Trusted by 9 of the top 10 U.S. natural gas producers

Methane emissions reduction is a tough job, but it doesn’t have to be complicated. Bridger Photonics’ Gas Mapping LiDAR (GML) makes emissions reduction simple.

Bridger’s technology is EPA-approved, extensively third-party validated, and trusted by 9 of the top 10 U.S. natural gas producers. We deliver the industry’s most reliable methane detection, pinpointing specific leak sources, quantifying emissions, and helping operators take action quickly and confidently. Done at scale, our approach captures data for hundreds of production facilities, hundreds of pipeline miles, or a dozen square miles of utility service area daily.


With industry-leading detection sensitivity capabilities and quantitative accuracy, we scan your infrastructure from the air, pinpoint exactly where emissions are coming from, and quantify the size of the leaks. You’ll see every plume in clear, georeferenced imagery, that way you only send crews when and where they’re needed.

How Does GML Work?

From the air, GML scans oil and gas infrastructure using advanced LiDAR sensors to measure methane gas concentrations and plume imagery. Large geographic areas are covered quickly, capturing both high accuracy plume imagery and GPS coordinates for each leak. That means you only deploy ground crews when and where they’re needed—no guesswork, no wasted site visits.

Production

GML detects more than 90% of upstream methane emissions efficiently and affordably, keeping more gas in the pipes and reducing emissions. Proprietary analytics filter out off-site interference so you can focus only on leaks you can fix. We offer emissions intelligence to identify trends in leaking infrastructure, aiding in predicting and preventing future emissions.

Midstream

GML pinpoints leaks along midstream infrastructure and gas pipelines, helping you respond quickly and maintain compliance with environmental and safety requirements (like PHMSA, EPA’s OOOO regulations, and beyond). Our efficient coverage with a best-in-class detection sensitivity and pinpoint accuracy means you see the whole picture without walking every mile.

Utilities

Protect communities and field teams with accurate, actionable leak detection. GML identifies hazardous leaks sooner—whether they’re underground, rooftop, or otherwise inaccessible—all while minimizing false positives and avoiding unnecessary ground crew exposure. Cut emissions and make leak survey and environmental compliance simple.

Landfills

Profile whole-site emissions and pinpoint hot spots for targeted mitigation. GML provides an accurate, quantifiable view of methane emissions for better planning and verification.

What You Receive

  • Immediate alerts for high-threshold emissions
  • Detailed emissions reports with emission rate, GPS coordinates, max concentration, and persistence status—typically delivered within five business days in your choice o GIS, Excel, or PDF formats, or integrated directly into your workflows using Bridger's Snowflake-powered data connector
