Stop Small Leaks from Becoming Big Problems

Pipelines are the lifeblood of energy transportation, and while over 99% of hydrocarbons are delivered safely, the occasional leak can result in catastrophic costs. The repercussions of undetected leaks are vast, from regulatory fines and cleanup expenses to damage to public trust.

For example, a single oil spill in 2022 cost one operator over $25 million in direct expenses, not including the untold reputational damage. The risks are high, but the good news? They’re avoidable.

Pipeline operators face more than just product loss when a leak occurs. What’s at stake when small leaks go unnoticed?

Protracted remediation expenses: Environmental cleanup, wildlife protection, and community property restoration can total millions and span years.
Regulatory fines: Local and federal agencies are increasingly vigilant, imposing hefty fines for late detection and slow response.
Reputational damage: Public trust erodes when your organization is linked to environmental harm.
Lost revenue: Small leaks over time can result in significant product and operational loss.

The reality is simple—current methods like manual inspections or SCADA systems often have blind spots, missing small but critical incidents. The key is acting before leaks spiral out of control. Using advanced geospatial analytics, Satelytics gives you insights to catch leaks in their infancy long before traditional methods notice a problem. We analyze high-resolution satellite imagery using sophisticated AI-powered algorithms to detect liquid hydrocarbons and produced water leaks with over 98% accuracy.

Swift Detection: Alerts are delivered mere hours after the satellite overpass.
Pinpoint Accuracy: Identify leaks down to a puddle’s size — even in remote areas and harsh conditions like icy winters in North Dakota.
Actionable Alerts: Exact coordinates, leak size, and proximity to assets.

*Specific, actionable alerts with pinpoint accuracy.*

Case Study Spotlight: Millions Saved in North Dakota

One of Satelytics’ success stories comes from a major oil & gas producer in North Dakota. By employing Satelytics for weekly monitoring of its assets (4,000 square miles), the company was able to identify a remote leak 13 days earlier than it would have with traditional methods. The result:

Reduced cleanup costs.
Minimized environmental impact.
Savings likely amounting to millions of dollars.
Spotted leak before landowners.

With Satelytics, you’re not just preventing leaks but safeguarding your business, the environment, and your team’s reputation.

Don't Wait for the Headlines

Sizeable pipeline leaks don’t have to be inevitable. With Satelytics as your partner, you can shift from reacting to problems after they’ve grown large to proactively addressing them before costly consequences arise.
