In March 2025, EPA approved Qube continuous monitoring as an alternative technology for periodic inspections under NSPS OOOOb/c ( and applicable to OOOOa). Here we detail how it works. Pick a 7-day window and a 90% PoD threshold. The 7-day block average either passes or fails, and crews conduct site inspections only upon fails. The results are less routine visits, faster repairs, and reduced costs across sites.

With the new Trump administration, methane regulations are in flux - but compliance remains essential. While some rules are being reviewed, others remain in effect, and operators need to stay prepared. Here’s a quick breakdown of what has changed (and what hasn’t) since Trump took office.

Evolving regulations demand operator compliance to ensure efficient and cost-effective operations. Qube, a leader in continuous methane monitoring, helps clients across industries, including oil and gas, meet these regulatory challenges.

The new methane rule enables operators to use approved advanced monitoring technologies, including continuous monitoring systems, to detect fugitive emissions. Qube’s platform meets and exceeds the technical requirements for using continuous monitoring systems under the rule.
