Efficient leak detection solution for monitoring fugitive emissions and leaks

摘要

FLIR Systems has published a new application note that describes how an upstream oil & gas company has successfully implemented a continuous monitoring system for its oil pads, improving safety and reducing operating costs by 35%.Fugitive emissions and hydrocarbon leaks at an oil & gas site can cause devastating explosions if not caught at an early stage. Such problems are not only a risk to the facility, but also the surrounding community. The company drills on approximately 300 oil pads, all located in populated areas near homes and schools. If a leak was missed at one of their oil pads or caught too late, the company would be forced to evacuate thousands of people.
