Perspectum supported Pine Cliff Energy Ltd.’s AER-approved pilot Alternative Fugitive Emissions Management Program (Alt-FEMP) as the drone-mounted optical gas imaging (UAV-OGI) screening provider. The two-year program covered the 2023 and 2024 compliance years and used close-range quantitative optical gas imaging (QOGI) for follow-up surveys when emissions were identified.
Compliance Years in the Pilot Alt-FEMP Program
The pilot was executed within an AER-approved Alt-FEMP framework and documented through annual performance reporting.
The program combined UAV-based site-level screening with targeted QOGI follow-up when emissions were identified, with screening frequency defined by facility subtype within the approved program.
Aerial screening was used to identify site-level emissions, followed by ground-based QOGI to further localize and quantify emissions and distinguish fugitive from vented sources.
Screening, follow-up, and repair-related data were compiled for program performance reporting and ongoing methane-management decisions.
