From Pixels to Production: Bedrock Safeguards Energy Assets

Monitoring mandates just got tougher

Energy

Whether you’re an upstream operator accelerating spud-to-first-oil, a midstream integrity lead keeping right-of-ways clear, or an HSE manager preparing for the next PHMSA audit, the message is the same: you need eyes on every asset, every day.

Traditional surveillance like scheduled flyovers, drive-by patrols, and SCADA alarms still matter, but they’re episodic and siloed. Meanwhile, regulators, shareholders, and trading partners demand verifiable proof of environmental stewardship, leak prevention, and plug-and-abandon compliance. Reacting days or weeks after a hydrocarbon release is no longer acceptable when minutes can mean millions.

At Bedrock, we've built a real-time monitoring solution that does the heavy lifting, keeping analysts focused on mission-relevant activity and decision makers steps ahead of the curve.

The multi-modal edge

Multi-Modal

Multi-sensor georegistration, coupled with Geospatial AI, fuses the data you collect today with open source or proprietary vector data and historical imagery to extract additional context and deliver high-confidence reporting.

Unlike most pixel-level monitoring services, we focus on fusing multiple data together in order to create a seamless force multiplier that provides intelligence into how and how significantly change has occurred. In other words, our solution focuses teams on areas of mission-relevant change, and offers rich, predictive insights in ways that single-data offerings can’t. 

Other monitoring services are often limited to one or two types of data inputs, which can cause interruptions from clouds and darkness, or expose spectral blind spots.

Data Type What It Reveals Blind Spots (when used in isolation)
Optical Pad clearing, new roads, earthwork Clouds, night, weak on gas plumes
SAR Surface movement, see-through-clouds Hard to interpret leaks, lacks spectral clues
Thermal / IR Heat from leaks, flaring anomalies Day-time false positives, coarse spatial res
Public data (Overture Maps, NOAA, EPA, weather) Regulatory triggers, rainfall impacting ROW stability None provide enough situational context alone

You no longer need five dashboards and a data science team to stitch the story together; we do it for you.

We remove blind spots by ingesting them all—plus AIS, ADS-B, drone imagery, field photos, open-source data, and your own SCADA events—into one convenient place. Our data fusion engine cross-validates signals, reducing false positives and delivering a ‘single pane of glass’ for asset and operational integrity.

From reactionary to anticipatory

When it comes to safeguarding energy assets, speed and specificity are everything. Our monitoring solution hinges on two purpose-built AI pistons—anomaly detection and semantic annotation—that work together to surface critical events faster than any inspection cycle and shed insight into why they matter to production uptime, safety, and compliance.

  1. Anomaly detection: Real-time data inputs are compared against both a last-known-good baseline and a long-term-average baseline to distinguish expected changes from abnormal, attention-worthy ones. With this understanding, it flags ground disturbance, pad build-out, or vegetation stress along gathering lines, highlighting areas of focus before the next inspection cycle.

  2. Semantic annotation: Using small-sample learning, we train computer-vision models on the events you rarely see but absolutely must catch and understand: rainbow sheens in settling ponds, unauthorized tie-ins, makeshift storage tanks, or micro-methane plumes invisible to RGB..

Together, anomaly detection tells you what and where something changed and semantic annotation drills into how it changed and why it matters to your production and compliance KPIs.

Coupled with our semantic annotation, Urban Sky imagery exposes important changes like pad development or reclamation. Bedrock's monitoring services can be applied to over 1,000s of sites with minimal human intervention required.

Your trusted 24/7 operational partner

Our multi-sensor fusion slashes detection latency from days to hours, shrinking spill volumes and litigation exposure, while delivering 100% coverage across every terrain, from onshore oil fields to sprawling wind farms and offshore platforms, without extra boots or flight hours. Here are some of the ways our insights help energy operators:

Operational Challenge Bedrock Insight Impact
Pad construction & reclamation Flags fresh earthwork and confirms rig arrival, then automatically measures revegetation post‑plug & abandon Faster cycle‑time approvals; audit‑ready EPA evidence
Pipeline encroachment Detects new footpaths, fencelines, or structures breaching ROW setback Proactive right‑of‑way clearing; mitigates third‑party strike risk
Leak & spill detection Identifies thermal hotspots, spectral anomalies, and vegetation stress within hours Reduces product loss and cuts environmental impact and cleanup OPEX
Theft & tampering Spots vehicle tracks at valve sites, ad‑hoc tanks, and unplanned tie‑ins Protects product and reduces non‑scheduled downtime
Regulatory reporting Timestamps imagery and AI‑derived change logs exports for PHMSA, EPA, or ESG systems Streamlines compliance workload
