Solution to Oil and Gas Pipeline Aerial Patrol

Without terrain and space limitation, UAV patrol is especially applicable to patrol in segments that are hard for personnel to reach and where full-scale manual detection is impossible. Such UAV patrol improves the efficiency and reduces the cost significantly.

Complete Data Acquisition

UAVs are capable of photographing the conditions of oil and gas transfer pipeline in a full scale and acquiring images in a 360° manner, which improves the patrol inspection quality significantly.

Guaranteed Personal Safety

UAV operation eliminates hidden safety troubles in traditional pipeline patrol and guarantees personal safety.

Applications

Challenges in Oil and Gas Pipeline Patrol ：

Pipeline is long and manpower cost in frequent manual patrol is high.
Evidence collection is difficult in case of pipe damage and it is impossible to timely find foul occupation and construction.
Patrol is slow, refinement degree is low, and it is impossible to master leaking points and leakage concentration timely.
Patrol in special no-man environments such as remote mountainous areas and desert costs much and is accompanied with a low efficiency.

UAV Application Advantages ：

Carrying devices such as photography measurement unit and laser radar, UAVs are capable of generating high-accuracy 3D oil and gas transfer channel models for physical condition analysis on oil and gas transfer lines and subsequent automatic patrol.
Because powerline and gas line pass through high mountains and forests, some roads are hard for personnel to reach. However, UAVs are free from those scenic limits and capable of reaching the site in the first time.
