    Where We Stand

    Approved. Validated. Trusted.

    No one has supported more modern methane compliance programs than Bridger. That experience is reflected in approvals across federal, state, and international programs.

    One Survey. Every Box Checked.

    Get multiple compliance outcomes without extra trips, crews, or programs.

    One flight, every requirement

    A single GML survey replaces OGI surveys 1:1 and checks your boxes for state, federal and voluntary programs like OGMP 2.0 all at once.

    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 while redirecting field crews to targeted follow-up and repair instead of routine screening.

    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

    BP Icon Public Sector size 120x120

    Federal

    Approved to provide more program flexibility than any other technology, Bridger can be used across the United States at a variety of scan sensitivity and survey frequencies

    BP Icon Shield size 120x120

    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 using 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 and the European Union Methane Regulation, as well as country-specific programs across Canada, Australia, and beyond.
