High-resolution imagery and elevation models for pipelines, transmission, refineries, solar and wind - see what's changing across every asset and act on it.

Value chain
Upstream through downstream, transmission through renewables - each sub-sector matched to the sensors, cadence and analytics that give operators the clearest possible picture of what's happening on the ground.
Wellpad activity monitoring, exploration multispectral, drill-site disturbance tracking and ESG baselines for frontier basins.
Pipeline right-of-way encroachment, terminal and LNG activity, vessel movement at terminals - high-resolution commercial optical on a scheduled cadence.
Refinery activity, storage tank monitoring and turnaround status.
Power-line vegetation management, tower and substation change detection, corridor monitoring - scheduled, network-wide.
Solar and wind site suitability DEMs, construction progress monitoring, vegetation and snow cover analytics for generation assets.
Lifecycle
Three phases of the value chain. The same tasking pipeline serves each - from exploration and site selection through to transmission vegetation management and methane super-emitter detection.
01
Site selection, environmental baselines and wellpad / renewable activity monitoring - from exploration multispectral through to solar and wind DEM suitability.
02
Pipeline right-of-way, LNG and storage terminal activity, transmission corridors and substations - captured through analysis-ready commercial optical on a schedule that matches the asset.
03
Methane attribution, flare detection and oil spill response - satellite imagery pinpoints what is happening at the asset level, measures the extent and produces a timestamped spatial record operators and asset managers can act on.
A single imagery pipeline connects wells, terminals, pipelines, transmission corridors and renewables - every asset, every cadence, one source of evidence.

Transmission corridors, pipelines and renewable assets unified through one scheduled tasking pipeline.

Capabilities
Scheduled high-resolution imagery detects encroachment, third-party interference and construction along pipeline right-of-way without mobilising aerial flights. All-weather radar follows where geotechnical questions need ground-deformation measurement.
Vegetation indices and high-resolution imagery rank transmission, distribution and pipeline corridors by growth pressure, so crews go to the segments that need clearance most, not the ones next on the rotation - cutting outage risk and clearance cost per span.
Stereo-derived elevation models support solar-radiation and wind-exposure analysis for site selection. Once built, the same imagery pipeline tracks construction progress, vegetation encroachment and post-event damage across fossil and renewable portfolios.
High-resolution optical tasked within hours of an incident, with all-weather radar for cloud-blocked or night-time scenes. Independent, timestamped evidence for operators, regulators and insurers in the first 24 hours.
Where energy monitoring falls behind
High-emission methane events go undetected between ground survey cycles, so operators learn about them after the fact, not while there is time to act.
Ground movement along pipelines is caught by field teams after the fact, not during the weeks it develops.
Vegetation outages persist because crews are routed by the calendar, not by which spans carry the most risk.
Methane, vegetation and disturbance data live in different systems, so there is no single record to turn to when questions arise.
The problem
Energy operators juggle methane reporting, pipeline integrity, vegetation management and renewable screening, each on its own inspection schedule, with evidence that rarely reconciles between regulator, board and field team.
The Terrabit approach
Terrabit delivers analysis-ready imagery, elevation models and analytics across the full value chain, so you can see what is happening at every asset, measure change over time and act on one consistent spatial record.

Data & methods

How it works

Same pipeline, same provenance - every asset, every sub-sector.
Outputs
Concrete products energy operators receive across upstream, midstream, transmission and renewables - not abstract capabilities.
Platform
Coordinate imagery, elevation and specialised data tasking across every asset, with centralised budgets, multi-team access and audit-ready archives.

Albatross is where your whole portfolio orders and manages satellite data. Submit tasking, approve budgets, track deliveries and keep a spatial record of every asset, from wellpads and pipelines to transmission corridors and renewables.
