How does it work?

Satellite-based methane detection provides broad coverage but lacks the resolution to locate exact leak points, delaying repair actions. Integrating drone sniffers dispatched from satellite alerts enables precise, on-site confirmation and accelerates mitigation efforts.

Accelerated Leak Confirmation: Satellite alerts trigger drones within minutes to verify methane emissions on site. This rapid response minimizes time between detection and mitigation, reducing unmonitored leak duration.
Precise Emission Mapping: Drones equipped with high-sensitivity methane sensors capture spatial emission profiles at meter-scale resolution. Operators receive detailed maps that pinpoint leak coordinates for targeted repairs.
Automated Dispatch Coordination: The platform integrates satellite feeds and drone fleet management to automatically schedule missions. This end-to-end automation streamlines workflow and reduces manual coordination errors.
Reduced Inspection Costs: Deploying drones cuts down on labor-intensive field surveys and helicopter overflights, lowering operational expenses. Efficient mission routing and on-demand flights optimize resource utilization.
Enhanced Regulatory Reporting: Detailed emission measurements comply with EPA and EU reporting standards for greenhouse gas leaks. Automated data logging and audit-ready reports simplify compliance audits.
Scalable Monitoring: Whether monitoring a single facility or an entire production field, the system scales by adding drones and satellite sources. Bulk data processing and cloud-based analytics support large-scale deployments without performance loss.

How does this approach compare to traditional ground surveys?: Unlike manual surveys that require extensive planning and personnel, satellite-triggered drone deployment accelerates leak confirmation. Automated coordinates reduce field time by up to 50% while maintaining data accuracy.
Why is drone confirmation popular among operators?: Operators value drones for their ability to rapidly localize leaks detected by satellites without halting production. The aerial sniffers provide on-demand, high-resolution measurements crucial for timely repairs.
What are the limitations of satellite-triggered drone inspections?: Drone missions can be constrained by adverse weather conditions like high winds or heavy precipitation, affecting flight safety and sensor accuracy. Satellite detection latency may also introduce slight delays before drone dispatch.
Are there alternatives to drone sniffers for hotspot validation?: Fixed ground-based sensors and mobile vehicle-based monitors offer alternative validation methods, but they often lack the spatial flexibility of drones. Compared to satellites alone, these systems can provide continuous data but require extensive infrastructure.
How frequently can drones be dispatched from satellite alerts?: Dispatch frequency depends on satellite revisit rates and local airspace regulations, typically ranging from multiple flights per day to weekly missions. Our platform automates scheduling as soon as new satellite detections are processed.
Can this solution integrate with existing emission monitoring systems?: Yes, the platform offers standard APIs and GIS integration to fuse drone-derived data with current telemetry and regulatory databases. This ensures seamless reporting and unified dashboards for operational oversight.
