Full Agenda

Friday, November 17, 2023
Webinar
Online

Flaring and methane emissions continue to be a major issue for the oil and gas industry, with Regulators paying increasing attention, and an area where there is a large amount of technological development.

In this webinar, we'll look at developments in monitoring, characterisation and measurement of both flaring and emissions using increasingly sophisticated sensors on satellites and drones(UAVs), and using lasers on land (either as fixed ground stations or carried by ‘walkers’).

We'll also focus on how the data from these systems can be integrated into companies' wider emissions monitoring, reduction and communications schemes - since the value of data depends on how easy it is to use.

Talk Description



Constellation of satellites – and collaboration between different available satellite systems – can provide more accurate insight to guide oil and gas operators in driving methane emissions reductions affordably and efficiently.

In October 2016, Jean-Francois joined GHGSat to help commercialize the products and services from their breakthrough satellites around the world and build the sales and marketing organization. He is now responsible for guiding the strategy of the company and leads corporate development activities.
