LLcloud’s multi-sensor orphaned oil and gas wells monitoring solution helps environmental agencies, governments, research labs and NGOs monitor methane and other emissions from abandoned oil and gas wells using a variety of sensor data and at different scales. It aids real estate and insurance companies track the progress of well plugging and land regeneration programs in areas with many abandoned wells and monitor land and house prices there.

Monitor methane emissions from oil and gas wells.
At different scales and with many sensors.
All in one platform.

Orphaned Oil & Gas Wells in the USA

There are over 115000 known orphaned wells in 27 American states for which data is available in the United States Documented Unplugged Orphaned Oil and Gas Well (DOW) dataset. It is estimated that there are hundreds of thousands of undocumented orphaned wells in the USA that need to be located and some researchers think they may be as many as 2-3 million.

Example of the orphaned wells locations from the DOW dataset in the state of Texas.

Our solution supports ingestion, visualsation and analysis of airborne (drone, UAV, piloted aircraft) data for well detection and monitoring.

All such multi-sensor data can be jointly displayed, fused and analysed in our solution to obtain more accurate well emission and status results.

Data Integration

Various satellites, aerial flyovers, and ground measurements with IoT and wearables sensors and cameras, can now help reveal and monitor the locations, scale, and frequency of methane emissions around the world.

Our solution provides integration of a multitude of detection, monitoring and analytics capabilities, which include:

  • Supports ground-based cameras, LiDARs, in-place IOT sensors and wearable data ingestion,
    visualization and analysis;

  • Gives the ability to ingest drone and piloted aircraft imagery in GeoTIFF format and other data for
    airborne well detection and monitoring;

  • AI trained well-area detector that can suggest possible unknown well locations based on airborne
    and satellite image analysis.

LLcloud's Multi-Sensor Oil & Gas Well Monitoring

Main Features & Benefits 

  • Ingest and integrate multiple sensor system data streams and text & image reports from the field to the cloud.

  • Perform cloud-based processing, 3rd party processing chains hosted.

  • Visualise geospatial data & information on the internet via standard web browsers.

  • Track all phases of orphan well application (detection, assessments, plugging, contracting, and follow-on inspections).

  • Save time and money having accurate up-to-date multi-sensor well analytics for different zones, counties, states and countries.

  • Automate your administrative processes with reports and statistics generated automatically, showing the well status, emissions, most recent developments, etc.

  • No software needs to be installed on your servers nor physical infrastructure installed in the port area to track vessels and obtain analytics, as it is a cloud solution working globally.

  • This business solution has been built entirely with LLcloud's multi-sensor platform, so we can further customise it to meet your specific needs and requirements.
