Asia-Pacific has become the center of gravity for global gas demand, and the pressure is landing on infrastructure.
The IEA expects gas use in Southeast Asia’s power sector to grow by more than 60% under today’s policy settings even as domestic production falls by a third, while regional electricity demand is already climbing twice as fast as overall energy use. Bridging that gap means new import terminals, new regasification capacity, and new transmission lines being commissioned across the region at a pace it has never seen before.
Every kilometer of that buildout adds exposure. New corridors push into land where the right-of-way is unfamiliar to the people working around it, existing networks run through districts that are urbanizing year over year, and monsoon-driven erosion, subsidence, and flooding keep reshaping the ground the pipe sits in. Third-party excavation remains one of the leading causes of pipeline incidents worldwide, and it happens on a timescale that periodic patrols and aerial surveys were never built to catch.
That is the conversation we are bringing to Gastech 2026. Now in its 54th edition, Gastech runs September 14-17, 2026 at BITEC in Bangkok, hosted by Thailand’s Ministry of Energy under the theme “Where Global Energy Demand Meets Supply.”
Showcasing SurfaceScout in the AiXENERGY Zone
New for 2026, AiXENERGY is the co-located exhibition and conference dedicated to artificial intelligence, electrification and next-generation energy systems: the part of the show floor where operators come specifically to see what AI can do for their assets.
You will find LiveEO there at Stand AIZ17, right beside the AiXENERGY Theatre and the zone entrance.
We will be demonstrating SurfaceScout, our AI-powered satellite monitoring solution built to help pipeline and gas infrastructure operators detect third-party activity, track ground movement, and protect assets at scale, without relying solely on ground patrols and aerial surveys.
With SurfaceScout, gas and pipeline operators can:
- Monitor entire networks continuously using high-cadence satellite imagery, across corridors that are difficult or expensive to reach on the ground
- Detect excavation, construction and heavy machinery activity near assets early — while there is still time to intervene, not after the fact
- Track ground movement, subsidence and flood impact across geologically active and monsoon-exposed terrain
- Prioritize response with AI-driven change classification and human-in-the-loop validation that keeps false alarms low and field crews focused
- Scale coverage across thousands of kilometers of new and existing corridors without a proportional increase in patrol or survey costs
- Maintain an audit-ready record of every detected threat and the action taken, supporting integrity management reporting and regulator engagement
Built for Teams Operating Across Distance
SurfaceScout was built for the operators who cannot be everywhere at once. Integrity engineers use it to see what has changed along the right-of-way since the last inspection.
Damage prevention teams use it to catch unpermitted work before a strike. Asset and operations leads use it to compare exposure across an entire portfolio in one view, and to evidence that threats along the whole length of the network are still identified and still controlled.
It works alongside existing patrol programs, GIS systems and integrity workflows rather than replacing them, which is what makes it deployable across a network that is still growing.
Let’s Connect in Bangkok!
You can find the LiveEO team at Stand AIZ17 in the AiXENERGY zone across all four days of the exhibition. Our delegation in Bangkok includes Bonita Lloyd (Account Executive APAC), Hussein Awada (Business & Sales Development Representative, EMEA & APAC), Sharon Franco (Partnership & Business Development Lead, APJ) and Piero Marlia (Director, Global Partnerships).
Stop by for a live demo of SurfaceScout, a conversation about how satellite monitoring would work across your specific network, and one of our custom LiveEO Lego kits.
We look forward to seeing you at BITEC!
