Satellite-based detection and quantification of methane super-emitters across oil & gas operations, landfills, wastewater treatment plants, and coal mines — aligned with OGMP 2.0 to enhance LDAR, improve safety, reduce emissions, and ensure regulatory compliance.
The energy sector accounts for around 40% of human-caused methane emissions — yet traditional ground-based LDAR programs are limited by access, cost, and frequency.
SatLeak changes that equation. Using hyperspectral and multispectral satellite imagery analyzed by Momentick's proprietary algorithms, enhanced with Atmosfir reporting and QA/QC, SatLeak detects and quantifies methane super-emissions from space — covering areas that would take ground crews weeks to survey.

Unlike systems that require dedicated satellites, SatLeak applies advanced proprietary algorithms to imagery from multiple third-party satellite sources — enabling broader coverage at lower cost.
Our experts design a fit-for-purpose satellite monitoring program. Enter coordinates for any facility, pipeline, or region. Monitor single assets or entire production basins.
Proven proprietary algorithms analyze satellite imagery pixel by pixel, detecting elevated methane concentrations and tracing them to the source — with flux detection limits of <50 kg/hour onshore and >500 kg/hour offshore.
Receive emission alerts, quantified leak rates, and historical trend data. Prioritize repairs by volume and deploy crews where they matter most.
SatLeak is built to fill the gaps in existing LDAR programs, not replace them — providing frequent revisit, wide-area surveillance, and historical context that ground crews and aerial surveys can't deliver on their own.
Most satellite methane services are tied to a single proprietary constellation. SatLeak applies its detection algorithms to a wide range of commercial and non-commercial satellite sources — broader coverage, more frequent revisits, no vendor lock-in.
Ground LDAR (Method 21, OGI surveys) is essential for component-level repair but limited by access, labor, flux estimation, survey frequency, and a horizontal line of sight that depends on wind direction. SatLeak provides frequent, vertical, top-down surveillance from space that flags major emission events between scheduled LDAR surveys — pointing crews exactly where to look.
Aerial flyovers and drone surveys deliver high-resolution snapshots — but only of the moment they were flown. SatLeak builds a frequent record of every monitored asset, enabling baseline comparison, trend analysis, and reach-back investigation.
Whether you need a one-time wide-area baseline assessment, an ongoing monitoring program, or historical satellite analysis, SatLeak engagements are tailored to match the environmental questions you need answered.
A short-term, defined-scope deployment to test SatLeak against your known assets. Validate detection performance, integrate results with internal workflows, and build the business case for broader rollout.
Recurring monitoring at the frequency you choose — weekly, monthly, or quarterly. Automated reports flag new emissions, super-emitter events, and deviations from baseline, feeding directly into your existing LDAR program.
Reach-back analysis using archived satellite imagery to reconstruct the emissions record of a site over months or years — supporting incident investigations, regulatory inquiries, compliance audits, M&A due diligence, litigation, and verification of previously reported emissions data.
A large-scale monitoring campaign covering more than 70 offshore oil and gas sites identified significant methane emissions exceeding 500 kg/hour at approximately 20% of the surveyed sites. Total estimated emissions reached nearly 40,000 kg/hour — representing a potential economic loss valued at tens of millions of dollars annually.
Rapid detection and quantification enabled operators to prioritize mitigation efforts based on emission severity and operational impact, leading to substantial emission reductions and significant annual cost savings.
Beyond the financial impact, the project improved operational safety, reduced environmental pollution, and lowered the risk of regulatory non-compliance, including potential fines, legal exposure, and reputational damage.
