SUMIF: The Digital Intelligence Framework Transforming Methane Monitoring in Oil & Gas

SUMIF: The Digital Intelligence Framework Transforming Methane Monitoring in Oil & Gas By Prasad Selvaraj https://dig-ahead-44653197.figma.site/login (Username: demo, Password: demo) Methane is one of the most potent greenhouse gases, with a warming potential more than 80 times greater than carbon dioxide over a 20-year period. The oil and gas industry faces immense pressure to detect, measure, and mitigate methane emissions in line with the UN-backed OGMP 2.0 Gold Standard. However, traditional monitoring systems remain fragmented, reactive, and inefficient. To address this gap, I developed the SAT–UAV Methane Intelligence Framework (SUMIF) — a unified, AI-powered digital ecosystem that integrates satellite data, UAV-based sensing, and mass-balance modeling to deliver continuous, verifiable, and auditable methane intelligence across offshore, production, and refinery assets. 🚀 What is SUMIF? SUMIF is a multi-layered methane monitoring architecture that combines:...

Research article | March 2026 AI-Powered Structural Health Monitoring of Offshore Drilling Platforms Using UAV and Sensor Fusion: A Framework for Predictive Maintenance and OGMP 2.0 Compliance Prasad Selvaraj Independent Researcher | SUMIF Framework Author | Doha, Qatar March 2026 Abstract The ageing offshore platform infrastructure across the Gulf region presents significant structural integrity risks, operational safety challenges, and methane emissions compliance obligations. Traditional rope-access and manual inspection methods are constrained by personnel safety exposure, limited structural coverage, and an inability to generate the continuous monitoring data demanded by contemporary regulatory frameworks such as the Oil and Gas Methane Partnership 2.0 (OGMP 2.0). This paper proposes the Autonomous Inspection and Monitoring System (AIMS) — an integrated framework combining Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) deployment, multi-sensor fusio...
