Shape Lumen is a Flare Intelligence solution designed to deliver measurable reductions in flaring emissions, accelerate root-cause investigation, and improve gas utilization and compliance, by illuminating what's hidden in the flare system and turning operational data into actionable, event-driven intelligence.
How Shape Lumen works
Shape Lumen turns flare emissions data into operational intelligence, illuminating what was previously invisible in the flare system and making the real drivers of flaring easier to find and act on.
In practice, the flare is rarely where the problem starts: a disturbance can ripple across separation, compression, and utilities and only appear later as flaring. Lumen connects those signals so the cause stops staying hidden, and gives teams the structure to investigate, prioritize, and act.
Built for the energy industry
Shape Lumen was designed for upstream oil and gas operations where flaring management, emissions reduction, and operational reliability are critical.
The platform helps production, process, operations, and sustainability teams gain visibility into flare events, uncover root causes, improve gas utilization, and support compliance across complex assets such as FPSOs, platforms, and production facilities.
Key capabilities
-
Real-time flare monitoring: Continuous visibility into your FPSO's flare system, transforming an operational blind spot into proactive intelligence. Track flaring volume, composition, root causes, and events in near real-time.
-
Root-cause analysis: Pinpoint the drivers behind every flaring event, connecting process data to actionable insight that surfaces the underlying causes, beyond surface-level symptoms.
-
Hierarchical taxonomy: Automated event classification aligned with World Bank standards and ISO 14224, providing a consistent framework for analysis and reporting.
-
Cross-system integration: Lumen connects multiple interconnected systems, hydrocarbon separation, gas treatment, compression, water handling, and power generation, because operational disturbances across these nodes can propagate through the process network and ultimately surface as unintended flaring.
-
Case management workflow: Structured investigation with audit-ready traceability. Teams can transform events into cases, identify "worst offenders," group recurring events to uncover cumulative impact, and convert findings into action plans with clear ownership and follow-through.
-
Forecast: A predictive model for monthly flaring volume emissions, supporting compliance and decarbonization planning with less uncertainty.
See every flare event
Turn wasted gas into measurable savings and regulatory peace of mind.
What many teams label as flaring often hides avoidable loss and recurring process issues. Shape Lumen makes these hidden drivers visible by transforming emissions into operational intelligence: it highlights deviations, uncovers root causes, and reveals patterns across events over time, so teams can prioritize the right actions faster, reduce unnecessary flaring, and improve compliance and performance with traceable decisions.
Proven impact
-
12,5% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by providing action plan after identifying worst offenders on flare related systems.
-
Up to 80% faster investigation time reported in internal discussions around Lumen's operational usage (engineering time to investigate flare events).
-
Deployable at speed: typical implementation premise of ~1 month (aligned assumptions + technical setup).
