Oil fields feature numerous pipelines across diverse terrains, which are vulnerable to environmental factors. Remote locations complicate on-site inspections and pose safety risks. Utilizing drones equipped with visible light and thermal cameras for automated inspections can effectively mitigate these challenges.
Problems
- Pipelines often stretch across long distances in challenging terrains, rendering manual inspections hazardous and expensive.
- Corrosion is a significant concern for pipelines, necessitating regular inspections to assess the structural integrity and detect potential leaks.
- Traditional inspection methods struggle to maintain accurate documentation of changes due to external or environmental factors.
Solutions
- Drones can swiftly cover extensive pipeline corridors, enhancing inspection efficiency without subjecting personnel to unnecessary risks.
- Increase the frequency and quality of inspections with pre-planned and repeatable drone-based inspections.
- Digitize your inspection records with drone data that is easily stored and shared.
