What We Do
TerraStinger
Subsurface Intelligence. Built for the Field.
TerraStinger is a flexible, ground-deployable monitoring system engineered to detect and interpret subtle changes beneath the surface. Built for extreme environments and adaptable across sectors, it provides the reliability needed for high-stakes carbon, energy, and infrastructure applications.
Key Capabilities:
Tracks CO₂ plume behavior, fugitive gas, and environmental anomalies
Supports deployment at multiple depth tiers and terrain types
Engineered for long-term, low-maintenance field operation
Integrates with existing monitoring frameworks and MRV systems
Aligned with regulatory, environmental, and operational standards
TerraCloud
Unifying Environmental Signals—Anywhere You Are
TerraCloud is our secure, cloud-based platform that transforms raw subsurface data into real-time insight. Accessible from your phone, tablet, or desktop, it keeps decision-makers connected to the field—no matter where they are.
By integrating data from TerraStinger and other sources, TerraCloud provides a unified view of subsurface activity, helping teams detect early risk, streamline compliance, and support better decisions across the lifecycle of carbon, energy, and environmental operations.
Market Opportunity
Across sectors, the need for real-time subsurface intelligence is growing—fast.
From carbon storage to defense infrastructure, from tribal lands to critical aquifers, organizations are seeking better ways to monitor what lies beneath. Most existing systems are fragmented, costly, or ill-suited for long-term use in the field.
TerraDAC meets this moment with modular, scalable solutions designed for impact.
We serve a broad and expanding market, including:
- Over 100 carbon storage sites requiring long-term MRV under federal regulation
- Thousands of legacy wells needing retrofit monitoring for leakage and pressure
- Federal and defense installations facing subsurface risk exposure
- Tribal governments asserting environmental sovereignty through technology
- Climate and scientific institutions integrating geophysical data into predictive models
This isn’t just a monitoring challenge—it’s a data infrastructure opportunity. TerraDAC delivers the tools to meet both.
Public Funding & Development Path
TerraStinger is supported in part by a U.S. Department of Energy Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) award in partnership with University of Oklahoma as our research partner.
This support has enabled us to prototype, validate, and scale our systems in partnership with academic institutions, tribal nations, and private-sector collaborators. We’re actively developing deployment strategies with stakeholders across the U.S., and building the foundation for next-generation monitoring standards in the energy and climate sectors.
Partner With Us
The future of environmental monitoring isn’t just technical—it’s collaborative.
At TerraDAC, we co-design solutions with the people driving energy transaition, protecting ecosystems, securing infrastructure, and stewarding land. Whether you’re leading a climate project, advancing tribal priorities, or shaping policy—we want to work alongside you.
We’re currently collaborating with:
- Field sites preparing for deployment
- Carbon and energy infrastructure operators
- Tribal governments advancing sovereignty through tech
- Federal labs and resilience agencies
Climate-focused investors and innovation partners
We’re seeking new partnerships to explore:
- Pilot programs and field testing
- Integration with existing MRV systems
- Joint research and technology development
Investment and scaling strategies
Let’s build what the future demands. Together.
