Gas leak detection is the process of identifying and locating leaks in natural gas pipelines and infrastructure. It is critical for public safety, environmental protection, and regulatory compliance. Undetected leaks result in lost saleable product, directly reducing revenue for operators.

Gas Recon uses highly sensitive detection equipment combined with GPS-enabled mapping to locate and document gas leaks. Each leak is precisely georeferenced producing detailed reports with mapped results and severity levels, allowing operators to quickly prioritize repairs and maintain system integrity. Surveys are performed by trained and qualified personnel using industry standard equipment and site-specific procedures. Inspections follow a consistent, repeatable process, with all findings recorded by location, equipment type, and severity.

We work across a wide range of infrastructure, including:

• Natural gas distribution systems

• Transmission pipelines

• Gathering systems

• Gas co-op and utility networks

• Upstream production facilities

• Midstream facilities

• Industrial and facility piping

A line locate identifies the exact position of underground pipelines and utilities. It is essential for:

• Preventing third-party damage

• Supporting safe excavation

• Maintaining accurate infrastructure records

A depth of cover survey measures how much soil is covering a buried pipeline. Maintaining proper depth is critical for pipeline protection, regulatory compliance, and long-term integrity.

We use specialized equipment to accurately measure pipeline depth at regular intervals along the right-of-way. Results are tied to GPS coordinates and delivered in a clear, map-based format.

Yes. We provide aerial methane detection using fixed-wing aircraft or helicopters to rapidly screen large areas. This allows for efficient identification of potential problem areas, which can then be verified with ground surveys.

We support clients across:

• Oil and gas

• Utilities and gas co-ops

• Energy infrastructure operators

• Engineering consultants

• Environmental and regulatory organizations

• Landfill and waste management operators

• Municipalities (e.g. environmental services and legacy landfill monitoring)

Gas Recon operates across Canada, including Alberta, Saskatchewan, and British Columbia, with the ability to mobilize efficiently based on project needs, including cross-border support where required.

Our services are backed by high-precision geospatial intelligence, ensuring that all findings are accurately located and easily integrated into GIS systems for decision-making and reporting.

Clients receive:

• Georeferenced leak locations

• Digital maps and GIS-ready data

• Summary reports and insights

• Optional imagery and progress updates

Survey frequency depends on regulations, asset type, and risk profile. There are several resources available with additional information on regulatory requirements:

• Canadian Environmental Protection Act Registry (CEPA)

• Alberta Energy Regulator (AER)

• Saskatchewan Oil and Gas Emissions Management

• BC Energy Regulator (BCER)

Gas Recon offers hands-on industry regulatory experience with advanced geospatial intelligence.

We offer clients:​​

• Advanced geospatial intelligence

• Proven data collection techniques that are scalable

• Robust quality and safety standards
