Methane Emissions
Product Overview
Overview
Xplorobot delivers a cutting-edge methane detection, quantification, and compliance platform designed to meet and exceed global emissions regulations. With its EPA-approved handheld Laser Gas Imager, the company combines advanced Tunable Diode Laser Absorption Spectroscopy (TDLAS) and AI-powered software to detect, visualize, and quantify methane emissions with unparalleled accuracy. The intuitive and scalable solution reduces costs by 30-50% compared to traditional methods, while its AI-driven platform generates detailed emissions data and visualizations to streamline compliance reporting. Deployed across 53 operators in 2,429 facilities worldwide, Xplorobot empowers efficient, cost-effective emissions monitoring, enabling regulatory compliance and advancing environmental sustainability.
Business Model
Xplorobot provides transparent and competitive pricing designed to meet the needs of operators of all sizes. Pricing includes:
$150 per single well pad
$300 per multi-well pad
$600 per compressor station
These fees encompass site inspections, automated regulatory reporting, and secure digital data storage. This approach ensures cost predictability, making Xplorobot’s solutions accessible and affordable for operators across the industry.
Technology Innovations
Xplorobot’s solution is the first ever EPA-approved handheld methane detection device as an Alternative Test Method (ATM). Key technological innovations include:
Cost-Effective and Scalable Saves 30% to 50% on LDAR programs with low hardware costs, immediate leak alerts, repair tracking, and automated compliance reporting.
Ease of Use Requires only three hours of training and no certification, allowing any operator to quickly integrate it into daily workflows.
Component-Level Precision Uses machine learning to capture and identify every component, ensuring no missed inspections and precise detection.
Autonomous Mapping Combines real-time data capture with GPS-based mapping for efficient and accurate inspection results.
Digital Compliance Securely stores inspection records, providing a digital audit trail for seamless compliance and protection against penalties.
Applications
Xplorobot addresses the high costs of traditional LDAR services by offering a cost-effective and scalable methane detection and mitigation solution. With tightening global regulations such as OOOOa/b/c, Subpart W, OGMP 2.0, and EU directives mandating more frequent and precise monitoring, operators are under increasing pressure to comply.
Xplorobot bridges critical gaps in labor efficiency, component-level precision, and affordability, empowering operators to effectively identify and mitigate emissions while reducing operational costs and ensuring compliance with stringent regulations. The Xplorobot Laser Gas Imager requires only three hours of training, enabling field workers to seamlessly integrate emissions monitoring into their daily workflows to meet regulatory demands in the most labor-efficient and cost-effective way.
