Emissions Monitoring & Regulatory Compliance Support

Perspectum supports operators, municipalities, and environmental teams with field inspection, measurement, and documentation programs configured around applicable emissions requirements. Our work can combine aerial screening, OGI and LDAR inspection, methane measurement, repeat inspections, mapped findings, and project reporting. For municipal solid waste programs, see our landfill methane monitoring services. The governing rule, approved method, inspection frequency, reporting format, and jurisdiction should be confirmed before mobilization.

FIELD-READY COMPLIANCE

From Regulatory Requirements to Field Execution

We translate defined monitoring obligations into practical aerial and ground inspection scopes, with clear deliverables and documented follow-up where required.

01 / OPERATOR INPUTS

Define the Requirement

Confirm the applicable regulation or approved alternative, affected assets, monitoring schedule, accepted instruments, inspection method, and required reporting records.

02 / PERSPECTUM FIELD SCOPE

Plan the Inspection

Define aerial or ground activities, sensor and instrument selection, Geographic Information System (GIS) asset references, mapped findings, and the agreed reporting package.

Screening is not quantification or compliance certification. Source localization, measurement, and repair verification are separate scope items. See our Pine Cliff Energy field program or the landfill survey preparation checklist for project examples and planning resources.

CANADIAN REGULATORY FRAMEWORK

Alberta Energy Regulator — Directive 060
The current edition of Directive 060 was released and became effective March 27, 2026. It sets requirements for flaring, incinerating, venting, and related upstream petroleum activities in Alberta.

British Columbia Energy Regulator — Methane Emissions Requirements
BCER methane regulations address primary upstream oil and gas sources including equipment leaks, pneumatic devices, compressor seals, glycol dehydrators, storage tanks, and surface casing vents. Amended requirements were phased in from 2024 and 2025.
