UAS inspection technology allows Oil and Gas operating companies to safely conduct routine inspections of their assets with little to no interruption of their operations. Traditional inspection methods might be challenging because of access issues, including posing safety hazards on personnel trying to access the equipment to be inspected, costs associated with the inspection (e.g., scaffolding, downtime, man hours to conduct the actual inspection), and accuracy and repeatability of the inspection.
One of the biggest benefits of using drone technology is the ability to perform tasks quickly and effectively. Drones can be used to replace crews on foot as well as costly and higher risk manned-aircraft operations while capturing high altitude, high quality, and high accuracy data about the assets. The outcome of a drone mission is actionable data that empowers stakeholders to make data-driven and timely decisions to address issues / deviations found during flight.
Whether the mission is to conduct a visual or a thermal inspection of equipment at the facility, or to monitor and manage long segments of pipeline spread across different geographies, or to capture an up-to-date 2D or 3D map of the facility or pipeline ROW, using drone technology is one of the most cost-effective tools available in industry today.
Drone Platform Technology
The DJI Matrice 300 RTK is the new standard for commercial drone inspections. This platform offers up to 55 minutes of flight time, 6 directional sensing and positioning, Real-time auto-switching between 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz4 enables more reliable flight near high-interference environments, while AES-256 encryption offers secure data transmission.
