Gas Mapping LiDAR™ for LNG Facilities

Safe, accurate, and audit-ready methane data for complex LNG operations.

LNG Carrier Terminal - 1
In liquid natural gas (LNG) facilities, methane management is a balancing act between safety, compliance, and operational efficiency. Congested equipment, high-pressure processes, and reputational risk mean even small leaks can have outsized impacts. Traditional methods (like manual OGI surveys and crew-based inspections) expose personnel to hazards and struggle to provide defensible, quantitative data.

Bridger Photonics’ Gas Mapping LiDAR™ (GML) solves these challenges by scanning facilities entirely from the air. With equipment-level attribution, quantitative emissions rates, and zero on-site disruption, GML enables LNG operators to prove compliance, prioritize repairs, and demonstrate measurable progress on methane reduction.

Why LNG Operators Rely on GML

  • EHS Leaders: Verify methane reductions while minimizing crew exposure in hazardous zones
  • Regulatory Teams: Access EPA-approved, audit-ready data that aligns with OOOOb/c and OGMP 2.0 frameworks
  • Operations Executives: Confidently pinpoint leak sources and direct repairs where they save the most product
  • ESG Leaders: Document emissions reductions with transparent data investors recognize
  • Executives: Link methane management directly to ROI, safety assurance, and regulatory cost avoidance

By combining defensible compliance data with safer, non-intrusive operations, GML supports both day-to-day efficiency and long-term ESG strategy.

How GML Works in LNG Facilities

Bridger’s aircraft-mounted GML uses two LiDAR systems at once:

  • Topographic LiDAR maps precise equipment locations
  • Atmospheric LiDAR measures methane by tracking absorption of the laser beam

This pairing creates a map-quality image of methane plumes, showing LNG operators exactly what’s leaking, where it’s leaking, and how much methane is being lost.

Key performance metrics:

  • Sensitivity: 1–15 kg/hr @ 90% PoD
  • Localization: Within ~2 meters, even in congested layouts
  • Coverage: Entire facilities scanned in hours, not days
  • Reporting: Equipment overlays, digital delivery, time-stamped and audit-ready
