Exploration Phase

Apply UAVs in aviation geophysical prospecting, pipeline surveying and mapping, and site basic data collection

Construction Phase

Equip UAVs with sensors to acquire the construction progress, on-site material stacking status, etc., on a full scale.

Applications

Challenges in Oil and Gas Exploration and Engineering Construction :

  • Because more oil and gas exploration sites are in mountainous areas, signal transmission is hard and it is difficult to guarantee personal safety in real time.
  • Exploration equipment is heavy, material transportation is hard in complex terrain areas, and it is difficult to erect instruments and apparatuses.
  • The 3D geological model set-up is hard, the accuracy is low, and the reality pictures are not consistent with the 2D and 3D diagrams.

UAV Application Advantages:

  • UAVs can carry a communication relay to transmit images and information in real time.
  • Great-load unmanned helicopters are applicable to remote exploration material delivery and transportation.
  • Stack measurement and 3D modeling are available when UAVs carry laser surveying and mapping equipment for high-accuracy terrain surveying and mapping.
  • UAVs can assist channel diagram making and inspection for powerline and pipeline preinstallation.
  • UAVs can carry exploration equipment in the specialties of aviation gravity and magnetic force for low-altitude geophysical prospecting to reduce the cost and improve the efficiency.
