Where We Stand
Approved. Audited. Trusted.
No one has scanned more wells, more pipelines, or more regulators' requirements than Bridger. That experience shows up as approvals — across federal, state, and international programs.
One Survey. Every Box Checked.
No extra trips, no extra crews, no extra programs — just one aerial survey that does the work of several.
One flight, every requirement
A single GML survey can satisfy OOOOb screening, OOOOc work practice, and Subpart W reporting at once - where ground-based methods need a separate trip for each.
The deepest bench in the business
No one has flown more basins, more pipelines, or more regulatory programs than Bridger - experience that shows up in every approval we hold.
Scale without adding headcount
Get regulator-recognized coverage across hundreds of sites a day, with no field crews and no permanent hardware.
A number you can stand behind
Georeferenced, time-stamped data built for the moment a regulator -or your own board- asks you to prove it.
Where We Stand
Federal
The most broadly approved aerial methane technology in the EPA's matrix; every detection sensitivity and scan frequency tier, in a single program. From OOOOb/OOOOc to Subpart W reporting, Bridger's data is built to meet federal requirements without slowing down your operations.
State
Bridger works with state regulators to secure approval as an alternative to traditional leak detection and repair (LDAR) methods. Operators in approved states can replace required surveys with aerial monitoring in one consolidated program instead of a patchwork of methods.
International
As operators worldwide face growing pressure to measure and report methane emissions, Bridger's data is designed to support international frameworks like OGMP 2.0, as well as country-specific programs across Canada, Australia, and beyond.
