METHANE MONITORING AND DETECTION APPARATUS AND METHODS
A low cost, low power, passive optical methane monitoring system for fixed-position installation at oil and gas production well pads and gathering centers is disclosed. The optical methane monitoring system disclosed can be a scannable field of view Near Infrared (NIR) filter photometer to detect and quantify methane concentration in a two dimensional or a three dimensional grid above and around a facility. A randomized fiber optic bundle is disclosed that can be used to direct the total optical power from a collection lens to two or more isolated optical channels. Band pass filters isolate a desired wavelength range for transmission measurements for the two or more channels. Also disclosed is an absorption algorithm which accounts for variable background spectral intensity as well as correcting for water vapor and overall scattering effects to measure methane concentration for a given field of view.
