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?

The New Gusher: How Big Oil Became Big Power in the Age of AI

The Digital Oilfield · Field Note Chevron, ExxonMobil and a wave of gas turbines are turning the American oil patch into the power supply for artificial intelligence — and rewriting what an energy company is. By Prasad Selvaraj · September 8, 2026 The turbines arrived in West Texas the way the drilling rigs once did: on flatbed trailers, in convoys, trailing dust across a landscape that has spent a century learning to absorb the machinery of energy booms. But the crews bolting them into place near Midland were not chasing oil. They were building an electricity plant so large, and so single-minded in its purpose, that it has no customers at all except a server farm — and no real precedent in the hundred-odd years since the Permian Basin was first punctured for crude. This is Project Kilby, a 2.67-gigawatt gas-fired power complex that Chevron and Microsoft agreed this summer to build under a 20-year, roughly $7 billion contract. It will n...

Arctic Circle Oil & Gas Resources, Economic Potential, and Shipping Routes: A Multi-Country Assessment Article

Arctic Circle Oil & Gas Resources, Economic Potential, and Shipping Routes: A Multi-Country Assessment Research Article Prepared by: Prasad Selvaraj Ph.D. Researcher, AI & Deep Learning | Senior Aeronautical Analyst, Qatar Airways, Doha, Qatar 📧 prasad2t@gmail.com 2025 • Arctic Energy, Shipping Routes, Investor Strategy, Climate Transition Risk Abstract. The Arctic Circle contains some of the world’s largest remaining undiscovered conventional oil and gas resources. Melting sea ice is increasing access to these resources and opening new maritime shipping routes such as the Northern Sea Route (NSR), the Northwest Passage (NWP), and the Transpolar Sea Route (TSR). This article reviews the scale and distribution of Arctic hydrocarbons, evaluates the profitability and annual revenue...
