The Challenge

PETRONAS Canada wanted to improve confidence in its methane emission inventory, reduce operational burdens associated with OGI surveys and maintain compliance with British Columbia Energy Regulator’s (BCER) fugitive emissions detection requirements. To achieve this, PETRONAS Canada pursued an Alternative Fugitive Emission Management Program (Alt-FEMP), seeking more complete, accurate, and actionable methane data to support mitigation planning, operational efficiency, and sustained emissions reduction, while also enabling robust OGMP 2.0 Level 4 and 5 reporting and reconciliation. 

The Approach

Bridger Photonics’ Gas Mapping LiDAR provides high-resolution aerial plume imagery paired with recurring scans of OGG’s transmission network. These flights detect both major and minor leaks (many that traditional methods missed) and deliver precise location data down to the source. Combined with high-resolution visuals, OGG gains actionable insights that help focus field efforts where they matter most.

The Results

  • PETRONAS Canada demonstrated methane intensity below both the British Columbia average and the Global Methane Pledge target of 0.2%.
  • Independent measurements reinforced inventory completeness and credibility.
  • Defensible methane performance data supports differentiated natural gas supply.
