Pre-Conference Workshop Day: Tuesday, June 2, 2026

AI is rapidly being adopted across the energy sector, but many implementations fall short because the data feeding them isn’t fit for purpose. This operator-led workshop dives into how to prepare your organization’s data architecture and culture to truly leverage AI for emissions management. From SCADA integration to model training and operational deployment, participants will examine how to align data quality, access, and structure to unlock measurable impact from AI investments.

• Understand what “AI readiness” really means — and how to identify and prioritize the data needed for effective model training.
• Explore how to integrate AI tools with SCADA and operational data streams to support predictive and real-time emissions management.
• Learn from practical examples of how AI-driven insights are reducing methane and operational inefficiencies in the field.

As aerial technologies become integrated into methane detection strategies, the challenge is no longer just about obtaining and using the tools, it's about understanding the true detection capabilities of what you are using. We all know methane emissions are intermittent and difficult to quantify, making it crucial to evaluate the methodologies used and their accuracy. This workshop dives into the complexities of aerial detection, examining how to navigate its limitations and harness the data provided:

Join this workshop to:

• Understand detection limits and the precision of various aerial monitoring technologies
• Assess how drone technology can adapt to varying asset sizes and terrains, ensuring scalability across different sites
• Learn how the latest advancements in aerial gas mapping technologies can streamline detection processes and provide more accurate data
• Explore how real-time visual data supports rapid source identification and decision-making for emissions mitigation 

As methane programs mature, operators are moving beyond episodic surveys toward measurement informed, verification ready inventories that support operational decisions, credibility, and long term value. Yet many still struggle with how to build a fit for purpose continuous monitoring (CM) strategy that delivers representative site level data while managing uncertainty and integrating into real world operations.

This workshop presents a practical, operator-driven framework for building decision-grade methane inventories using continuous monitoring. Drawing on real deployments, we will demonstrate how combining fenceline monitoring, close-proximity sensing, and imaging diagnostics enables high-confidence detection, rapid root cause identification, and auditable quantification aligned with OGMP 2.0 Level 5 principles—independent of jurisdiction.

Attendees will leave with actionable guidance on:

• How to build a fit for purpose CM architecture based on site complexity and operational goals

• How CM improves temporal coverage, uncertainty management, and reconciliation

• Practical guidance on coverage based siting and integration into workflows

• How CM complements aerial and satellite data to create decision grade inventories.

In a recent market analysis, methane emissions experts from leading O&G companies reported that they spend most of their time on data management and cleaning. In the same study, those same operators wished they were instead spending their time on data analysis and planning. Today, most operators are collecting vast quantities of data, spanning asset inventories, source and site measurements, environmental data, process data, simulation data, and more. However, these data are often used for a single purpose and then forgotten. Data is siloed and operators do not have time to go back and analyze it to refine their strategy. This workshop will provide practical tools and strategies that participants can use to spend less time managing data, and more time analyzing it. It will focus on real-world case studies and examples that participants can translate to their own companies.

Learning outcomes:

• Learn how industry leaders are leveraging AI, process, digital systems, and other strategies to more efficiently transform data from unstructured to analysis-ready.

• Experience the value of contextualizing emissions, cost, and safety data for engaging with leadership, informing budgetary discussions, and determining strategic focal areas for mitigation.

• Participate in demonstrations and discussions that can help reveal gaps in your emissions data and better articulate the value of gathering more, better, or different data.

• See how operators are streamlining operations by using the same data for building measurement-informed inventories, regulatory reporting, internal and external disclosures, simulations, and broader intelligence.

Historically, continuous emissions monitoring systems (CEMS) have not been standard or widely accepted tools for OGMP 2.0 Level 5 measurement. However, as technologies mature and deployment experience grows, they are increasingly demonstrating strong potential to support high-quality, measurement-based inventories. Led by LongPath Technologies, this workshop will explore how continuous monitoring is evolving from a supplementary tool into a credible component of Level 5 reporting strategies. Through real-world deployment examples, participants will see how operators are using CEMS data today to enhance emissions visibility, reduce uncertainty, and strengthen confidence in OGMP-aligned inventories.

• Understand why CEMS has historically faced limitations within OGMP Level 5 and how those barriers are now starting to be addressed
• Evaluate where continuous monitoring can add value within current Level 5 methodologies and reporting workflows
• Identify practical lessons from real-world LongPath deployments that show how CEMS can complement OGI, aerial and satellite measurements
• Apply emerging best practices for integrating CEMS data into measurement-based methane inventories and mitigation strategies
