Leveraging our industry-leading LiDAR technology, Bridger Photonics is extending its trusted Gas Mapping LiDAR (GML) system into a bold new frontier: offshore and complex industrial facilities.

GML for Offshore delivers the same high-accuracy methane data that operators rely on, now delivered via UAV platforms built for the world’s toughest sites.

Whether you're inspecting an offshore platform or an intricate LNG terminal, Bridger enables fast, reliable emissions detection and reconciliation, helping you achieve OGMP 2.0 compliance, maintain inventory accuracy, and drive real, measurable emissions reduction. 

What Sets GML for Offshore Apart

Fast, Safe, and Scalable

UAV deployment cuts time on platform and reduces risk. Scan entire facilities in a single flight.

Full Emissions Picture

Get both source-level and total site level data in a single visit, strengthening inventory accuracy.

Precision in Complexity

Engineered for complex and dense infrastructure that can be difficult for other technologies.

Actionable Insights

Receive same-day alerts and detailed reports within days, fully integrated into Bridger’s analytics platform.

 

Why It Matters

Offshore assets and complex infrastructure have long posed a challenge for methane monitoring. Traditional solutions fall short—either too coarse, too slow, or too risky. 

Our UAV-based GML technology closes the gap with:

  • Source-level precision and full-site emissions totals.
  • Scan times as short as 30-90 minutes.
  • Minimize personnel on board (PoB).
  • Data ready for OGMP and Veritas reporting.

How It Works

Bridger’s GML for Offshore includes two powerful UAV-based technologies, each purpose-built for high-resolution results in complex environments:

UAV GML

Pinpoints individual emissions sources with unmatched accuracy.

  • Best-in-Class Detection Sensitivity
  • Applications: OGMP Level 4 and Level 5, LDAR, benchmarking, compliance.
  • Strengths: Ideal for offshore platforms or complex facilities.
  • Scan Time: ~90 minutes (for a typical-sized facility).

Flux Curtain

Quantifies total facility emissions with coordinated dual-drone scans.

  • Best-in-Class Detection Sensitivity
  • Applications: OGMP Level 5, inventory reconciliation.
  • Strengths: Facility-scale accuracy for emissions totals.
  • Scan Time: ~60 minutes (for a typical-sized facility). 

Combine both for full emissions reconciliation in a single deployment.

A Better Way to

Deliver Trusted Data

This is not a drone launch. It’s an expansion of where our proven GML system can go.

With GML for Offshore, you’re not buying into new hardware. You’re accessing the same trusted data, from a new platform, in places that used to be unreachable.

Offshore-ready.

OGMP-ready.

Future-ready.
