Saudi Aramco and GHGSat have joined forces to address methane emissions. After a successful pilot program, GHGSat was contracted by Aramco to monitor methane emissions across key upstream facilities and infrastructure. This partnership will leverage GHGSat’s state-of-the-art satellite technology to track emissions, helping Aramco pinpoint leaks, understand their causes, and take swift action to resolve them.
World Oil, a trusted publication for oil and gas professionals since 1916, recently featured GHGSat’s role in revolutionizing methane monitoring through space-based sensor technology. The article highlights how GHGSat’s Satellite Constellation is providing Aramco with detailed and accurate insights into methane emissions within its in-kingdom operations. This follows a successful trial in 2021, where the technology was tested across seven of Aramco’s upstream and downstream facilities.
As part of its ongoing commitment to reduce methane emissions and sustainability goals, Aramco is exploring cutting-edge satellite-based technologies to enhance monitoring efforts. Satellites offer an opportunity for the oil and gas industry to complement its legacy practices in detecting leaking equipment. By offering more frequent, high-accuracy observations, satellites complement traditional detection methods, giving operators the timely insights they need to prevent leaks and improve overall emissions management.
This partnership shows how innovation in technology can support oil and gas operators with better insights and improve the mitigation of methane emissions.
