01. Lesson 1.00: Introduction

Hello, welcome to Methane Detection and Quantification Technologies Part 1: A Technology Deep-Dive. My name is Brendan Moorhouse.

02. Disclaimer

First the disclaimer. All content presented in the course belongs to Highwood Emissions Management and is subject to copyright protection. While we do our best to give you the most up-to-date information, any decisions that you make is based on your own decision making.

03. Introduction

So this course is designed for energy professionals seeking to better understand the methane detection and quantification technology landscape, a landscape that's rapidly evolving sort of every day. And participants may range from beginner to expert in need of a refresher of this landscape and how these technologies are used. Again, I'm Brendan Moorhouse. It's a half-day course, and the prerequisites for this we recommend are Fundamentals of Methane Emissions Management, Parts 1 and 2, which I took and it's very good.

04. Agenda

So the agenda today, Chapter 1 is introduction to methane measurement. Chapter 2, and these are sort of definitions we'll define as the course goes on, but Chapter 2 is source level solutions. And Chapter 3 is site/equipment level solutions, finalizing with Chapter 4, the future of methane measurement technology.

05. Housekeeping

Okay, just some quick housekeeping. If you're coming from methane fundamentals part 1 and part 2, you will have seen this housekeeping side. But if not, just some quick notes here. We love critical and constructive feedback and endeavor to improve our content, so please let us know what you think. We are technology and vendor agnostic. There's no silver bullet on the technology that we're gonna talk about today and we do not make endorsements. And sort of related to that, these are educated opinions in this course. There's much to learn. We do our best to stay up to speed, but like we talked about, it's a rapidly evolving landscape. Related to that, the methane space changes daily. We have attempted to include information that will not become quickly outdated, but that's not a guarantee. We'll try to update the course regularly, but some information may be outdated.

06. Instructor Background

A little bit about me. My name, again, is Brendan Moorhouse. My role at Highwood is the fugitive emissions lead. I'm a senior consultant supporting clients in methane technology deployment strategies. Some of this deployment guidance is for regulatory requirements, OGMP 2.0, MIQ, Veritas, and more. My experience is I have a BSc, specialization in geology, from the University of Alberta, and a graduate diploma in data science. I have 10 years or so experience in upstream oil and gas. I do want to give a big shout out to my colleagues Bruno Palma and Dr. Chris Nixon, who helped alot with this course, and by alot I mean probably most of it. Thank you to all others who contributed to this course, which is pretty much everyone on the team.

07. Company (Highwood) Background

Just a bit more background about Highwood, who we are, shaping the future of emissions management with trusted expertise and cutting-edge innovation. So the things that we bring is: A deep oil and gas expertise. We have 30+ committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and driving thought leadership; We're independent and agnostic (we spoke to that technology agnosticism on a previous slide). Active partnerships across the emissions ecosystem, and we support balanced perspectives; Trusted internationally. Preferred advisor for super-majors, IOCs and international regulatory bodies; We're on the cutting edge, leveraging expertise to optimize emissions management technology, practices, and policies; And finally, building the future. Working with strategic stakeholders to develop standards and data integrity needed to create value from emissions management.

08. Goals

So some goals from this course: Participants will develop a thorough understanding of methane detection and quantification technologies, including what is the range of these methane D&Q technologies and comparison of their performance, cost advantages and limitations; Evaluation of applications of the various methane detection technologies within the oil and gas sector, assessing their adoption and effectiveness in real-world scenarios; And finally an exploration of future opportunities for using these technologies and the measurements that they produce for voluntary disclosure and responsible gas certification, understanding the implications for industry practices and environmental responsibility. Yeah, thank you. That sort of gets all the housekeeping and introductory stuff out of the
way. Moving forward, let's dive in into Chapter 1.
