We believe every operator should have the tools to detect, report, and reduce emissions—without barriers. Our mission is to make compliance smarter, faster, and more accessible through advanced, handheld technology and real-time digital workflows.
What started as a breakthrough in laser sensing has evolved into a full-service emissions platform — used by independent operators, offshore energy companies, and global producers alike.
Xplorobot was founded to challenge the status quo of emissions monitoring. Legacy OGI systems were too complex, too expensive, and too slow. We built a better way.
Recipient of the World Oil Award in Health, Safety, Environment and Sustainable Development
Results from DOE-sponsored METEC certify us as the most accurate detection technology
For emissions quantification of abandoned orphan wells in the Osage Nation
Completed the technology review process for approval in the state as an accepted methane detection solution
Received the first-ever EPA approval for a handheld methane detection solution for regulatory inspections
Emissions are a global issue. Xplorobot's has a global mission.
We're a team of scientists, engineers, field experts, and regulatory nerds—united by a mission to transform how emissions are measured and managed.
Oleg Mikhailov began his career at Chevron and spent 13 years serving in increasingly senior roles throughout South Asia and the Gulf of Mexico. From there, Oleg moved to TNK-BP, a partnership between the United Kingdom-based energy giant BP and the Russia-based AAR Consortium, where he rose to vice president of operations and asset management for upstream activities. After that, he became vice president of operations at Bashneft, one of Russia's largest producers of oil and gas. Prior to XPLOROBOT, he worked as a managing director and partner for AlixPartners and Boston Consulting Group, where he led energy-related projects in the UK, Mexico, and Argentina, as well as throughout North America.
Oleg holds a Ph.D. in geophysics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, an MBA from the University of California at Berkeley, and an undergraduate degree in physics from the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology.
Richard Clarke spent 17 years at BP, first in the Research Department and then in the Brazil Exploration Team before working at SpectrumGeo and TGS as R&D Manager and Chief Geophysicist.
Richard has published numerous papers, is a co-author on several patents, and has received two awards from the Offshore Technology Conference for his work on seismic imaging with deepwater ocean bottom nodes and time-lapse imaging with permanently installed ocean bottom cables.
Richard holds a Ph.D. in geophysics from Université de Pau et des Pays de l’Adour, France, an M.Sc in Geoscience from Université Paris VI, France, and an M.A. in Engineering from Cambridge University in England.
