Pipelines, transmission, refineries, solar and wind - high-resolution commercial satellite imagery and digital elevation models (DEMs) delivered straight into your operational workflow, so you can see what's changing across every asset, monitor it consistently and act on what the imagery shows.
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
High-resolution commercial optical imagery on a scheduled cadence detects encroachment, third-party interference and construction on pipeline right-of-way without mobilising aerial flights. All-weather radar follows for ground-deformation measurement when geotechnical questions require it.
Multiband vegetation indices - NDVI (Normalised Difference Vegetation Index) and EVI (Enhanced Vegetation Index) - alongside high-resolution optical imagery rank transmission, distribution and pipeline corridors by vegetation growth pressure. Crews are deployed to the segments that need clearance most, not the ones on the rotation - material reduction in outage risk and clearance cost per span.
Sub-metre commercial optical tasking monitors wellpads, refineries, LNG terminals and tank farms - activity, disturbance, storage-level change and turnaround status - colour-balanced, orthorectified and ready for analysis. Thermal layers add flare intensity and hot-spot detection where required.
Stereo-derived DEMs to support solar-radiation surfaces and wind-exposure analysis to drive solar and wind site selection. Once built, the same analysis-ready imagery pipeline monitors construction progress, vegetation encroachment and post-event damage - one pipeline across both fossil and renewable portfolios.
Rapid-task high-resolution optical for incident assessment within hours of landfall, with all-weather radar layered in for cloud-blocked or night-time scenes. Independent, timestamped evidence supports offshore operators, regulators and insurers during the first 24 hours.
Where energy monitoring falls behind
Without satellite methane coverage, high-emission events go undetected between ground survey cycles - operators learn about them after the fact, not while there is still time to act.
Ground displacement on long linear assets is caught after the fact by field teams, not during the weeks the settlement develops.
Transmission and distribution outages driven by vegetation encroachment persist because crew routing is calendar-based, not risk-ranked.
Methane, vegetation and disturbance data is pulled from different systems each cycle - the spatial record fragments, and there is no single source of truth when questions arise.
The problem
Energy operators juggle methane reporting, pipeline integrity, vegetation management and renewable site screening across distributed assets - each on a different inspection schedule, with evidence that rarely reconciles between regulator, board and field team.
The Terrabit approach
Terrabit delivers analysis-ready commercial optical imagery, DEMs and multiband analytics across the full value chain - colour-balanced, orthorectified to control, atmospherically corrected and pansharpened - so you can see what is happening at every asset, measure change over time and act on consistent spatial data.
