— First Recognition for a QOGI (Quantitative Optical Gas Imaging) Manufacturer —
Konica Minolta’s GMP Series models GMP02 & GMP03 have been added to MiQ’s list of recognized methane monitoring technologies. This marks the first time that a manufacturer providing QOGI (Quantitative Optical Gas Imaging) technology has been recognized by MiQ.
MiQ is a global not-for-profit organization dedicated to accelerating methane emissions reductions in the oil and gas sector by enabling transparent, independently verified emissions data that ensures accountability and incentivizes continuous improvement. Methane is a major driver of climate change, over 80 times more powerful than CO₂ over 20 years. Reducing methane emissions is widely regarded as one of the fastest and most effective ways to mitigate climate change.
The inclusion of Konica Minolta in MiQ’s ecosystem of technology partners confirms that the GMP Series models GMP02 & GMP03 have completed compatibility assessments to the MiQ Standard, and have been recognized as a trusted technology solution to support operators pursuing low-methane operations, and those aiming for MiQ certification.
The GMP Series models GMP02 & GMP03 deliver:
- ・Direct methane measurement enabled by advanced optical gas imaging and quantification technology,
- ・Accurate leak detection and real-time flow-rate estimation, supporting repair prioritization and improved understanding of leak volumes, and
- ・Data‑driven emissions management designed to support methane emissions reduction.
This measurement‑first approach also aligns with the principles of Oil and Gas Methane Partnership 2.0 (OGMP 2.0), a widely recognized global framework, supporting credible and actionable methane reporting.
Konica Minolta remains committed to supporting responsible energy production and will continue to contribute to the global acceleration of methane emissions reduction.
