What Is A Drone Oil And Gas Inspection?
Drone oil and gas inspection is a method of inspecting oil and gas assets using drones. It is a safer and faster way to access areas of oil and gas constructions that may pose health, safety, and environmental risks. Drones can collect higher quality, more consistent, and faster data collection than traditional inspection methods
Capitalising on the strength of drone inspections, we deliver unparalleled precision and efficiency to the oil and gas industry. Equipped with advanced sensors and high-resolution cameras, our drones venture into areas of oil and gas infrastructure that were previously difficult or dangerous to reach.
This allows us to rapidly gather comprehensive, high-quality data, minimising downtime and reducing the risk to personnel.

Drone Technology in the Oil and Gas Industry
Advanced UAV Technology For Oil & Gas Drone Inspection
We leverage cutting-edge drone technology to conduct meticulous inspections of offshore oil rigs. Utilising advanced sensors and high-resolution cameras, our drones perform up-close examinations of oil tanks for potential defects or abnormalities, effectively detecting gas leaks, oil spills, and their extent.
The adaptability of our drones allows us to outfit them with an array of sensors, encompassing visual (RGB), infrared (IR), and lidar capabilities. This versatility enhances the breadth and depth of data collection, enabling us to capture precise and comprehensive information about your oil and gas assets.
Leak Detection in Oil and Gas with Drones
Our Process of Using Drones to
Inspect Offshore Assets
Preparation and Planning
Our drone inspection process begins with meticulous planning that considers safety regulations, pilot training, drone program, and logistics.
We carefully strategise to overcome challenges posed by dynamic ocean conditions, ensuring that our operations are safe, compliant, and optimised for the offshore environment.
Deployment and Data Collection
Our skilled drone pilots commands our drones during inspections while our certified personnel guide the pilot, manage camera or sensor operations, and record vital data.
Our drones, capable of swift deployment and agile manoeuvrability, safely access complex structures and areas that are otherwise unreachable or hazardous.
Analysis and Reporting
Following data collection, our team of experts meticulously analyse the images and videos captured by the drones. This scrutiny allows us to detect potential issues such as leaks, corrosion, or structural defects.
We then generate comprehensive reports, outlining our findings and necessary action steps, offering gas companies valuable insights into the health of their offshore assets.
Role of Drones in Oil and Gas Inspections
Oil & Gas Aerial Inspections With A Range of Sensors
In our commitment to providing unparalleled inspections of offshore oil and gas assets, we utilise a variety of cutting-edge sensors aboard our drones. Visual (RGB) cameras capture high-resolution imagery and video, enabling a thorough visual inspection of infrastructure.
Infrared (IR) cameras excel in detecting and quantifying methane and other invisible gas leaks, aiding oil and gas companies in leak prevention and emission reduction. Thermal imaging devices identify temperature disparities on the surface of assets, critical in spotting potential leaks, corrosion, or structural defects.
Lidar (Light Detection and Ranging) sensors produce detailed 3D models of your assets, offering insights into their structural integrity and overall condition. Together, these sensors enable our drones to gather comprehensive data, enhancing the precision and efficiency of offshore oil and gas inspections.
Making Important Decisions with Confidence
Benefits of a Offshore Oil & Gas Drone Inspections
Enhanced Offshore Safety Through Remote Inspection
Our drone inspections minimise risks to human inspectors by conducting thorough examinations of rigs and structures for potential safety hazards such as asset issues, corrosion or structural damage.
Our remote approach underscores our commitment to safety without compromising on inspection quality.
Efficiency and Cost Savings
Our drone inspections streamline the process, completing tasks more swiftly and efficiently than traditional methods.
This rapid operation curtails the need for lengthy downtime, resulting in substantial cost savings for your offshore operations costs.
Uninterrupted Monitoring and Precision
Our drones provide continuous, vigilant monitoring of your facility assets, particularly crucial in isolated offshore locations. We ensure no aspect of your infrastructure is overlooked.
Our drones deliver detailed images and data for precise assessments, preventive maintenance, enhancing accuracy, and ensuring the integrity of your equipment.
Maximising Data Accuracy in Oil and Gas Inspections with Drones
Eliminating Rope Access for Safer Inspections
A defining advantage of our drone inspections lies in their ability to eradicate the need for rope access. By using drones, we can safely and efficiently inspect areas that pose significant challenges or dangers with traditional methods.
This transformational approach proves invaluable for energy companies requiring quick, yet comprehensive offshore pipeline inspections.
Our drones are capable of capturing data that may be arduous or unattainable via conventional methods, thereby enhancing the depth and reliability of our asset inspections.
Game-changer for Gas Sector Emission Control
Accurate Emission Measurements for Sustainable Operations
Our drone technology plays a pivotal role in measuring emission levels for oil and gas operations. Equipped with infrared cameras and advanced sensors, our drones are capable of detecting and quantifying methane and other gas emissions, many of which are invisible to the naked eye.
This ability aids Oil and Gas companies in promptly identifying leaks, preventing costly spills, and effectively reducing emissions, contributing to a more sustainable operation.
Harnessing the power of drone technology, we deliver a comprehensive solution for emission checks, reinforcing the safety, efficiency, and sustainability of modern oil and gas operations.
Transforming Oil and Gas Industry with Unmanned Aerial Inspection
Advanced Drone Offshore Flare Stack Inspection
Leveraging the power of our offshore drone technology, we conduct thorough regular inspections of active flare stacks and storage tanks on offshore platforms. Our drones can safely and swiftly navigate around these vital structures, delivering detailed inspection reports that can help preemptively identify potential issues.
Flare tips are integral to the efficient and safe operation of any offshore oil and gas facility. They assist in the secure burning of gases, contributing to environmental safety and operational efficiency.
We conduct meticulous visual inspections of flare tips, radiation shields, and other essential components using our sophisticated offshore drones.
This approach enables us to detect any emerging issues early on, preventing them from escalating into more significant operational challenges.
Drones are Simplifying Maintenance in Oil and Gas Infrastructure
Revolutionising Bridge Corrosion Inspection
Our high-tech drone approach to offshore oil rig bridge inspections actively addresses the harsh marine conditions these structures face. Exposure to salt, sand, and water triggers various corrosion types:
Our drones, equipped with advanced camera systems and sensors, provide a comprehensive inspection, capturing detailed visual and infrared data that allows us to identify and monitor these corrosion types from their early stages. This proactivity in corrosion management ensures safety and enhances the longevity of your offshore bridges.
Emerging Role of Drones in Oil and Gas Companies
Role of Drones in Preventing Offshore Pipeline Damage
Offshore gas pipelines are susceptible to a range of complex challenges such as corrosion, seafloor instabilities, damage from fishing activities, and natural weather phenomena. We recognise these problems and bring a solution that is not only efficient but also cost-effective and precise asset management systems.
Our drones, equipped with advanced imaging and sensor technologies, are deployed to perform meticulous inspections of these gas pipelines. They can identify early signs of corrosion, monitor changes in the seafloor that could lead to instability, and detect any immediate physical damages that could potentially lead to serious issues if left unaddressed.
