.
As leaders in methane management, Arolytics and FluxLab are committed to advancing the oil and gas industry’s capabilities in emissions reduction. This partnership is about empowering companies with the tools they need to defensibly and accurately report methane emissions.
We are grateful for the support from Mitacs on this project.
About Arolytics
Arolytics’ software and modelling solutions enable oil and gas companies to accelerate methane reductions by forecasting, managing, and tracking measured emissions data within a holistic platform, integrating data from any 3rd party sensor. Our solutions support the move towards a measurement-based inventory, driving transparent understanding and targeted methane mitigation.
About FluxLab
Whether by foot, truck, drone, robot, plane, or satellite, FluxLab works to improve the measurement of greenhouse gases. We’re largely focused on energy and waste sector emissions, where we aim to provide information and solutions that will help North America’s energy and waste sectors achieve methane emission reductions.
