Executive Summary
This report presents results from single-blind experiments evaluating the University of Calgary Rapid Vehicle-based Methane Emissions Mapping System (hereafter PoMELO), conducted at the Colorado State University Methane Emissions Technology Evaluation Center (hereafter METEC). PoMELO is a system for mapping emissions points on upstream oil and gas pads. The maps of emitting equipment are then used to guide close-range inspections, usually while onsite. Testing was designed to evaluate the ability for the PoMELO system to correctly identify both emitting and not emitting equipment.
