GML for Offshore Operations

UAV aerial methane monitoring and analytics for safer operations, and rapid scanning of the full emissions picture.

Offshore methane detection is uniquely challenging, with harsh weather, remote locations, and costly traditional or other drone based solutions fall short.

Bridger's data removes these barriers with high-accuracy, equipment-level methane data that operators rely on, now deployed via UAV for the world’s toughest sites.

With Bridger, offshore operators gain the safety, scalability, and speed they need to drive measurable emissions reduction fast. Paired with advanced analytics, operators are armed with the insights they need to systematically predict and prevent future emissions.

Why Offshore Operators Rely on GML

  • EHS Leaders: Reduce crew exposure by eliminating vessel-based inspections

  • Operations Executives: Detect and address super-emitters before they create safety and financial risk

  • ESG Leaders: Provide credible, quantified emissions data for investor and stakeholder reporting

  • Executives: Reduce costs, ensure safer operations, and align methane management with ROI

Bridger helps offshore operators drive measurable emissions reduction with speed, actionability, and unmatched precision.

How GML Works for Offshore Production

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 emission sources with unmatched accuracy
  • Flux Curtain quantifies total facility emissions with coordinated dual-drone scans

GML scans produce high quality, accurately quantified emission rates that show how much is being lost across the facility with Flux Curtain technology, or how much is being lost per individual emission source with UAV GML.

Key performance metrics:

  • Sensitivity: Flexible sensitivity tiers from 1–15 kg/hr all with a 90% probability of detection
  • Localization: Within ~2 meters, even on complex offshore platforms and industrial facilities
  • Coverage: Multiple platforms scanned per day in almost any weather
  • Reporting: Quantitative, audit-ready data delivered in operator-preferred formats
