It's an all-too-common story. A small pipeline leak goes undetected for weeks. By the time it's discovered, the company faces a significant cleanup bill, regulatory penalties, and reputational damage. For oil and gas industry organizations, this isn't just a cautionary tale - it's a real and persistent risk to both financial performance and corporate reputation.

Liquid leaks, especially those involving produced water, are more than mere operational challenges. They bring with them a range of significant and far-reaching impacts, including:

• Environmental Damage: Even small leaks have the potential to pollute soil and water, leading to lasting ecological damage.
• Financial Costs: Cleanup, regulatory fines, and lost product can quickly add up to millions.
• Reputational Harm: With today's growing environmental consciousness, leaks can severely harm a company’s reputation, straining stakeholder relationships and diminishing its market standing.

Despite these risks, many companies fail to prioritize proactive leak detection, inadvertently leaving money on the table.

Satelytics's conversations with leading insurance providers revealed a compelling statistic: produced water leaks account for the single largest claims payouts to oil and gas companies. However, there's an opportunity for companies to leverage available premium discounts by incorporating advanced technologies like geospatial analytics to monitor and prevent leaks. Surprisingly, according to the insurers who have discussed the topic with us, few companies are taking advantage of these incentives, even though they present a clear financial and operational benefit.

Satelytics developed geospatial analytics solutions that provide proactive, reliable leak detection. Using advanced algorithms, our tools detect:

• Produced water leaks
• Hydrocarbon spills
• Methane leaks
• Land movement threatening pipelines
• Encroaching human activity near pipeline rights-of-way

These capabilities enable early intervention well before small issues escalate into significant incidents.
