据EnergyYear网2021年11月2日伦敦报道，海王星能源集团今天宣布，该公司已与美国环境保护基金合作，在北海的一个海上平台上使用气体传感无人机测量甲烷排放。
这项为期5天的研究涉及无人航空系统工程公司Flylogix、无人机平台供应商Texo DSI和分析技术供应商SeekOps。
研究的主要目标是为测量海上环境中的甲烷排放建立一个准确的基准。
海王星能源集团负责欧洲运营副总裁皮特·琼斯说：““减少甲烷排放对实现《巴黎协定》的目标至关重要，鉴于甲烷排放的寿命很短，我们知道今天采取有意义的行动可以在短短9年内带来积极的成果。”
“与行业平均0.23%的甲烷排放量相比，海王星能源集团的甲烷排放量为0.01%，是该行业中甲烷排放量最低的公司之一，并设定了到2030年前实现甲烷净零排放的目标。”
据悉，此次研究结果将在2022年发表在一篇同行评审的论文中。

UK study launches first methane-sensing drones
Neptune Energy Group has teamed up with Environmental Defense Fund to measure methane emissions using gas-sensing drones on an offshore platform in the North Sea, the E&P company announced today.
The five-day study on the Cygnus gas production facility involved unmanned aviation systems engineering company Flylogix, drone platform provider Texo DSI and analytics technology provider SeekOps.
The key objective was to establish an accurate benchmark for measuring methane emissions in offshore environments.
“The abatement of methane emissions will be crucial in meeting the Paris Agreement goals and – given the short lifespan of methane emissions – we know that taking meaningful action today can bring positive results in as little as nine years,” said Pete Jones, vice-president of operations in Europe for Neptune Energy Group.
“Neptune already has one of the lowest methane intensities in the sector at 0.01%, compared with the industry average of 0.23%, and has set a target of net zero methane emissions by 2030.”
Results will be published in a peer-reviewed paper 2022.
