Product Overview

Overview

SeekOps develops and fields advanced sensor technology to detect, localize, and quantify methane emissions through integrated drone-based systems. The Company has focused on developing smaller, miniaturized sensor technology to detect emissions and on packing those sensors in a variety of configurations on the ground, on vehicles, and on drones to maximize efficiency. The Company couples its sensor technology with a data analysis platform to provide customers with a comprehensive report on concentrations, location, sources, and magnitude of emissions.

Drone-mounted SeekIR sensor with the following specifications: tunable diode laser spectrometry, 40 ppb Sensitivity, <1 scf/hr leak rate detection at 300ft distance, localization to equipment level, lightweight sensor using less than 5W power

Data collected is data is uploaded to cloud for analysis by DevOps team and presented on user-only accessible dashboard in GIS-layer maps

Business Model

Field service offering only at this time; future planned sensor sales for integration on any commercially available drone platforms

Technology Innovations
  • Tuned to methane only – no other species will trigger detection
  • No intrusion/overflight into Zone 1 areas – flight pattern is perimeter orbit downstream of methane plume
  • Unaffected by snow, water, or equipment insulation
  • Onshore and offshore deployment
  • Rapid detection, localization, and quantification of emissions source with no false positives
  • Typical flights cover 15 well pads/day (vs. 3-6 well pads with OGI camera)
Applications
  • Provides methane detection, concentrations, location, sources, and magnitude
  • Drone-based detection
  • Vehicle-based detection
  • Ground sensors
