The Role of Cloud Computing in Methane Management

This event presents how these capabilities can be realized by leveraging the Microsoft cloud.

The Role of Cloud Computing in Methane Management

Regulatory and social pressures are increasingly driving oil and gas companies to adopt cost-effective technologies and practices that improve operational efficiency and reduce methane emissions. 2% of onshore production facilities and assets are responsible for over half of the production-related methane emissions.

Identifying and fixing the leaks in a small number of top emitters could go a long way toward reducing methane emissions in the US. Several advanced technologies such as satellite and aerial survey imagery, IoT sensor grids, and ground operated FLIR cameras can now be combined with predictive analytics, integrated technician scheduling, and ticketing systems to create automated regulatory reporting. This process significantly drives down operating costs, reduces regulatory compliance challenges, and helps build a strong brand through environmental stewardship.
