What is OGMP 2.0 methane reporting?

OGMP 2.0 (Oil & Gas Methane Partnership 2.0) is the UN Environment Programme's voluntary methane reporting framework, requiring tiered measurement-based accounting of methane emissions from oil and gas operations. OGMP 2.0 has five reporting levels of increasing granularity, with the highest level requiring site-level measurement and reconciliation. Vatsa builds platforms that handle multi-source methane reconciliation — combining OGI surveys, continuous monitors, satellite data, and engineering estimates into auditable reports.

EPA OOOOb/c are the EPA regulations (NSPS OOOOb for new sources, EG OOOOc for existing sources) that establish methane and VOC emission standards for the oil and gas sector. They require fugitive emission monitoring, equipment-specific controls, and granular reporting. Operators must implement LDAR programs with verified repair workflows — exactly the work that Vatsa's methane platforms support.

How does AI improve environmental compliance?

AI improves environmental compliance by detecting emission anomalies before they become exceedances, attributing detected plumes to specific equipment using wind and layout data, predicting analyzer drift before it causes data invalidation, and reconciling satellite-to-ground methane detections to focus field crews. Vatsa builds these models with explainability and regulatory defensibility in mind.

Which environmental services industries does Vatsa serve?

Vatsa serves natural gas utilities (distribution integrity, leak surveys, methane reporting), oil & gas operators (upstream and midstream emissions, flare monitoring, LDAR, EPA Subpart W and OGMP 2.0), landfill operators (surface emission monitoring, gas collection, Subpart QQQ), wastewater facilities (treatment telemetry, NPDES reporting, biogas), and air quality networks (ambient monitoring, community sensor deployments).

Can Vatsa help with multi-jurisdiction environmental reporting?

Yes. Vatsa builds environmental compliance platforms with jurisdiction-aware data models that can generate EPA Subpart W, OGMP 2.0, EU methane regulation, and state-level reports from the same underlying dataset. The approach avoids double data entry by maintaining one authoritative data store with jurisdiction-specific calculation and reporting layers on top.

CEMS data has to be correct, complete, and defensible — every minute, every quarter, every audit.

What is a Continuous Emission Monitoring System (CEMS)?

What our CEMS platforms do

Data acquisition — reliable ingestion from analyzers with the time discipline and gap handling regulatory data requires.
Validation & QA/QC — automated daily calibration drift checks, span and zero validation, substitution data per 40 CFR Part 75 and Part 60.
Regulatory reporting — reports for EPA, state, and EU regimes — including ECMPS submission where applicable.
Operational visibility — live dashboards for plant operators showing emissions relative to permit limits.

What is preventive emission monitoring?

Anomaly detection on multivariate emission streams

FAQ · Environmental services

Environmental technology — frequently asked questions.

What is a Continuous Emission Monitoring System (CEMS)?: A CEMS is the analytical and software infrastructure that measures, validates, and reports emissions from industrial sources — typically NOx, SO2, CO, CO2, O2, opacity, and flow — on a continuous basis. CEMS data must meet strict EPA quality assurance requirements under 40 CFR Part 75 and Part 60. Vatsa builds CEMS platforms with automated calibration checks, substitution data handling, and ECMPS-compatible reporting.
