据海上工程师网2022年5月16日巴黎报道，法国能源巨头道达尔能源公司5月16日在巴黎表示，该公司已在其全球所有上游油气运营场所启动了一项基于无人机的排放检测和量化活动，以识别、量化并减少与运营相关的甲烷排放。

全球无人机甲烷检测活动使用由道达尔能源公司、法国国家科学研究中心（CNRS）和兰斯香槟阿尔登大学开发的AUSEA技术。AUSEA技术是用于环境应用的机载超轻型光谱仪的缩写。

道达尔能源公司说：“AUSEA技术由一个安装在无人机上的微型双传感器组成，能够检测甲烷和二氧化碳的排放，同时识别它们的来源。使用该技术可以在所有类型的工业设备上进行测量，无论是陆上还是海上。它补充了使用红外摄像机、地面传感器和卫星等传统技术进行的测量。”

AUSEA技术在尼日利亚、意大利、刚果共和国和荷兰成功测试后，今年将在道达尔公司运营的所有上游油气站点推广。这个项目在3月初开始在非洲的海上油田开展，目前已在南美洲启动，并将于今年夏天抵达欧洲。这个甲烷检测活动是实现到2025年前将公司运营场所的甲烷排放量减少50%、到2030年前减少80%（与2020年相比的目标）的重要一步。“

TotalEnergies Launches Global Drone-based Methane Inspection Campaign on All 

French oil major TotalEnergies said Monday it had launched a worldwide drone-based emissions detection and quantification campaign across all its upstream oil & gas operated sites, to identify, quantify, and reduce methane emissions linked to its operations.

The campaign uses AUSEA technology developed by TotalEnergies, the French National Research Center for Scientific Research (CNRS) and University of Reims Champagne Ardenne. AUSEA stands for Airborne Ultralight Spectrometer For Environmental Applications.

"AUSEA consists of a miniature dual-sensor mounted on a drone, capable of detecting methane and carbon dioxide emissions, while at the same time identifying their source.  Measurements can be taken at all types of industrial facilities, whether onshore or offshore, using this technology. It supplements measurements taken using traditional techniques such as infrared cameras, ground sensors, and satellite," TotalEnergies said.

"After being successfully tested at sites in Nigeria, Italy, the Republic of the Congo, and the Netherlands, AUSEA technology is being rolled out this year at all upstream Oil & Gas sites operated by TotalEnergies. The campaign began in early March for African offshore sites, has now been launched in South America and will reach Europe this summer. The campaign is an important step towards achieving a reduction of 50% in methane emissions at company-operated sites by 2025 and of 80% by 2030 (targets in relation to 2020)," TotalEnergies said.
