Collaboration to Deliver Comprehensive Emissions Solutions to Oil and Gas Operators

Calgary, AB and Sunnyvale, CA – July 18th, 2024 – A new partnership between leading methane management companies will deliver comprehensive, data-driven emissions management solutions to the oil and gas industry. SensorUp, a leader in methane emissions and data integration solutions, and Insight M, the energy industry’s leader in aerial methane detection, have joined forces to help operators streamline their methane emissions reduction efforts and address critical environmental, operational, and business challenges. Insight M customers will gain access to SensorUp’s emissions management portal, and SensorUp will integrate Insight M’s methane detection data.

The collaboration enhances methane emissions management through advanced detection and comprehensive data integration — providing a streamlined solution for oil and gas operators often inundated by too many varied data streams. Insight M helps operators take a pragmatic approach to managing their methane emissions, providing evidence-based emissions solutions that maximize operator profits and generate proof of methane performance. When combined with SensorUp’s robust platform, which enables prompt identification and management of emissions, the resulting offering will deliver a more holistic and accurate view of methane performance for oil and gas operators. This integration improves operational efficiency by eliminating data silos, automating data management, and enhancing team coordination, leading to faster, more effective responses to methane leaks, reduced operational costs, and minimized downtime.

The combined solutions provide immediate and long-term benefits. They are cost-efficient and scalable, growing with businesses and optimizing resource use and strategic planning. 

Both companies agree that the partnership provides significant advantages for oil and gas companies:

  • Enhanced Detection and Monitoring: High-frequency aerial detection of methane and comprehensive data integration improve accuracy and reliability, providing oil and gas companies with detailed emissions analyses.
  • A New Insights Portal: Insight M customers can access an emissions management portal to access and visualize their Insight M data. 
  • Expanded Market Reach: The partnership allows both companies to reach and support a broader customer base in midstream and upstream sectors and gain greater visibility in the methane emissions management market.
  • Streamlined Data Integration and Workflow Optimization: Customers will benefit while using SensorUp by seamlessly connecting to Insight M and a broad range of data sources, integrating SAP, IBM Maximo, and other ERP systems to streamline workflows such as field tasking, maintenance, and reporting. This interoperability reduces departmental silos, incorporates SCADA data, and enhances remote troubleshooting and facility management, leading to efficient decision-making, reduced downtime, and regulatory compliance.

Partnering with Insight M significantly enhances our capability to deliver comprehensive and accurate emissions data. Their high-frequency aerial detection seamlessly integrates with our platform, allowing for faster and more efficient methane leak detection and mitigation,” said Dr. Steve Liang, CTO of SensorUp.

We are in constant pursuit of emissions solutions that help operators maximize their return on investment,” said Gregg Rotenberg, CEO of Insight M. This partnership will help our customers make their methane programs more profitable and empower them to prove the success of their reduction efforts.” 

We are pleased to see SensorUp and Insight M collaborating. SensorUp’s platform will enable operators to expedite repairs using the extensive datasets provided by Insight M, thereby reducing emissions and costs more efficiently. Integrating Insight M’s data with other sources on the SensorUp platform facilitates the transition from emissions factors to direct methane emissions measurement and streamlines compliance reporting.” said Daniel Palmer, Managing Director of Commercialization, Climate Investment.

Insight M joined the Powered By SensorUp” partner program, enabling third-party data and service providers to integrate their products and services into the SensorUp platform. This allows partners to display their branding within the SensorUp interface alongside the Powered By SensorUp logo, adding significant value to the platform and allowing them to resell SensorUp’s comprehensive emissions management solutions as part of their offerings. The program fosters innovation and collaboration and is open to companies worldwide, focusing on managing methane emissions and enriching the ecosystem for oil and gas operators.

SensorUp and Insight M are committed to ongoing innovation and collaboration and are excited about future possibilities. This partnership enhances both companies’ capabilities and sets a new standard for emissions management in the oil and gas industry, promising a future of continuous improvement and advancement.
