Oil & Gas
Upstream · Midstream · Downstream
AER-approved emissions monitoring across the full oil & gas chain — from wellsite heaters to refinery stacks — without the cost of physical CEMS.
Equipment Coverage
Industry Challenges
Problems We Solve
Remote & Distributed Sites
Compressor stations, wellsites, and gas plants are spread across vast areas — making physical CEMS maintenance costly and logistically challenging.
Multi-Stack Complexity
Large facilities operate dozens of emission sources simultaneously — heaters, flares, thermal oxidizers — each requiring independent monitoring.
Fugitive & Vented Emissions
Beyond combustion sources, fugitive methane and routine venting create reporting obligations that traditional CEMS cannot address.
Capabilities
Oil & Solutions
Multi-Gas PEMS
Real-time predictive monitoring of NOₓ, CO, CO₂, SO₂, and VOCs from combustion sources using existing process sensors — no physical analyzers required.
Upstream Monitoring
Gas plants, compressor stations, and well pads — monitor flaring, venting, and combustion equipment emissions across distributed upstream operations.
Midstream Operations
Pipeline compressor stations and processing plants — fugitive emissions monitoring and compressor performance optimization with AI analytics.
Downstream Compliance
Refineries and petrochemical plants — multi-stack monitoring for complex downstream operations with automated regulatory reporting.
Energy Optimization
Pair ES-PEMS™ with ES-OptiEnergy for closed-loop optimization — reduce fuel consumption while maintaining emissions compliance targets.
Flare Monitoring
AI-powered flare combustion efficiency estimation and emissions quantification — replacing conservative emission factor approaches with real-time intelligence.
