About Us

Energy Transitioned

With LandCommand® technology and our specialized team, Galehead isn’t just scaling with the Energy Transition, but driving it. As the demand for de-risked assets and significant infrastructure investment grows, Galehead delivers custom projects and renewable solutions that maximize value and impact.

Redefining Upstream

For decades, the term “upstream” has been linked to the fossil fuel industry, signifying the “exploration and production” phase of the oil and gas supply chain. As we shift towards renewable resources, Galehead is redefining what it means to be “upstream” in the energy business. Powered by LandCommand® and a highly specialized development team, Galehead's data-driven platform proves its ability to minimize project development risk, cost, and timelines.
