How Qube’s Continuous Monitoring Found Leaking Level Controllers After Well Restart

After a Colorado well pad restart, Qube devices detected elevated methane within hours (>100 kg/h) and triggered automated alarms, prompting immediate response. The LDAR team localized the problem to failed-open level controllers and several thief hatches, completed repairs, and Qube’s system verified emissions abatement.
