Bridger Photonics Expands Trusted GML Technology to Offshore Emissions Monitoring

Bringing Trusted Methane Emissions Data to Offshore Operations

Bridger Photonics is bringing its trusted Gas Mapping LiDAR (GML) technology to a new frontier: offshore oil and gas platforms and other complex facilities. The technology we’re using isn’t new. But it’s a new way to deliver the most trusted data available in emissions monitoring.

With GML for Offshore, operators get the same high-fidelity methane data that’s made Bridger an industry favorite in upstream, midstream, and distribution sectors. The difference? It’s now delivered via UAV (drone) in environments where traditional monitoring has long fallen short.

“We’re filling a major gap for operators today, providing them with technology they know and trust in a new way,” — Ben Little, CEO of Bridger Photonics

Why Offshore? And Why Now?

Offshore and complex facilities have always posed a challenge for methane monitoring. Between limited personnel on board (PoB), complex equipment layouts, and harsh environmental conditions, conventional solutions have either been too coarse, too slow, or too risky to be very effective.

GML for Offshore changes the equation. With UAV-based LiDAR scanning, operators can achieve:

• Scan times as short as 30–90 minutes
• Source-level precision and full-site emissions totals
• Actionable data ready for OGMP 2.0 and more

“In offshore, time is money. We have designed the system to deliver best-in-class time on board while limiting PoB,”— Hamed Moshrefi, Director of International and Offshore

What Sets GML for Offshore Emissions Detection Apart

When it comes to offshore and complex industrial environments, one-size-fits-all solutions fall short. Bridger’s GML for Offshore is purpose-built to meet the unique demands of high-risk, high-density sites, without sacrificing the precision and reliability operators expect from our proven technology.

GML for Offshore is:

Engineered for Complexity: Designed for dense infrastructure and challenging flight environments, with advanced planning and auditable coverage.

Fast, Safe, and Scalable: No repetitive flyovers, no prolonged time on site. UAV-based deployment minimizes operational disruption and reduces safety risks.

A Full Emissions Picture: With pinpointed leaks and total facility emissions reporting, GML for Offshore delivers a complete view in as little as one flyover.

Actionable Insights, Fast: Same-day alerts. Comprehensive reports in days. Seamless integration with Bridger’s analytics platform.

“Actionable data is at the cornerstone of what we do.” — Ben Little, CEO of Bridger Photonics

An Offshore Methane Emissions Data Evolution

The GML technology that’s helped leading operators reduce emissions, pass audits, and meet OGMP 2.0 standards can now reach difficult-to-scan facilities. That means you don’t have to gamble on new hardware or untested methodology. You’re getting the same trusted data, delivered via a UAV platform specifically engineered for hard-to-access sites.
