據海上工程師網2022年5月16日巴黎報道，法國能源巨頭道達爾能源公司5月16日在巴黎表示，該公司已在其全球所有上游油氣運營場所啟動了一項基于無人機的排放檢測和量化活動，以識別、量化并減少與運營相關的甲烷排放。

全球無人機甲烷檢測活動使用由道達爾能源公司、法國國家科學研究中心（CNRS）和蘭斯香檳阿爾登大學開發的AUSEA技術。AUSEA技術是用于環境應用的機載超輕型光譜儀的縮寫。

道達爾能源公司說：“AUSEA技術由一個安裝在無人機上的微型雙傳感器組成，能夠檢測甲烷和二氧化碳的排放，同時識別它們的來源。使用該技術可以在所有類型的工業設備上進行測量，無論是陸上還是海上。它補充了使用紅外攝像機、地面傳感器和衛星等傳統技術進行的測量。”

AUSEA技術在尼日利亞、意大利、剛果共和國和荷蘭成功測試后，今年將在道達爾公司運營的所有上游油氣站點推廣。這個項目在3月初開始在非洲的海上油田開展，目前已在南美洲啟動，并將于今年夏天抵達歐洲。這個甲烷檢測活動是實現到2025年前將公司運營場所的甲烷排放量減少50%、到2030年前減少80%（與2020年相比的目標）的重要一步。“

TotalEnergies Launches Global Drone-based Methane Inspection Campaign on All 

French oil major TotalEnergies said Monday it had launched a worldwide drone-based emissions detection and quantification campaign across all its upstream oil & gas operated sites, to identify, quantify, and reduce methane emissions linked to its operations.

The campaign uses AUSEA technology developed by TotalEnergies, the French National Research Center for Scientific Research (CNRS) and University of Reims Champagne Ardenne. AUSEA stands for Airborne Ultralight Spectrometer For Environmental Applications.

"AUSEA consists of a miniature dual-sensor mounted on a drone, capable of detecting methane and carbon dioxide emissions, while at the same time identifying their source.  Measurements can be taken at all types of industrial facilities, whether onshore or offshore, using this technology. It supplements measurements taken using traditional techniques such as infrared cameras, ground sensors, and satellite," TotalEnergies said.

"After being successfully tested at sites in Nigeria, Italy, the Republic of the Congo, and the Netherlands, AUSEA technology is being rolled out this year at all upstream Oil & Gas sites operated by TotalEnergies. The campaign began in early March for African offshore sites, has now been launched in South America and will reach Europe this summer. The campaign is an important step towards achieving a reduction of 50% in methane emissions at company-operated sites by 2025 and of 80% by 2030 (targets in relation to 2020)," TotalEnergies said.
