Extending the reach of drones in Oil & Gas operations
From inspecting onshore and offshore refineries to preventing the theft of crude oil, drones are used in the oil & gas industry in several ways, across upstream, midstream and downstream segments. Let’s look at the different ways at how drones are being used in oil & gas.
Contact UsBVLOS Drone Connectivity for Upstream Operations
BLVOS drones are used for upstream operations to improve safety, efficiency and regulatory compliance. With its expanded reach, BVLOS drones can monitor vegetation, detect spills, track gas emissions and other data collection more accurately and for a longer range.
Contact UsBVLOS Drone Connectivity for Rescue Operations
Beyond the line of sight drones can play an essential role of first responder in emergency situations. The video provided by drones can map fires and oil spills, helping decision makers effectively deploy resources to remedy the situation.
Contact UsBVLOS Drone Connectivity for Deliveries
Drones can carry out deliveries of material, replacement parts and supplies to offshore rigs and other remote operations, instead of sending out a boat or helicopter to reach the rig. Elsight’s BVLOS drones enable a full drone fleet to be remotely controlled by one operator.
Contact UsBVLOS Drone Connectivity for Pipeline Inspections
Drones can be used to inspect thousands of miles of pipelines at a fraction of the cost and at a more precise level when they are empowered by Elsight’s BVLOS technology. Drones carrying thermal imaging sensors can perform inspections which will help predict the health or critical equipment and can assist in forecasting potential malfunctions.
Contact UsBVLOS Drone Connectivity for Refinery Inspections
Drones are used to inspect hard-to-access areas, such cranes and derricks, after severe weather. Inspecting risers and installation jackets limit dangerous rope access and inspecting splash areas with thermographic imaging can detect otherwise hard to detect corrosion.
Contact UsBVLOS Drone Connectivity for Facility Inspections
Facility inspections can be carried out by BVLOS drones to detect cracks and anomalies, and inspecting storage tanks for corrosion and leaks. When empowered by Elsight’s Halo, the inspections may be controlled from a remote location.
