About
SeekOps is an industrial emissions monitoring company that fuses award-winning drone hardware with AI-driven data analytics to deliver comprehensive methane Leak Detection and Quantification (LDAQ®) services. At the core of the solution is SeekIR®, an independently validated, high-sensitivity infrared sensor purpose-built for demanding industrial environments and mounted on autonomous enterprise-grade drones. The SeekOps platform covers the full emissions workflow: detection, attribution, quantification, and reporting & reconciliation. Its proprietary data analytics software turns raw sensor readings into actionable ESG reports, enabling operators to prioritize repair responses and validate carbon credits. Ruggedized for both onshore and offshore deployments, the solution is engineered for repeatable, automated inspection workflows that outperform traditional manual LDAR methods in speed and accuracy. SeekOps serves four primary markets—Oil & Gas, Renewable Natural Gas, Waste Management, and Utilities—helping industrial operators ensure asset safety, meet or exceed regulatory requirements (OGMP 2.0, EU Methane Reg), maximize product sales and carbon credits, and reduce their overall carbon footprint. The technology has been independently validated and recognized as best-in-class by leading industry testing bodies, making it a trusted choice for global industrial decarbonization and sustainability initiatives.
Key Features
- SeekIR® High-Sensitivity Sensor: Independently validated infrared sensor designed specifically for industrial methane detection, delivering sub-PPM accuracy in the most demanding field environments.
- Autonomous Drone Deployment: Enterprise-grade autonomous drones carry the SeekIR® sensor to execute repeatable, consistent inspection workflows without manual intervention.
- Full LDAQ® Workflow: End-to-end methane Leak Detection, Attribution, Quantification, and Reporting & Reconciliation in a single integrated platform.
- Proprietary Data Analytics Software: Converts raw emissions measurements into actionable reports that prioritize repair response and support carbon credit validation and ESG disclosures.
- Regulatory Compliance Support: Enables compliance with voluntary and mandatory programs including OGMP 2.0 and the EU Methane Regulation for onshore and offshore operations.
Use Cases
- Oil and gas operators conducting routine LDAR inspections at wellpads, compressor stations, and processing facilities to meet EPA and OGMP 2.0 requirements.
- Renewable natural gas (RNG) producers monitoring biogas upgrading infrastructure for fugitive methane emissions to validate sustainability claims.
- Municipal landfill and waste management operators quantifying surface emissions to meet regulatory thresholds and identify high-emission zones for remediation.
- Utility companies performing baseline emissions surveys of pipeline networks to support ESG disclosures and decarbonization targets.
- Industrial operators seeking to maximize carbon credit revenues by generating independently validated emissions reduction data for voluntary carbon markets.
Pros
- Independently Validated Accuracy: SeekIR® technology has been tested and recognized as best-in-class by leading industry bodies, giving operators confidence in measurement data for regulatory submissions.
- Automated & Repeatable Workflows: Autonomous drone deployment eliminates human variability, enabling consistent, high-frequency inspections across large or remote asset footprints.
- Comprehensive Emissions Coverage: A single platform handles detection through reporting, reducing the need for multiple vendors and simplifying ESG data management.
- Cross-Sector Applicability: Proven across Oil & Gas, Renewable Natural Gas, Waste Management, and Utilities, making it versatile for diverse industrial operators.
Cons
- Enterprise Pricing: As a specialized industrial service with proprietary hardware, SeekOps is priced for enterprise clients, making it less accessible for smaller operators or one-off inspections.
- Service Territory Limitations: Drone-based field operations depend on SeekOps' geographic service territory, which may not cover all international markets or remote locations.
- Hardware Dependency: The solution requires physical drone deployment, so it is not a purely software-based tool and requires coordination for site access and regulatory flight approvals.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is LDAQ® and how does SeekOps perform it?
LDAQ® stands for Leak Detection and Quantification. SeekOps performs it by flying autonomous drones equipped with its SeekIR® sensor over industrial assets to detect methane concentrations, attribute emissions to specific sources, quantify flow rates, and generate compliance-ready reports.
Which regulatory programs does SeekOps support?
SeekOps supports compliance with OGMP 2.0 (Oil & Gas Methane Partnership), the EU Methane Regulation, and other voluntary and mandatory emissions monitoring programs for the energy and waste sectors.
What industries does SeekOps serve?
SeekOps serves four primary markets: Oil & Gas (onshore and offshore), Renewable Natural Gas (RNG), Waste Management, and Utilities.
How accurate is the SeekIR® sensor?
The SeekIR® sensor is independently validated and has been recognized as best-in-class by leading industry testing bodies. It was originally designed for NASA applications before being adapted for industrial methane detection.
Can SeekOps help with carbon credits?
Yes. By accurately quantifying methane emissions that are detected and repaired, SeekOps provides the Measurement, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) data needed to maximize carbon credit claims and demonstrate emissions reductions.
