Not pilots, not proofs of concept. These are production deployments with real outcomes and real operators who needed real certainty.
Ascent Resources, one of the largest independent natural gas producers in Appalachia, deployed Well Checked's Zensory.ai platform across their production portfolio. The mandate: continuous monitoring, regulatory defensibility, and elimination of reactive site visits.
With quarterly LDAR inspections leaving months-long gaps in visibility, Ascent needed a solution that could scale across a large footprint without proportionally scaling headcount. Zensory.ai's edge processing architecture made that possible — each site operates independently, with centralized visibility through the operator dashboard and SCADA integration.
If all our sites are continuously monitored, when a Fugitive Gas Event occurs — which it will — we are proactively alerted and our team can acknowledge, dispatch, then mitigate within 24 hours. Rapid response to a timely methane survey event can minimize or eliminate EPA fines.
A mid-continent operator managing dozens of production sites was facing increasing regulatory scrutiny under EPA methane rules. Quarterly LDAR inspections were creating compliance gaps that exposed the operator to potential enforcement action.
Zensory.ai's continuous OGI monitoring replaced the gap between inspections with 24/7 automated detection. Zentinal IQ provided the quantification and automated compliance logs needed to demonstrate continuous regulatory adherence — without additional field personnel.
Route-based site visits were consuming millions of dollars annually for a large independent operator — in labor, vehicles, fuel, and most importantly, the time of experienced personnel being deployed to routine checks that produced no actionable findings.
After deploying Zensory.ai across their production sites, the operator redirected field resources from routine visits to confirmed-event response. Site visits became purposeful, not procedural. Unscheduled travel dropped significantly, and so did the safety incidents associated with it.
The outcomes above aren't exceptional deployments. They're what happens when continuous monitoring replaces periodic inspection.
Quarterly inspections leave 89+ days of monitoring gaps. Continuous monitoring eliminates them entirely.
Multi-sensor validation means operators only respond to confirmed events — not false alarms that waste resources.
When a crew goes out, they know exactly what they're responding to, where it is, and what data supports the dispatch.
