Why the Kejora Satelytics Partnership Matters
The oil & gas, mining, and energy sectors face mounting pressure: tighter environmental regulation, higher stakeholder expectations, and real financial risk from leaks or infrastructure failures that go undetected too long. The Kejora Satelytics partnership addresses this need directly.
Through this partnership, Kejora now offers technology proven to detect hydrocarbon leaks, methane emissions, land movement, and third-party encroachment across pipeline and infrastructure assets — all from a single satellite imagery dataset, analyzed through more than 40 purpose-built AI algorithms.

The Right Moment for This Alliance
The global satellite data services market, valued at approximately $12.95 billion in 2025, is forecast to grow at a CAGR of nearly 20% through 2032. The broader geospatial analytics market is projected to add $178.6 billion in value by 2029. The Kejora Satelytics partnership positions our clients to capture this momentum early, rather than playing catch-up once the technology becomes industry standard.
Who Satelytics Is and What They Offer
Satelytics is a geospatial analytics company that develops satellite-based monitoring platforms using multispectral and hyperspectral imagery. The platform can simultaneously detect a wide range of infrastructure risks: hydrocarbon leaks, produced-water leaks, methane emissions, vegetation stress indicating hidden problems, land movement threatening pipeline integrity, and unauthorized third-party activity near rights-of-way.
Technology Already Proven in the Field
Satelytics is not an unproven technology. The company has run full-scale, weekly basin-wide monitoring programs across major North American oil & gas operations for more than three years, with dozens of confirmed leaks detected at their earliest stages — several formally logged in regulatory databases as initially identified through satellite analytics.
Proven Results: From Early Detection to Major Savings
One of the clearest examples of Satelytics’ capability is a case in which a leak was detected 13 days earlier than traditional ground-based methods would have caught it — saving millions of dollars in cleanup costs and avoiding heightened regulatory scrutiny.
On the other end of the spectrum sits a costly industry lesson: a produced-water leak that went undetected for 143 days, ultimately contaminating more than 30 miles of river tributaries and resulting in over $85 million in combined fines and cleanup costs. That contrast makes clear the value of the early detection now available through the Kejora Satelytics partnership.
An Operational Case Study
One major oil & gas operator now monitors roughly 4,000 square miles of infrastructure several times a week using the Satelytics platform, catching minor leaks early enough to avoid what would otherwise become significant environmental and financial fallout. The program was maintained and expanded even after the operator was acquired by a global energy company — strong evidence that the value of this approach holds up under real financial and operational scrutiny.
What Sets This Apart from Conventional Solutions
Conventional inspection methods — periodic field patrols and pressure-based SCADA systems — are effective at catching large, sudden leaks but have significant limitations when it comes to slow, small leaks. PHMSA data shows that inline detection systems catch only about 5% of all leak incidents, while roughly 76% of incidents are actually small, under 30 barrels.
Measurable Speed
With imagery resolution as fine as 30–50 centimeters and daily revisit capability, the Satelytics platform can generate alerts — including location, estimated size, severity, and asset ID — within hours of a satellite pass. That is a significant shift from the monthly, quarterly, or even annual inspection cycles that remain standard across much of the industry.
What This Partnership Means for Kejora Clients
The Kejora Satelytics partnership brings several concrete benefits to clients across the oil & gas, mining, and energy sectors:
- Faster early detection — from months to hours.
- Full network coverage — including remote pipelines and wells that have historically lacked SCADA investment.
- One platform, many insights — hydrocarbon leaks, methane, land movement, and encroachment detected from the same dataset.
- Regulatory compliance support — detection documentation usable for environmental reporting and insurance negotiations.
- Cost efficiency — reduced need for routine field patrols and lower cleanup costs from incidents that could have been prevented.
Relevance for Regional Markets
For Kejora clients managing assets in regions with dense infrastructure networks and difficult-to-reach terrain, the Kejora Satelytics partnership offers a solution that is more economically efficient than adding separate field patrol teams or drones for each individual risk category.
Services Now Available Through Kejora
Through this partnership, Kejora will bring Satelytics’ satellite-based monitoring services to clients in oil & gas, mining, and energy, including:
- Hydrocarbon and produced-water leak detection across pipeline networks.
- High-precision methane emissions monitoring.
- Detection of encroachment and third-party activity along pipeline rights-of-way.
- Land movement analysis for infrastructure integrity risk.
- Additional environmental monitoring, including verification of ecosystem restoration projects for ESG reporting needs.
Next Steps with Kejora
The Kejora Satelytics partnership marks an important step in Kejora’s effort to bring globally proven, AI-powered geospatial technology to the oil & gas, mining, and energy markets. With a track record already established across major North American operating regions, Satelytics is the right partner to support operators moving from reactive response to proactive, sustained infrastructure monitoring.
If your organization is still relying solely on periodic inspections and pressure-based alarms, now is the time to re-evaluate your infrastructure monitoring strategy. Contact Kejora today to learn how Satelytics’ satellite-based solutions can be deployed across your assets, and become part of the group of operators leading this shift rather than catching up to it.
