In the vast expanse of oil fields and pipeline networks, how do you spot a needle in a haystack? Or better yet, how do you find multiple needles in multiple haystacks? This was the challenge facing a major oil & gas company operating in one of North America's premier basins.

Operating thousands of miles of pipelines and numerous well sites, one of our largest oil & gas customers faced a daunting task: maintaining operational efficiency while mitigating environmental risks. Traditional monitoring methods were falling short, leaving the company vulnerable to undetected threats, including leaks, gas emissions, encroachments, and surface disturbances. The potential consequences? Millions in lost product, clean-up costs, regulatory fines, and irreparable damage to their reputation.

A Multifaceted Solution for Complex Challenges

Satelytics’ approach is summarized as follows: Don't just solve one problem – solve them all. By leveraging our comprehensive suite of geospatial analytics, we provided the customer with a truly multilateral solution. Here's how we transformed their operations:

• Pipeline Leak Detection – Our advanced algorithms identify small leaks (distinguishing hydrocarbon leaks from produced water leaks) long before they become major spills. In one instance, we alerted the customer to a leak 13 days before their traditional methods would have detected it – saving millions in potential clean-up costs and avoiding regulatory scrutiny.

• Methane Emissions Measurement – We quantify large methane emissions, providing both concentration and flow rate within thirty meters of the source. This enables the customer to prioritize repairs, demonstrate their commitment to environmental stewardship, and provide a defense against accusations of super-emitter status.

• Land Movement Detection – By monitoring subtle changes in land elevation or surface disturbance, we help the customer preemptively address potential pipeline threats and prevent catastrophic failures.

• Encroachment Detection – By identifying unauthorized construction, vehicles, or other activity near assets, we help the customer protect their infrastructure and maintain safety buffer zones.

The Power of Integration

The true magic of our solution lies in its integrated approach. By analyzing a single set of satellite data through multiple lenses (algorithms), we provide the customer with a comprehensive view of their operations. This not only maximizes the value of their investment but also reveals interconnected risks and opportunities that would have been missed by siloed solutions.

The results speak for themselves. Since implementing Satelytics' multilateral geospatial analytics in 2021, our customer has:

• Avoided liquid pipeline leaks that would have resulted in large clean-up costs.
• Spotted large methane emissions that may have adversely impacted their compliance record.
• Caught surface disturbances that may have been early signs of threats to the right-of-way.
• Improved their response time to a wide variety of issues identified by Satelytics.
• Shown peer organizations (competitors) problems with their infrastructure.
• Earned a reputation for thought leadership in applying advanced technology.
• Improved regulatory compliance and stakeholder relations.

Bottom Line: Multilateral is the Only Way Forward

Employing single-purpose geospatial analytics is simply unwise. Success means extracting maximum actionable insights from each dataset. By embracing Satelytics' multilateral approach, our customer didn't just solve their initial challenge – they revolutionized their entire asset management strategy.
