SeekOps CEO Brendan Smith joined the Energy 101 podcast to trace the SeekIR® sensor suite’s path from the Mars Curiosity rover to drone-based methane monitoring across global oil and gas operations.
The 53-minute conversation covers:
- How technology built for the Mars Curiosity rover ended up flying on drones over oil and gas sites
- In-situ spectrometers versus satellites — where each approach wins
- Why offshore methane detection is uniquely difficult, and how SeekOps solves it
- What the EU Methane Regulation means for US operators ahead of 2027 import requirements
- How quantification turns an invisible gas into data operators can act on
