Drone inspecting an oil and gas facility

Inspect plants and pipelines without shutdowns

A drone surveys tanks, stacks, flare tips and pipeline corridors while the plant stays operational, capturing thermal and zoom imagery that would otherwise require shutdowns, scaffolding or rope access in hazardous, classified areas.

Safety in hazardous areas: keep personnel out of classified and elevated zones.

No shutdowns: inspect while the plant keeps running.

Thermal detection: spot leaks, hot spots and insulation loss.

Corridor coverage: survey long pipeline routes in a single flight.

Drone oil & gas inspection: common questions

What is the best drone for oil and gas inspection? +

A DJI Matrice paired with the Zenmuse H30, combining thermal, long-range zoom and a laser rangefinder, is the reference setup for external inspection of tanks, stacks and pipeline corridors. The Matrice 4T offers integrated thermal for smaller sites.

Can drones inspect a plant while it stays operational? +

Yes. Drones inspect tanks, stacks, flare tips and pipelines from the air without shutdowns, scaffolding or confined-space entry, keeping personnel out of hazardous zones.

Why is thermal important in oil and gas? +

Thermal imaging reveals leaks, overheating components and insulation loss invisible to the eye, making it central to early fault detection on plants and pipelines.

Are standard drones safe to use near oil and gas facilities? +

Standard DJI Enterprise drones inspect from a safe stand-off distance, outside classified zones; for internal or confined classified spaces, specialised platforms are used. We help define a compliant inspection plan for your site.
