Orbital Advisors provides a satellite‑based platform that continuously measures natural gas volumes across entire pipeline networks, converting those measurements into economic value and real‑time leak alerts. The cloud dashboard delivers automated quantification, anomaly detection, and asset‑protection tools for midstream operators without needing ground sensors.

Problem
Pipeline operators often lack continuous, comprehensive visibility into the volume of natural gas flowing through their pipelines, making it difficult to detect leaks, assess stored inventory, and protect assets from loss or damage.
Solution
Orbital Advisors offers a satellite-based monitoring platform that provides full-coverage, real-time quantification of natural gas volumes within pipelines. By processing high-resolution satellite data, the system calculates stored gas amounts (e.g., 504,000 mcf) and translates them into economic value metrics. Integrated analytics deliver alerts for abnormal volume changes, supporting rapid leak detection and mitigation. The platform also includes tools for ongoing asset protection and product detection, enabling operators to maintain pipeline integrity and optimize revenue without deploying ground-based sensors.
Target Audience
Primary customers are midstream natural gas pipeline operators and asset managers seeking continuous, remote monitoring of gas inventory and pipeline integrity.
