At the inaugural Methane Trailblazers Summit, operators across the oil and gas value chain shared how they’re utilizing actionable emissions intelligence to understand their emissions profile and accelerate methane reduction. Rather than collecting measurements for LDAR or compliance alone, leading teams are using emissions intelligence to validate repairs, streamline inventories, predict and prevent emissions, and inform strategic decisions that drive measurable reductions. The discussions underscored a growing shift towards insight-driven action, and from reactive leak detection to proactive methane management.
Here’s how industry leaders are using emissions intelligence to turn data into action:
Emissions intelligence is the way high-quality methane measurements are translated into clear, actionable insights that operators use to accelerate emissions reduction. By combining accurate emission rate data with geospatial context, clear plume imagery, temporal trends, and equipment-level attribution, it helps operators understand what’s emitting, how much, why, and what to do next.
In practice, emissions intelligence gives teams the clarity to prioritize repairs, validate fixes, reconcile inventories, benchmark performance, and even predict and prevent future emissions. In short, it transforms measurements into meaningful decisions quickly, defensibly, and at scale.
For leading operators, emissions intelligence begins with verifying that repairs actually work.
By leveraging Bridger’s aerial methane data to confirm that leaks are fixed, and to see those results within days, operators are closing the loop faster than ever.
For a top U.S. midstream operator who joined the Trailblazers Summit, emissions insights are even shaping asset-level decisions. Using data to determine whether a segment of pipe or facility remains economical to operate has led to reduced exposure, optimized spending, and lower emissions intensity.
Meanwhile, for operations teams at a major global production company, emissions verification has become part of daily workflows: designing methane out of new facilities, operating assets as intended, and confirming performance with Bridger’s data.
Today, many operators don’t just need measurements, they need emissions intelligence that reveals patterns, context, and opportunity. In some cases, operators start with the basics to first optimize their LDAR programs, and as their emission management program matures, Bridger works alongside their team to help them grow towards utilizing advanced insights to understand emission trends and deliver the biggest reduction impact.
Bridger’s data delivery through the Snowflake-powered Data Connector and its modernized data portal enables teams to cross-reference with SCADA data, and integrate data directly into existing systems to streamline repairs.
This evolution from data fundamentals towards integrated insights means operators can:
With faster, streamlined data and seamless integration, operators are spending less time analyzing and more time acting.
Trailblazing operators are using emissions intelligence to take timely, high-value action. Rather than waiting for “perfect” reconciliation between top-down and bottom-up data, they’re focusing on using insights to deliver real reductions, fast.
Bridger’s emissions intelligence empowers teams to:
It’s a shift from find-and-fix to predict-and-prevent, which translates to proactively driving lasting methane reduction.
For many large operators across the oil and gas value chain, emissions intelligence isn’t just for field response, it’s foundational to building measurement-informed inventories (MIIs).
Bridger’s consistent, high-accuracy data underpins OGMP 2.0 Level 4 and 5 reporting, and enhances corporate emissions disclosures with auditable, third-party-validated inputs.
This approach delivers inventories that are:
In short, emissions intelligence transforms methane data from compliance reporting into strategic advantage, delivering the most accurate emissions inventories available today.
Bridger’s roadmap builds directly on that vision, with next-generation emissions intelligence designed to accelerate impact.
Here’s a look at what’s coming next:
The next era of methane management isn’t just about finding leaks, it’s about predicting, preventing, and proving progress through emissions intelligence.
