Abstract: In some configurations, a supply-chain characteristic-vectors merchandising system and a method for an environmental characteristic-vectors of a gas communicating from an upstream amenity to a downstream amenity in a supply-chain may be disclosed. The system may be configured to track oil and/or gas throughout the supply-chain by associating characteristic-vectors (e.g., environmental, operational, physical etc.) of the upstream amenity and the downstream amenity with the energy units of the gas transmitted through the supply-chain.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for detecting and reporting pollution at an oil facility are disclosed. The technology utilizes a logic control system to read from a pollution sensor and present the sensed data as a pollutant from a leak. The pollution leakage can be further managed and reduced.

Abstract: Methods and systems for detecting human presence in an outdoor monitored site are disclosed. In an configuration, the method may include providing at least three transmitters for transmitting radio signals and at least three receivers for receiving radio signals. Channel state information (CSI) data is extracted from the radio signals. The CSI data include phase values and amplitude values. The CSI data is converted into an image representation map and then a surface map is generated using Machine Learning (ML) networks. The surface map is a representation of correspondence between the image representation map and a 3-dimensional (3D) surface associated with a human body.

Abstract: In one illustrative configuration, a system and method of air quality monitor minimization/optimization is disclosed. The method may include providing at least a first air quality monitor on a site. The first air quality monitor may be configured to generate a first set of attached parameters. The method may further include providing a SCADA system, on the site, configured to generate a set of SCADA data. The SCADA data, the first set of attached parameters may be processed to determine a redundant/sub-optimized air quality monitor, which may be removed. In other illustrative configurations, the system and method may be utilized to locate and/or quantify emissions.

Abstract: In one illustrative configuration, a method of locating an emission source of a target substance at a site is disclosed. The method may include obtaining predicted substance concentrations of the target substance from a prediction model to generate a mapping of a weighted mean of the plurality of the predicted substance concentrations grouped in a predetermined number of feature groups. A simulated plume model is generated for each emission source present at the site to calculate representative circular normal distributions for each air quality monitor. By performing an analysis of the plurality of representative circular normal distributions in relation to the mapping, a target emission source is identified.

Abstract: In an illustrative configuration, a method for monitoring air quality is disclosed. The method includes accepting analyte gas into a cell and reflecting light rays into the analyte gas repeatedly across the cell into at least one sensor. The light scattered by particulate matter in the analyte gas and amount of spectra-absorption due to presence of a gaseous chemical is then measured. Based on the determined amount of spectra-absorption and the measured scattered light the gaseous chemical is then measured.

Abstract: In one illustrative configuration, an air quality monitoring system may enable wide-scale deployment of multiple air quality monitors with high-confidence and actionable data is provided. Further, the air quality monitoring system may enable identifying a target emission from a plurality of potential sources at a site based on simulating plume models. The simulation of plume models may take into consideration various simulation parameters including wind speed and direction. Further, methods of determining a plume flux of a plume of emissions at a site, and methods of transmitting data from an air quality monitor are disclosed.
