LDAR “Leak Detection and Repair” is the tailored service provided by Applus+ to improve companies’ performance in the Oil and Gas industry. Knowledge acquired through years of working with companies performing LDAR as part of their regulatory requirements is applied, ensuring the best results.
Leak Detection and Repair (LDAR) Program is a methodology based on inspection of all elements of a facility composing the storage, production and distribution lines identifying any type of volatile substance that may leak in the system. These leaks generate losses that affect the environment, occupational safety, and the economic performance of the system as a whole or a part of it.
Applus+ implements, develops, and maintains LDAR Programs applied to the following sectors:
Applus+ also actively participates in improving measurement and testing processes and in the operational verification of new technologies developed to provide the oil and gas industry with better quantifications of their methane emissions. This is done with the precision and transparency required by being part of the working groups of OGMP 2.0 (Oil & Gas Methane Partnership 2.0) established by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) with goals for the progressive reduction and mitigation of methane emissions.
To strengthen the operational management of LDAR Programs, Applus+ provides FEMA+, a digital platform specifically designed for fugitive emissions control. FEMA+ allows users to generate dashboards, track inspection campaigns, manage inventories, and analyse leak evolution, offering real-time visibility of the entire LDAR process. The platform supports offline work, enables 3D visualization of facilities, and centralizes all campaign information to improve traceability, productivity, and decision-making.
