Facility Inspection
During the daily inspection of pumping units, numerous points require meticulous attention. However, many inspection points are difficult to access and observe. Drones equipped with visible light and thermal cameras can effectively address this challenge by capturing multi-angle videos and photos, which can detect issues such as overheating, oil leaks, loose belts, and bolts. Additionally, drones can help bridge the gap in digital management systems and reduce the manual workload by providing easily stored and trackable inspection data.
Painpoints
Advantages
The structure's complexity, with many blind spots, makes it challenging for inspection teams to conduct thorough inspections.
Close-range, multi-angle inspections effectively address the issue of blind spots and dead corners, enabling the identification of potential problems.
Oil fields are often hazardous and vast, requiring frequent inspections. This results in a significant allocation of human resources to inspection tasks.
Drones can cover large areas, reducing the need for manual labor on foot and ensuring the safety of personnel and production.
Traditional inspection methods cannot be easily digitized, archived, or traced.
Inspection data can be easily stored and tracked over time, leading to improvements in asset management and preventive maintenance efforts.
Oil field operations are subject to stringent regulations and must comply with local, state, and federal standards.
Drone data can be utilized to monitor and ensure operational compliance, as well as to generate supporting documentation and reports for compliance teams.
