Oklahoma Gas Gathering Deploys Methane Detection Tech Across Anadarko Midstream System

Oklahoma Gas Gathering is using Bridger Photonics’ methane detection technology across its Anadarko Basin pipelines, aiming to cut emissions, reduce leaks, and boost midstream efficiency.

(P&GJ) — Oklahoma Gas Gathering LLC (OGG) has partnered with Bridger Photonics to roll out advanced methane detection technology across its Anadarko Basin midstream operations.

The initiative aims to improve emissions management, reduce product loss, and enhance safety across the company’s gas gathering system.

Bridger’s technology uses aerial scans and high-resolution imaging to pinpoint leaks, including those often missed by traditional methods. The data include plume imagery and leak localization, enabling OGG to prioritize field resources more effectively.

“Efficiency in our operations means smarter work, safer systems, and lower emissions,” said Chris Wilmot, operations manager at OGG. “Bridger gives us the data we need to detect leaks sooner, especially across remote areas and older parts of the system. With Bridger’s plume imagery and aerial visuals, we can focus our team’s time where it matters most, reduce product loss, and enhance safety for our crews and communities.”

The recurring scans will allow OGG to address leaks faster, reduce downtime, and limit the need for manual inspections. Bridger’s Gas Mapping LiDAR system is already in use by more than half of the top 10 midstream operators in the U.S., with over 200,000 miles of pipeline scanned.

“OGG is setting a strong example in the midstream sector by embracing efficiency as a driver for both operational excellence and environmental performance,” said Ben Little, CEO of Bridger Photonics. “Our advanced imaging and pinpoint localization give them the actionable insights they need to catch more emissions, respond faster, and maintain system integrity, keeping gas right where it belongs, in the pipe.”
