Synodon Evaluates Strategic Alternatives

Synodon Inc. (Synodon) is a Canada-based company focused on providing aerial integrity management solutions for oil and gas pipeline operators. The Company has developed a remote gas sensing instrument called realSens that is capable of detecting ground-level hydrocarbon gas occurrences from an aircraft flying at an altitude of approximately 300 meters (approximately 1,000 feet). The instrument contains a high definition photographic camera, a thermal camera, laser altimeter, global positioning system (GPS)/inertial navigation system (INS) system, on-board computer, control unit, power supply and an in-cockpit display system. It offers airborne pipeline integrity management services to operators of oil and gas pipelines, which include leak detection, pipeline threat assessment, Right-of-Way (R0W) change and slope analysis, tree canopy encroachment, water crossing analysis (including three-dimensional (3-D) water crossings analysis) and pipeline location classification services.
