Telops Submits Its Gas Mapping Method to the EPA for Approval

PRESS RELEASE
QUÉBEC, CANADA, JULY 22, 2024

Telops, part of Exosens, has submitted its application for approval as an oil and gas alternative test method to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). This submission covers all detection sensitivity tiers under the agency’s latest methane detection regulations in 40 CFR Part 60. The final OOOOb and OOOOc rules provide emissions guidelines for existing infrastructure, as well as for new, modified and reconstructed sources. These regulations include leak detection survey requirements for emissions detection at oil and gas facilities, along with a new pathway for using advanced detection technologies to meet compliance standards.

Telops’ Methane Airborne Detection Services offer high-precision and real-time results. Our state-of-the-art infrared hyperspectral camera, integrated into multiple aircraft types, can detect methane and other gases under all condition, day or night, even in the presence of water or snow on the ground.
As oil and natural gas operations remain the largest industrial source of methane pollution in the U.S., operators will soon be able to choose Telops technology, without requiring additional approval.
