    AI-powered emissions monitoring is helping oil and gas companies detect, quantify, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions to meet increasingly stringent ESG targets.

    The ESG Imperative

    Oil and gas companies face mounting pressure from regulators, investors, and the public to reduce emissions. AI Emissions Monitoring provides the visibility and accuracy needed to meet these commitments.

    Methane Detection with AI

    Methane Detection AI uses multiple technologies enhanced by machine learning:

  1. Satellite imagery analysis - AI processes satellite data to identify methane plumes across vast areas
  2. Drone-mounted sensors - automated flight paths with AI-powered leak localization
  3. Fixed sensor networks - continuous monitoring with predictive analytics
  4. Acoustic detection - AI identifies the sound signatures of gas leaks

    5. ESG AI Solutions for Energy

    ESG AI Solutions extend beyond emissions monitoring:

  5. Carbon footprint tracking - automated Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions calculation
  6. ESG reporting automation - generating regulatory reports aligned with TCFD, SASB, and GRI
  7. Water usage optimization - AI-driven water recycling and treatment in operations
  8. Biodiversity monitoring - computer vision for wildlife and habitat impact assessment

    9. Quantifiable Results

    A major integrated oil company deployed NeoBram's emissions monitoring AI:

  9. Methane leaks detected 80% faster than manual inspection
  10. Emissions reporting accuracy improved from 70% to 96%
  11. Total methane emissions reduced by 45% in the first year
  12. $30M saved in potential regulatory penalties
  13. ESG ratings improved by 2 tiers

    14. Regulatory Landscape

    With the EPA's methane regulations, EU CSRD, and SEC climate disclosure rules, accurate emissions data is no longer optional. AI provides the granularity and timeliness that manual methods cannot match.
