Why Operators Choose Bridger

Bridger Photonics is where fast methane detection meets future-proof strategy.

Unlike other aerial systems that emphasize scan frequency, or ground crew  surveys that are subjective and prone to missing emissions, Bridger’s Gas Mapping LiDAR® (GML) technology delivers something different: unmatched sensitivity and speed, and equipment-level data so crews can go straight to the source. The result is data that operators can act on, whether the goal is compliance, investor confidence, or keeping more gas in the pipes.

Bridger delivers actionable, reliable, and defensible emissions data with unmatched flexibility. Operators get the insights needed to prioritize repairs and reduce risk across production, midstream, gas utilities, LNG, and beyond.

Lidar Methane Emissions Detection Midstream over Forest

This high-quality emissions data feeds directly into analytics that reveal trends and risk areas, helping operators plan upgrades and retrofits. This predictive approach future-proofs emissions programs, cuts costs, reduces risk, and keeps operations ahead of regulations.

Backed by third-party validation and trusted by industry leaders, our data is both proven and compliance-ready. It’s EPA-approved for OOOOb/c compliance, aligned with PHMSA standards, and supports OGMP 2.0 Gold Standard reporting. As the landscape of methane regulations and emissions reduction evolves, Bridger evolves with it.

Sensitivity That Stands Apart

Every kilogram of methane matters. We offer flexible detection sensitivity options from 1–15 kg/hr for the production and midstream sectors, or 0.5 kg/hr for gas utilities, all with a 90% PoD, adjusted to meet your compliance or ROI goals.

Comparing Solutions

  Satellites

Broad coverage, poor sensitivity, cannot pinpoint leak sources

   OGI

Inefficient with only a few sites per day, has been shown to miss emissions, requires extensive windshield time

   Other Aerial Systems

Coarse sensitivity, aggregated plumes mean leak sources are not identified and crews waste time searching blindly

Bridger provides data with equipment-level detection and localization and crystal clear plume imagery that meets today’s standards, and scales for tomorrow’s business goals.

Proven in the Field

Bridger is trusted by 9 of the top 10 U.S. natural gas producers, alongside leading operators in midstream, LNG, utilities, and offshore.

Reports are audit-ready and delivered within days, with clear plume imagery maps and equipment ID that crews can immediately use. Independent validation studies have confirmed what operators already know: Bridger’s data holds up under even the toughest scrutiny.

As one operator put it:

"Our goal is simple—keep methane in the pipe.

This technology helps us assure we are doing that… It’s a game changer. It can find leaks that are 10 times smaller than other commercial providers are capable of spotting.

Our performance and continuous improvement in methane reduction space is thanks to collaborations like this. Bridger’s technology is helping us continue to deliver lower carbon results."
