UAV Application in Oil and Gas Stations and Maritime Platforms

Relying on the autonomous patrol application, UAVs are capable of surveillance of the conditions of oil and gas stations and maritime platforms in the air. With an unattended mode, the operation complexity is lowered, the on-site safety can be monitored in a full coverage manner, and the operational safety is guaranteed.

How UAVs can assist oil and gas maritime platform application.

Unattended Mode

Deploy remote unattended UAVs for system patrol, making the unattended concept into a reality.

Auto Patrol

Make routine patrol schedules and courses for auto patrol and transmit patrol data in real time for AI identification.

Applications

Challenges in Oil and Gas Station and Maritime Platform Surveillance

Refinery pipes are complicated; the difficulties in abnormality patrol are great; and risks to personnel are higher.

Losses of large-scale outdoor equipment in a refinery are hard to be detected in the ground surveillance mode.

Production equipment is in the field, and frequent inspection and repair cost much and the time-efficiency is low.

The bottom and tower pylons of maritime platforms suffer from severe sea water and salt fog erosion. Manual patrol efficiency is low and the risks are higher.

UAV Application Advantages

With various sensors, UAVs are capable of photographing and generating images in visible light, IR, or multiple spectrums for the stations or pylons to identify hidden failures and further improve efficiency.

UAVs can carry visible light or IR pods for seamless patrol in the air, leaving thieves nowhere to hide.

Configure the UAV nest to monitor missions and flight condition online through the cloud platform without arriving at the site.

Use the airborne megaphone and caution light to expel illegal construction personnel after suspects are found and the personnel in the back end can arrange on-site verification rapidly.
