Oil & Gas Drone Services Drone inspections and surveys of Oil & Gas assets are safer and more cost-efficient than traditional methods.

Uninterrupted operations, safer inspections

Drones are becoming a more and more helpful tool in the Oil & Gas industry, which can be a very dangerous one. Inspections and surveys of these assets by UAVs can produce instantaneous, useful data without endangering human life, and with greater cost and time efficiency. We use cutting-edge technology to find faults or inefficiencies without incurring the additional expense of asset downtime.

Details from a Safe Distance

Our drones can capture the minute details of any object, without having to touch or even get close to it. Objects that once had to be shut down, climbed and traversed can now be inspected and monitored in real time more quickly, and with zero risk to personnel.

Remote Monitoring

The use of drone 3D modelling technologies gives you the opportunity to inspect a digital twin of a oil and gas asset from the comfort of your office. This detailed replica can be inspected at a minute level, allowing you to make a record of any areas that are in need of attention. Issues such as poorly executed repairs, general damage and other potential weaknesses can be shared with your employees, suppliers and other shareholders at the click of a button.

Locate Irregularities

Drones equipped with thermal imaging cameras allow you to accurately assess the condition of a oil and gas asset. Infrared photographs can be used to detect extreme temperature differences that can locate otherwise unseen issues, such as concealed moisture damage and heat leakage.

Access Hard-To-Reach Areas

The use of specialist impact-resistance technology deployed with our drones allows us to access areas that are otherwise too hazardous or difficult to reach. Get instant data from confined spaces without the time-consuming, labour-intensive and costly methods of the past, and with zero risk to personnel.

Reduce/Negate Asset Downtime

Drone inspections do not need scaffolding, equipment and other structures to be erected. This leads to less downtime and higher productivity. Complying with appropriate health and safety regulations without sacrificing production time, allows for significant financial savings.

Why use a drone for your oil and gas inspection?

Safety

The safety of your personnel and our own is paramount, and we place it at the forefront of our company culture. Ask us about our HSSE systems and practices.

No traffic disruption

Downtime is expensive, unpopular and inconvenient. Using a drone, our engineers can conduct a thorough survey with little to no downtime.

No scaffolding or ropes

Drone technology is cheaper, safer and more reliable than traditional methods such as scaffolding, cherry-pickers and ropes. It's also quicker and less labour-intensive. We will bring everything we need and be out of your way that same day.

Detect hidden problems

We use cutting-edge technologies to detect problems that would otherwise be invisible. These include 4K ultra-HD photography/video, LIDAR and thermal imaging.

Hard-to-reach spaces

Drones aren't just for flying up in the sky. Our specialist drones can fly into confined spaces like chimneys and boilers to look for issues that would otherwise be inaccessible.

Quick turnaround

We understand that you need answers fast. We can deliver a plain-English report with clear-cut conclusions in days. Then, you can take the steps you need to and get back to doing what you do best.

Rapid response

Need us there in a hurry? No problem. Let us know what you need, and we can be there on the same day. After all, sometimes the problem just won't wait.

Real-time consulting

Sometimes the brief can change even in real-time. If need be, you can be stood there right next to the drone operator, directing them as the situation develops.

Comprehensive inspections of all oil & gas infrastructure

Our drones are the perfect tool for inspecting and surveying oil rigs, pump stations, refineries, and other structures both on and offshore. Drones have become the industry standard in the oil and gas business due to their unobtrusive nature. Receive detailed, up-to-the-minute reports without having to shut down your operations. Our team of highly skilled and knowledgeable UAV pilots and operators will take the utmost care of your assets while compiling actionable reports.

Efficiency through all stages of operation

Traditional means of carrying out even the most routine of inspections or surveys in the oil and gas industry can be hazardous, sometimes even lethal and time-consuming.

Our drones allow you to get visuals across every inch of your assets, from underneath platforms to inside confined spaces and from bird's-eye views to crystal clear close-ups. Time is saved not only during the inspection itself but in the planning and organisation process.

Our Services Not just photos from the sky

Our drones (and our people) can offer a lot more than just HD images. Our team all come from specialist engineering backgrounds, and they use all the very latest drone technologies and capabilities to deliver expert analysis on all types of commercial, civil and industrial assets. If you need an engineer's expertise, next-generation drone technology and industry-leading deliverables, then you've come to the right place.
