Envana secures US grant for emissions reduction

The funding is part of the DOE’s Methane Emissions Reduction Programme under funding opportunity announcement (FOA) 3256: Methane Emissions Reduction Programme Oil and Gas Methane Monitoring and Mitigation. The US$5 261 685 Envana grant comprises US$4 209 348 of federal funding and US$1 052 337 of non-federal funding.

Envana’s project, Software for Methane Leak Detection Using Supervisory Control & Data Acquisition (SCADA) Data to Guide Mitigation was selected as one of the solutions under Area of Interest 2c: Field Deployment of Emissions Reduction Technologies at Oil and Gas Production Facilities. This project will enable oil and gas operators, Tribes, and other entities nationwide to better reduce, monitor, measure, and quantify oil and gas methane emissions.

Envana offers a robust oil and gas GHG emissions management platform. By seamlessly integrating operational data with methane detection and measurement inputs from multiple sources, Envana delivers accurate emissions quantification and precise source attribution. These insights empower customers to enhance their Leak Detection and Repair (LDAR) programmes and implement effective emissions reduction strategies. Designed to align with international standards such as OGMP 2.0, the Envana platform supports customers in building comprehensive methane management systems and showcasing measurable progress toward their sustainability objectives.

With the grant, Envana will further expand its data-driven methane capabilities, advancing its innovative artificial intelligence (AI)/machine learning (ML) and physics-based models. The project will build on these models by integrating production facility sensor data with methane monitoring sensors. This effort aims to improve the accuracy and understanding of methane emissions while enabling faster and more cost-effective remediation through better insights and timely alerts.

As part of the project, Envana will further develop partnerships with local universities and organisations to improve methane emissions quantification and understanding, increase transparency for affected communities, develop internship programmes, support workforce development, and advance environmental causes.

PR Panigrahi, Managing Director, Head of Energy and Decarbonisation Investments at Siguler Guff ?and Envana co-lead director, added: "We’re thrilled to collaborate with Texas universities and industry associations to advance methane management. By leveraging advanced MRV insights and centralised data, we empower the oil and gas sector to reduce emissions, meet regulations, cut costs, and enhance product value, while fostering a future workforce dedicated to environmental protection."

As a result of this project, the Envana emissions management suite will become the industry's first solution to provide a comprehensive GHG inventory. Tailored specifically to oil and gas workflows, the suite will empower operators to adopt a full lifecycle approach to emissions management — spanning planning, operations, and reporting — while driving actionable progress in mitigation efforts.
