Phillips 66 Expands Aerial Methane Detection with Bridger Photonics
(P&GJ) — Phillips 66 is expanding its methane detection efforts by deploying Bridger Photonics’ aerial monitoring technology across its entire midstream network. The move is part of the company’s broader push to reduce emissions, going beyond current regulatory requirements.
Bridger will conduct aerial scans twice a year using its Gas Mapping LiDAR technology to detect methane leaks. The company’s sensors provide precise data on emissions, helping operators like Phillips 66 identify leaks, address equipment issues, and improve infrastructure.
Bridger, which monitors over 200,000 miles of pipeline and gathering infrastructure, is a key player in emissions detection. More than half of the top ten U.S. midstream operators use its technology to manage methane emissions.
Phillips 66, now one of the largest natural gas processors in the U.S. following its increased stake in DCP Midstream in 2023, has made emissions reduction a priority. The company’s expanded use of Bridger’s technology aims to provide a clearer picture of its emissions and enhance response efforts.
"At Phillips 66, we are committed to reaching our emissions reduction goals efficiently and effectively, and that commitment drives us to seek out the best solutions. Bridger's data helps our team to mitigate emissions more quickly and strategically, enabling equipment updates and operational adjustments that make a real difference. Having already seen the value of this data, I'm excited to deepen our collaboration and expand our work to gain an even more comprehensive view of our emissions profile," said Nick Peterson, Phillips 66 FL&U Director.
"Phillips 66 continues to raise the bar for the midstream sector by going above and beyond regulatory requirements. Their commitment to emissions reduction is evident in their proactive efforts to keep methane in the pipes, driving innovation and positive impact. We are thrilled to be a part of their journey," added Pete Roos, President and CEO of Bridger.
