SMART DRONE-BASED INSPECTIONS FOR OIL & GAS

 

Whether you need to monitor the pipeline right-of-ways, inspect well sites, or manage many other oil and gas assets efficiently, our drone-based solutions deliver a flexible, cost-effective way to inspect your oil and gas assets.

Traditional methods of inspecting oil and gas assets are dangerous and time-intensive. Teams of roustabouts, engineers, and EHS professionals drive from asset to asset, or walk pipelines, and take notes on a clipboard or mobile device. While helicopters move inspection to the air, they introduce additional safety risks and lack the agility to navigate complex assets and dangerous terrain.

Now, using drones, you can get better data, faster.

  • Roustabouts inspect miles of pipeline in a single deployment

  • Well tenders eliminate drives between pads, as well as hazardous hours spent on the pads themselves

  • Maintenance directors reduce errors, omissions, and the time it takes to receive and analyze asset performance data


Smart Drone-based Inspections for Oil & Gas

Get Comprehensive Drone and Data Services

There’s no need to own a drone, maintain a pilot on staff, or analyze data. We’ve built our service based on years of operations research and work for Fortune 100 clients. As a result, you can procure enterprise-grade aerial intelligence—featuring easy-to-understand action items and takeaways—through a simple, turnkey service.

Here's how it works:

[1] Collect

Credentialed pilots, with experience flying oil and gas projects, deploy an array of visual and advanced sensors to collect data over the assets.

[2] Process and Analyze

Overseen by our data scientists, the sensor data is processed by proprietary algorithms that interpret the data.

[3] Deliver and Action

Reports identify potential issues and where they are on your property. When data is collected over time, the resulting operational insights can enable long-term asset management.

Put Aerial Intelligence to Work in Your Asset Management Program

Don’t just collect data—get insights. Use our intuitive reporting services to resolve issues or integrate data into asset management and enterprise resource management systems.
