TotalEnergies and Oil India sign pact on methane emissions detection

French energy giant TotalEnergies and state-owned Oil India Ltd (OIL) have signed a cooperation agreement to carry out methane emissions detection and measurement campaigns at OIL's sites. The collaboration will leverage TotalEnergies’ AUSEA technology, a pioneering gas analyzer mounted on a drone to detect methane and carbon dioxide emissions with unprecedented accuracy.

AUSEA, developed by TotalEnergies and its research partners, features a dual-sensor system capable of identifying emissions and pinpointing their sources. This breakthrough technology is seen as a significant advancement in the fight against methane emissions, allowing operators to monitor even the most hard-to-reach emission points across both onshore and offshore industrial facilities.

This partnership is aligned with OIL’s commitment to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. OIL has already joined the global Oil and Gas Decarbonization Charter (OGDC), a significant industry initiative co-chaired by TotalEnergies' CEO, with the ambition of reaching near-zero methane emissions and eliminating routine flaring by 2030.

TotalEnergies' AUSEA technology is already being deployed globally, with campaigns on every continent contributing to the OGDC’s mission. Patrick Pouyanné, Chairman and CEO of TotalEnergies, emphasized the growing momentum behind the OGDC and the important role of technologies like AUSEA in reducing global methane emissions.

Ranjit Rath, Chairman and Managing Director of OIL, expressed the company’s commitment to reducing emissions and highlighted the importance of collaborating with industry leaders like TotalEnergies to achieve these goals.
