We evaluate, optimize, and augment drone operations for gas companies through the supply chain.
Benefits of Oil and Gas Drone Services
Safety:
Our drones eliminate the need for human involvement in dangerous and high-risk operations, such as working over water and at heights. We consider the increased safety of rig personnel one of the greatest advantages of drone inspections, as we know all oil and gas operations strive to be incident-free.
Reliability and Cost-Efficiency:
UAV inspections and surveys are more economical and comprehensive, as drones can provide more data than can be collected with traditional equipment and personnel. This allows our clients to make better business decisions about the maintenance and repair that is needed to protect the company’s assets. We also provide ATEX (intrinsically safe) drones, so our clients do not need to shut down operations for us to conduct our drone surveys and inspections. This is another cost-saving advantage to using our services as it saves on non-productive time and allows operations to continue as normal.
For the oil and gas industry, there are many ways to use drones effectively and safely. Below is a list of UAV applications for oil and gas companies.
- Oil rig and platform inspections and surveys – Drone inspection of all substructures and top structures of the platform or rig to determine any damage or corrosion and to provide data for structural integrity and visual and infrared photography.
- Flaring operations and flare boom inspections – Flare boom inspection for damage or restrictions to include corrosion or clogging. This can be used instead of personnel to do an inspection as a much safer alternative to placing people working over water or working aloft when it is not necessary.
- Drone pipeline inspection – UAV pipeline inspections for structural integrity, corrosion, security, maintenance issues, and leak detection. Drone surveys for new pipeline locations, including terrain surveys for proposed new locations. Aerial mapping of proposed new locations.
- Onshore oil and natural gas plant surveys– Inspection of production and process facilities, including piping, tankage, storage facilities, perimeter security, and perimeter monitoring for maintenance purposes. Leakage monitoring, including corrosion and maintenance issues.
- Derrick, topside, Under Hull (for semi-submersible, jack-ups, platform rigs) inspections and infrared surveys.
- Coatings surveys
- Damage assessments
- Leak detection
- Flare boom inspection
- Flaring operations monitoring
- Drone pipeline inspections
- UAV pipeline surveys (for an existing and potential route for new installations)
- Storage Tanks Inspection
- Stack Inspections and survey
- Splash Zone monitoring for operations
Why Utah Drone?
The drone services market is growing fast and is filled with hype. Every commercial drone operator who is in possession of an unmanned aircraft system (unmanned aerial vehicles are relatively easy to find at every electronic store), which was designed for aerial photography and simple tasks such as real estate or roof aerial inspection services, believes they can be in the business of finding gas leaks.
When your organization faces twenty-first-century challenges, consider Utah Drone a part of your essential toolkit. Each pilot has domain expertise and is professional, well-trained, and experienced.
We understand the accuracy and efficiency required at sea and in harsh environments.
We inspect your rigs from topside to underside; we put our mobile lights and cameras where they are needed. We bring unique expertise in thermal imaging, optical gas imaging, and industrial drones, and we have deep integration skills in developing unmanned systems that are properly tuned for this industry.
Because repair or maintenance can call for personnel in safety harnesses at height or over open water, get a high-resolution look before you make the call to expose your team to risk.
Utah Drone teams are well-versed in cautionary operations in the oil field environment; we won’t add to the risk—we’ll minimize it.
We bring deep knowledge of the drone services market, drone technology, and specifically the oil field related business and operations. Our teams are comprised of experienced oil field workers with backgrounds both onshore and offshore.
