What AddGlobe does

AddGlobe, LLC is a Florida-based manufacturer of portable gas flow meters and methane detection instruments serving the global oil and gas industry. Founded in 2005 (with operational history traced to 2002), the company designs, produces, and supports explosion-proof, battery-powered high-volume sampling devices used for direct methane quantification in upstream production, midstream pipelines and processing, and downstream distribution. Its core product portfolio centers on the GFM 2.0 (LED-based optical sensor with patented Displaced Oxygen Correction, 14+ hour battery) and the newly launched GFM 3.0 (methane-specific TDLAS laser, 0.5 g/h detection sensitivity, ATEX Ex ia Zone 0 rated), complemented by the EyeCGas 2.0 optical gas imaging camera and the TDL 220 tunable diode laser detector.

The company monetizes primarily through quote-based hardware sales to enterprise oil and gas operators (Kinder Morgan, Marathon Oil, Shell QGC, Southern California Gas, Snam, Energy Transfer, EOG Resources, CMS Energy, ENGIE, among 50+ named accounts) and supplements this with training/certification programs, Android control software, and warranty/post-warranty services. Distribution combines direct field sales led by the Director of Sales & Tech Service at industry conferences with an international channel network including exclusive dealer Heath Pipeline Services (Australia/NZ/PNG) and preferred partner Infrared Cameras Inc (TDL 220). The company holds multiple hazardous-location certifications (UL, ATEX, IECEx, CAD) and is a member of industry coalitions including ONE Future, PTAC, and the Marcellus Shale Coalition. Manufacturing is conducted at a UL-certified production facility in Royal Palm Beach, Florida.

AddGlobe is a privately held LLC with 11-50 employees and no disclosed external funding or revenue figures. Headcount-limited scale, single-vertical exposure to oil and gas methane compliance, and event-driven go-to-market are the defining structural characteristics of the business.

Core offering

AddGlobe, LLC manufactures and sells portable, explosion-proof methane detection and quantification instruments—including the GFM 2.0 and GFM 3.0 high-volume gas flow meters, the EyeCGas 2.0 optical gas imaging camera, and the TDL 220 tunable diode laser—for oil and gas operators that need direct, field-grade measurement of fugitive emissions and LDAR compliance. The company also delivers paid training and certification programs, warranty/post-warranty services, and software updates tied to its instruments.

Product overview

AddGlobe is an engineering and development company offering a portfolio of methane detection and quantification instruments for the oil and gas industry. The core product line includes the Gas Flow Meter 3.0 (GFM 3.0) — a next-generation laser-based high-volume sampler with 0.5 g/h detection — and the Gas Flow Meter 2.0 (GFM 2.0) — a field-proven LED-based sampler with 14+ hour battery life. These are complemented by the EyeCGas 2.0 OGI camera (a thermal imaging device for visualizing hydrocarbon leaks) and the TDL 220 tunable diode laser (a handheld remote methane detector). All products are certified for hazardous location use (ATEX, UL, IECEx) and are used across upstream, midstream, and downstream energy operations for LDAR compliance and methane mitigation.

Broad incumbents

• Baker Hughes: Major oilfield services company offering emissions management and methane reduction services across upstream and midstream; comparable in customer base and methane-management value proposition, but bundled within a much broader services portfolio.
• Honeywell (RAE Systems): Industrial safety giant offering multi-gas detectors and area monitors under the RAE Systems brand; comparable to AddGlobe in serving oil & gas LDAR and utility customers, though as part of a much larger safety and process automation portfolio.
• Dräger: German-headquartered safety and gas detection company with extensive methane and combustible gas detector lines for oil & gas, utilities, and industrial safety; broad incumbent offering overlapping with AddGlobe's portable detection products.
• MSA Safety (Sierra Monitor): Global safety equipment company with a gas detection portfolio (including Sierra Monitor) covering fixed and portable methane detection; broader industrial safety focus but directly competes with AddGlobe's gas detection instruments in utility and oil & gas accounts.
• Teledyne FLIR: Dominant supplier of optical gas imaging (OGI) cameras including the FLIR GF320/GF77 used for LDAR and methane leak surveys; directly comparable to AddGlobe's EyeCGas 2.0 in product category and customer base, but operates at much larger scale across many imaging applications.

Direct peers

• Pergam Technical Services: Specialist in LDAR (Leak Detection and Repair) services and OGI camera solutions for oil & gas operators; comparable niche focus on fugitive emissions measurement and overlapping service offerings with AddGlobe's product-led LDAR support.
• Heath Consultants: Long-established US methane-leak detection and pipeline inspection company; AddGlobe Managing Partner Andrei Gorski previously worked at Heath, and AddGlobe's GFM line is a direct technical successor to Heath's Hi-Flow Sampler, making them the closest head-to-head competitor in high-volume methane sampling.
• Boreal Laser: Specializes in tunable diode laser (TDLAS) gas detection for hydrocarbons, hydrogen fluoride, ammonia and other industrial gases; directly comparable to AddGlobe's TDL 220 handheld methane detector in target customer, technology, and use case.
• Opgal: Israeli manufacturer of thermal imaging cameras including OGI products for gas leak detection; simultaneously an AddGlobe channel partner for EyeCGas 2.0 and a direct competitor in the OGI space, serving overlapping oil & gas and utility customers.
