About the Case Study
Woodside Energy has partnered with Bridger Photonics to rapidly identify and quantify methane emissions across major LNG operations in Australia. The resulting data helps Woodside quickly identify issues, prioritize repairs, and strengthen emissions management at complex facilities.
Challenge:
Locating and measuring emissions across large and complex facilities is essential for operational efficiency and emissions reduction. Woodside sought a faster, more comprehensive way to identify and quantify methane emissions across its Pluto and North West Shelf assets.
Approach:
Working with Bridger and Australian aviation partner Heliwest, Woodside deployed Bridger’s technology to rapidly measure emissions across major LNG facilities. The technology provides quantified measurements that allow operators to visualize emissions that were previously invisible, and develop a more complete understanding of facility performance.
Key Takeaway
By combining rapid aerial emissions measurement with quantified data and equipment-level source localization, Woodside transformed previously invisible emissions into operational intelligence that supports faster maintenance decisions and more effective emissions management across complex facilities.
Business Impact
Rapid Surveys
Rapidly identify and quantify methane emissions with localization down to ~2 meters across complex LNG facilities
Quick Repairs
Enable operators to identify issues and initiate repairs more quickly
