Envana co-lead director Nagaraj Srinivasan stated: “We are excited to strengthen our position as a leader in emissions and carbon management by integrating critical scientific and operational capabilities.

“These advancements will empower operators to achieve their methane mitigation targets, fulfil their sustainability objectives and uphold their ESG [environmental, social and governance] commitments with greater efficiency and impact.”

With the DOE methane mitigation grant, Envana aims to expand its AI and physics-based models.

The project will enhance these models by combining production facility sensor data with methane monitoring sensors, improving the accuracy of methane emissions data and enabling more efficient remediation methods.

This initiative will see the Envana’s emissions management suite emerge as the first solution in the industry to deliver a complete inventory of greenhouse gas emissions.

Designed specifically for oil and gas sector workflows, the suite will enable operators to implement a holistic approach to emissions management covering planning, operations and reporting, while facilitating meaningful advancements in mitigation strategies.

Furthermore, Envana plans to foster partnerships with local universities and organisations. These collaborations are intended to advance understanding of methane emissions, increase transparency, and contribute to workforce development and environmental initiatives.
