INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Percepto, a company known for its autonomous inspection tech, has launched an AI-powered emission detector that allows remote, drone-based
methane surveying at scale
Already being used in major oil-producing regions across the US, this new system could make emissions tracking faster, easier, and more
cost-effective for energy operators.At the core of the solution is a smart algorithm that detects methane in real time
Using fully autonomous drones that fly scheduled missions, the system captures Optical Gas Imaging (OGI) video
These include precise geolocation, timestamps, and environmental context, helping operators act quickly and effectively without sifting
through massive amounts of raw data
The system is sensitive enough to detect emissions as low as 100 grams per hour with 90% confidence, even down to the component level.Beyond
just spotting leaks, the system also helps companies meet regulatory requirements
With new EPA Subpart OOOOc rules on the horizon for 2026, regular and reliable methane monitoring is becoming essential
The platform allows operators to make smarter decisions about maintenance and capital spending
By increasing inspection frequency without adding boots on the ground, companies gain a clearer picture of their operations, while also
