Case Study: Carbon Creek Energy reduces methane leaks with Wood's Iris Edge technology

Carbon Creek Energy Wyoming Pilot Study

Carbon Creek Energy, a natural gas operator, faced the challenge of efficiently detecting and repairing methane leaks across its large site of 4,200 wells in Wyoming to meet regulatory compliance and reduce emissions. They partnered with Wood to utilize its Iris Edge technology for precise methane detection.

Wood's solution involved a pilot study using Iris Edge hardware, including robots and handheld tools, which was seamlessly integrated into the operator's daily routines. The technology rapidly identified leaks, with one analysis taking just 10 minutes instead of a full day. This led to the immediate repair of several previously undetected leaks. The measurable impact for Carbon Creek Energy is the ability to certify its gas as responsibly sourced, potentially secure a commodity price uplift, and effectively manage its obligations under the Inflation Reduction Act.
