Find & fix: job creation in the emerging leak detection and repair industry

Published: March 26, 2017 by EDF Staff

Research released by Datu Research in April 2017 offers an inside look at the methane leak detection and repair (LDAR) industry – a growing field of service providers that utilize technology to identify and repair leaking equipment at industrial oil and gas facilities.

The report found that the LDAR industry offers well-paying employment opportunities across the country that cannot be offshored, saves money by minimizing waste and keeping otherwise lost product in the pipe, and reduces emissions of a highly potent greenhouse gas along with other co-pollutants, thereby contributing to cleaner air for communities.
