Methane point instrument

Simple, low-cost methane monitoring. Best-in-class results at METEC.

The methane point instrument from SLB is designed for continuous monitoring at sites such as well pads and tank batteries. A network of fully calibrated point sensors, which can be quickly and easily self-installed on the site perimeter, measures methane concentrations and wind speeds and directions. This network is used in conjunction with an interpretation algorithm that is continuously updated to reflect the latest science.

The methane point instrument determines when emissions start and stop, where they come from, and quantitatively how large they are. Its performance has been proved through third-party tests conducted by the Methane Emissions Technology Evaluation Center (METEC), Colorado State University. Detailed test results are available on METEC’s website, where our methane point instrument is Solution S.

A small, high-precision device that installs in minutes

Our methane point instrument can be installed by your field crew in minutes without the need for specialized training or tools. The installation locations and number of instruments to mount are determined using an SLB proprietary algorithm that plans the optimal set up by evaluating the site layout and regional weather conditions. Typically mounted on existing infrastructure around the facility, built-in solar panels power the instrument, which seamlessly connects to the LTE-M cellular network. Once installed, it runs maintenance-free throughout a 10-year lifetime. It's also compatible with our intuitive, user-friendly methane digital platform, where your data is displayed with easy visualization and allows for customizable alerts.

With our methane point instrument, you can effortlessly implement continuous methane monitoring with accurate, validated measurements, simplicity of use, and scale across your entire organization.
