LongPath Technologies’ ground-based continuous methane monitoring provides site-level measurement and reconciliation for Jonah Energy LLC’s 2025 OGMP 2.0 Level 5 Gold Standard

LongPath Technologies’ ground-based continuous methane monitoring provides site-level measurement and reconciliation for Jonah Energy LLC’s 2025 OGMP 2.0 Level 5 Gold Standard Reporting certification of its checkerboarded Permian Basin assets.
DENVER, Colorado — November 10, 2026 — LongPath Technologies announced the first use of its Laser Line Sensor™ emissions measurements as the exclusive site-level data source supporting Jonah Energy LLC’s (Jonah Energy) reporting year (RY) 2025 Level 5 reporting and verification under United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) Oil and Gas Methane Partnership (OGMP) 2.0. Jonah Energy achieved OGMP 2.0 Gold Standard Reporting for its New Mexico assets in the first year following acquisition. This is the fastest known progression from acquisition to Level 5 reporting, and the first use of continuous (ground-based) monitoring as the only measurement technology providing site-level measurements supporting Level 5 reporting, replacing the need for supplemental aerial, drone, or other snapshot-in-time surveys. Jonah Energy’s checkerboarded Permian Basin assets are spread across geographically dispersed facilities, which makes a representative emissions inventory more challenging to reconcile, but LongPath Technologies’ asset-wide continuous monitoring coverage made it possible.
The result gives operators a new option for site-level measurements to achieve OGMP 2.0 Gold Standard Reporting at Level 5. The ground-based network they rely on for everyday leak detection and compliance can also supply the site-level measurements Level 5 requires. Operators can still pair continuous data with aerial or drone surveys where those add value, but Gold Standard Reporting at Level 5 no longer depends on them.
LongPath’s Laser Line Sensor™ measures methane emissions from oil and gas infrastructure across the value chain. The technology’s comprehensive spatial coverage and high-frequency measurements produce detailed site-level emissions distributions with quantified uncertainty, expressed as confidence intervals, that capture emissions variations over time. Variability is a defining feature of oil and gas methane emissions and this approach gives operators a rigorous, measurement-based emissions inventory that meets UNEP’s Level 5 standards.
“OGMP Level 5 is the bar for credible methane reporting, and we wanted our new Permian Basin assets to meet it from the start,” said Howard Dieter, Vice President of EH&S at Jonah Energy. “The alerts our field teams trust every day come from the same data behind our Level 5 report. This trusted data allows us to continue to reduce our methane emissions.”
LongPath continuous methane monitoring also enabled Jonah Energy’s continuation of Gold Standard Reporting at OGMP 2.0 Level 5 for the company’s Wyoming natural gas production in RY2025, where LongPath monitoring covers more than 99% of production.
The LongPath data supports daily operational workflows in Jonah Energy’s Permian Basin and Green River Basin assets, allowing field teams to rapidly identify and respond to methane emissions as they occur. LongPath has demonstrated a greater than 97% true-positive alert rate through blind field testing, supporting confident operational responses.
“Jonah Energy’s results show that LongPath continuous monitoring can meet the rigorous measurement requirements of UNEP’s OGMP 2.0 Level 5 and drive effective day-to-day emissions management at the same time,” said Ian Dickinson, CEO, LongPath Technologies. “Field teams trust our alerts, regulators have approved LongPath more widely than any other continuous monitoring technology, and at full-area coverage, one network delivers leak detection, compliance and Level 5 reporting at the lowest monitoring cost per site.”
LongPath and Jonah Energy plan to publish a joint technical white paper on the Level 5 methodology in the near term. To learn how continuous monitoring can support Level 5 reporting, visit Resources | LongPath Technologies or email info@longpathtech.com.
