The Energy Pragmatist: Will Foiles Speaks on Emissions Monitoring DrivingOperational Efficiency

In this episode of The Energy Pragmatist, Ben West sits down with Will Foiles, Co Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Project Canary, to discuss how methane management is evolving from a hardware challenge into a data and operational intelligence challenge.

Drawing on his experience building one of the industry's leading emissions technology companies, Will explains why operators are increasingly moving away from one size fits all monitoring programs and towards integrated approaches that combine satellites, aerial surveys, continuous monitoring systems, cameras, operational data, and artificial intelligence.

The conversation explores how changing regulatory priorities in the United States are influencing methane strategies, why spending on emissions management is becoming more disciplined, and how operators can improve both environmental performance and operational efficiency by better understanding the data they already have.

Will also shares his perspective on the future of AI in oil and gas, why flexibility is becoming critical as technology evolves, and how better emissions data could ultimately help operators command premiums in asset sales and strengthen their position with investors, regulators, and international buyers.

Will Foiles will be joining us at this year's New York Energy Investment Series at Nasdaq on 24 June, where he will speak on the panel "Which Technology Enabled Capital Efficiencies and Recovery Improvements Are Operators Betting On?"
