How Comstock Resources Built a Smarter LDAR Program with Aerial Monitoring

OGI surveys are the backbone of most LDAR programs. They are also periodic, labour-intensive, and expensive to run at scale. Between visits, intermittent leaks accumulate. Equipment fails quietly. The product is lost.

For producers operating under MiQ certification or preparing for third-party audits, meeting the minimum standard is not enough. Your data needs to be frequent enough, wide enough, and precise enough to defend when it counts.

Comstock Resources asked that question. This case study shows what they found.

“We were looking for a partner to deliver
reliable and timely emissions intelligence that
could support our MiQ certification and enhance
our established ground-based LDAR programs
and GHGSat delivered.”
– Keith Lorenz, Senior Environment Specialist, Comstock Resources

What’s inside

• How Comstock structured a multi-layer LDAR program that satisfied MiQ auditors without replacing their existing OGI operations
• What aerial monitoring identified that ground-based surveys had not detected
• How quickly field teams were able to act on survey data after each flight
• The financial case for faster leak detection, built from Comstock’s own results
• Why Comstock is expanding their DATA.AIR program beyond the initial campaign

If you run an LDAR program and want to know whether aerial monitoring can make it more defensible and more cost-effective, this case study gives you a real-world answer.
