0, emerging import requirements, and gas certification programs are increasing demand for credible measurement-based emissions data

This is where comprehensive, measurement-based emissions data is becoming a foundational component of long-term infrastructure development

Globally, emissions transparency is becoming more closely tied to market access. Initiatives and regulations emerging in regions such as Europe and Asia are increasing expectations for credible emissions data throughout global oil and gas supply chains

Image: Pointerra Origin Energy will deploy the cloud-native Pointerra3D platform across approximately 750km of gas transmission pipeline in Queensland under a multi-year agreement designed to support automated corridor monitoring and digital twin analytics. The program will use drone-acquired LiDAR and imagery to support quarterly monitoring of Origin’s pipeline corridor, replacing traditionally manual inspection workflows with automated digital twin analytics and secure browser-based access for asset managers

The platform’s pipeline monitoring analytics tools include automated data ingestion and QA/QC, terrain and vegetation change detection, third-party interference detection, erosion volume quantification, depth of cover analysis, vegetation segmentation, encroachment analysis and automated points of interest
