Remote Operations
Fully remote inspections eliminate the need for field crews for standard inspections.
Autonomous Methane Detection for Regulatory Compliance
EPA and state-compliant technology for oil & gas operations
Automated OOOOa/b surveying
Percepto autonomous drones are an official ATM for OOOOa & OOOOb surveying. Remotely inspect sites with OGI paylaod and AI-powered emission detection.
Meets state standards
In key basins, Percepto drones meet state required OGI surveying standards for drone-based inspections.
Precision detection
Percepto drones have undergone rigorous testing, with proven performance down to 100g/hr.
Ready for OOOOc
As an ATM for OOOOa & OOOOb, Percepto is positioned to meet state-required regulations for inspecting existing sources, when those come into effect.
Methane regulation
Compliance Overview
Existing Sources
Subpart OOOOa Subpart OOOOa governs sources constructed or modified between September 18, 2015, and December 6, 2022. As an ATM for OOOOa, Percepto drones can be used for OGI surveying for federal compliance with OOOOa.
Subpart OOOOc are Emission Guidelines (EG) that will replace OOOOa, and will be developed and implemented by individual states When OOOOc comes into effect, it will govern existing sources, constructed prior to December 6, 2022.
New Sources
EPA Subpart OOOOb provides New Source Performance Standards from new, modified,and reconstructed sources as of December 6,2022. As an ATM for OOOOb, Percepto drones can be used for OGI surveying for federal compliance with OOOOb.
Effective Date: OOOOb officially came into effect on May 7, 2024. Percepto's solution is designed to align with these updated requirements, ensuring our clients remain compliant.
State-defined Standards
Percepto's autonomous OGI solution is not only federally compliant but also meets specific state-level regulations, including those from the New Mexico Environment Department (NMED) and the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE).
- NMED: Our system meets the leak detection and repair (LDAR) requirements and reporting protocols mandated by NMED's methane regulations, providing the granularity and frequency of data collection needed for compliance.
- CDPHE: We meet Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment's standards for OGI surveying, and can be leveraged in Colorado for regulatory inspections in the state.

FAQs
Methane compliance & Percepto
Is Percepto compliant with OOOOa?
Yes, Percepto’s solution may be used as an alternative test method for EPA Subpart OOOOa.
What field presence is required to deploy and maintain the system?
Percepto enterprise services deploy and maintain the system in the field. During day-to-day operations, no field presence is required to operate the system.
Does Percepto meet state requirements in other states, including Texas and California?
Percepto meets state defined standards for aerial OGI surveying in New Mexico and Colorado. In states that do not have clearly defined standards for aerial OGI surveying, Percepto works directly with regulators and operators to determine the most efficient way to meet OGI surveying requirements.
