Bridger Photonics Inc. has expanded its partnership with Phillips 66 across the operator’s entire midstream value chain to further enhance methane leak detection. This expanded effort includes aerial scans twice per year using state-of-the-art methane detecting sensors to identify emissions, further strengthening Phillips 66’s commitment to reducing emissions.
Following its increased ownership stake in DCP Midstream in 2023, Phillips 66 now operates one of the largest natural gas processing systems in the US. Building on its experience with different solutions, Phillips 66 chose to expand its use of Bridger’s Gas Mapping LiDAR as part of a broader voluntary initiative that exceeds current regulatory requirements for midstream operators. Phillips 66 scans its entire midstream value chain twice a year.
"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." – 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.
