Danish green technology company Explicit ApS has signed a multi-million-euro contract with Equinor to carry out a methane monitoring study on the Norwegian continental shelf . This agreement involves the use of advanced drones for the detection and quantification of the greenhouse gas at both offshore and land-based facilities.
A key step in reducing emissions
Equinor , committed to sustainability and the energy transition, has opted for Explicit ApS technology to improve its environmental monitoring. The Danish company will use its patented drone flow measurement (DFM) method, an ISO-recognised technique that enables the tracking of fugitive emissions with high precision.
The scope of the contract includes the analysis of 39 offshore platforms on the Norwegian continental shelf and three onshore installations, with the aim of providing detailed data on methane release and assessing the efficiency of flares in burning off waste gases.
Strategic expansion in Norway
To support this and future projects, Explicit ApS has announced the opening of new offices in Norway , joining its offices in Denmark, Germany and Australia. The company seeks to consolidate its presence in the Scandinavian country and strengthen its ability to respond to the growing demand for environmental monitoring with drones.
This is a crucial step forward for our company. The ability to accurately measure and quantify methane emissions is critical to reducing environmental impact and helping companies meet their sustainability commitments.
Jon Knudsen, CEO of Explicit ApS, said: “The importance of this contract was highlighted by the company.
Innovation in methane monitoring
The implementation of this technology is part of Equinor’s initiative within the United Nations Oil & Gas Methane Partnership 2.0. By using “tracking drones”, the study will allow the detection of the main sources of emissions and propose strategies for their mitigation.
In addition, this project will have the collaboration of Cyberhawk Innovations Ltd., a British company specialized in the operation of drones for industrial inspections , ensuring maximum efficiency in data collection and analysis.
A commitment to sustainability
Monitoring and quantifying methane emissions has become a priority for the energy industry . Equinor is strengthening its greenhouse gas reduction strategy with this contract, ensuring continuous and detailed monitoring of its assets.
With this alliance, Explicit ApS continues to position itself as a key player in environmental monitoring technology, while Equinor advances its commitment to the energy transition and the reduction of its carbon footprint.
